		</div><p>Skirmishes have taken place between police and protesters in Hong Kong for a second straight day following a pro-democracy march.</p>
<p>While a large crowd rallied in a nearby park, another group of protesters took over a main street, strewing bamboo poles on the pavement and lining up orange and white traffic barriers and cones to try to obstruct the police.</p>
<p>After hoisting warning flags, police used tear gas to try to disperse the crowd.<br />
Protesters responded by throwing bricks and petrol bombs towards the police.</p>
<p>Prior to the skirmishes, tens of thousands of umbrella-carrying protesters marched in the rain in Hong Kong’s latest pro-democracy demonstration.</p>
<p>Many filled Tsuen Wan Park, the endpoint of the rally, chanting, <em>“Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong”</em>, as per South China Morning Post.</p>
<p>The march started near the Kwai Fong railway station, which has become a focal point for protesters after police used tear gas in the station earlier this month.</p>
<p>Police with riot gear could be seen moving into position along the march route.</p>
<p>Protesters have taken to the semi-autonomous Chinese territory’s streets for more than two months. Their demands include democratic elections and an investigation into police use of force to quell the protests.</p>
<p>A large group clashed with police on Saturday after a march in the Kowloon Bay neighbourhood, building barricades and setting fires in the streets.</p>
<p>Police said they arrested 29 people, ranging from 17 to 52 years old, for various offences. Some include unlawful assembly, possession of offensive weapons and assaulting police officers.</p>
<p>The clashes, while not as prolonged or violent as some earlier ones, ended a brief lull in the violence. The protests had been largely peaceful the previous weekend, after weeks of escalating violence.</p>
<p>Protesters in Hong Kong have demanded that the city’s leader, Carrie Lam, step down. However, that demand has evolved into a broader call for fully democratic elections.</p>
