An incident whereby Hong Kong police sprayed blue-dyed water from its water cannon vehicle onto the city’s largest mosque has sparked outrage among locals.

On Oct. 20 afternoon, roughly 350,000 Hongkongers marched from Tsim Sha Tsui to the Kowloon neighborhood to protest an anti-mask law recently enacted by the government in an attempt to quell unrest.
