Petrol bombs hurled at a Hong Kong police station and dozens of people arrested following a march against so-called parallel trading near the Chinese border
A man has pepper spray washed from his his face by police after being detained during a clearance operation after a demonstration against parallel trading in Sheung Shui in Hong Kong on January 5, 2020.
Several petrol bombs were thrown at the Sheung Shui police station, about 1.5 kilometres from where the rally took place. There is significant resentment against the practice, which frequently leaves goods in short supply in border towns, and has driven up the price of commodities as well as shop rents.
