Over 700 people have been arrested in connection with the ongoing protests in Hong Kong, and many of them are underage.
A 14-year-old female student, surnamed Chan, told local media that she was not even a protester but was arrested for merely passing near a police station at Tin Shui Wai on Aug. 5, according to NOW.
