This article talks about protesters in Hong Kong being arrested. The majority of the protesters were arrested on charges of "unlawful assembly", and a handful of others were arrested for "misconduct in public places". A few for attacking police officers. This time, the Hong Kong protesters are protesting the Chinese government postponing the local elections. They wish for the elections to go on as scheduled. The protesters believe the government has delayed in the local elections because the government is worried that pro-government parties will not succeed in the election.
The election had been delayed for at least a year. It will be interesting to see how things develop in the coming months, after the civil unrest in Honk Kong for the last year.
