A combo picture shows protesters wearing face masks during a protest against an anti-mask law meant to deter anti-government protesters, in Hong Kong, China, 04 October 2019.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that her government would use emergency powers to ban face masks in public in a bid to end the city’s protests.
Hong Kong has been gripped by mass demonstrations since June over a now-withdrawn extradition bill, which have since morphed into a wider anti-government movement.
