Hong Kongers protest against extradition bill
Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong have taken to the streets for a second day, blocking roads and erecting barricades around government headquarters.
Police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
Protesters are demonstrating against a new extradition bill that would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial. Those opposed to the new bill say critics of Beijing could be arbitrarily extradited and face torture, detentions or forced confessions.
In response, the government has promised legally binding safeguards.
This week's protests are the largest Hong Kong has seen since the handover to China in 1997.
