Hongkongers staged protests on Oct. 13 throughout all 18 of the city’s districts, as demonstrations against the pro-Beijing government extended to their 19th consecutive weekend.

Meanwhile, police ramped up their tactics, even detaining citizens who weren’t wearing masks or black shirts—attire typically worn by protesters.

‘Fighting Bravely’

Hongkongers called their protest on Oct. 13, “Fighting Bravely Everywhere as One Family,” appearing at major shopping centers throughout the city at around 1 p.m. local time to call on the government to answer their five demands.
