No mask ban

Hong Kong protests seem to largely involve students, many wearing face masks. Yesterday however, a high court ruled against a mask ban. The high court in Hong Kong was called the Supreme court before the alleged handover to China in 1997.
Protesters are said to have barricaded themselves inside a university in Kowloon, but many may be trapped. Some protestors are said to have set the entrance on fire. Others were seen abseiling to safety from a different entrance where they were met by motorbikes.
There is a call from Hong Kong’s chief of police, asking citizens to help end the turmoil.
