A protest against the postponed elections in Hong Kong ended in 289 arrests on Sunday.

Pepper spray and pepper balls were deployed by the police whilst plain-clothed police officers were filmed tackling protesters to the ground. Photographers from United Social Press and HKFP were on the front lines. Click here for the full story.
