Protests, security, arrests in Hong Kong as night falls
Protesters have remained on the streets of Hong Kong despite an increased police presence.
Several of the demonstrators were seen with their faces covered, in defiance of the government's use of a colonial-era emergency law to criminalize the wearing of face masks at rallies.
The ban that went into effect at midnight Friday triggered an overnight rash of widespread violence and destruction.
Hong Kong's embattled leader described the rioting "as a very dark day" for the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
