Riot police chase protesters through Hong Kong shopping malls

Hong Kong riot police chased demonstrators through shopping malls, fired pepper spray and arrested a pro-democracy politician on Sunday as protests calling for the resignation of the city’s unpopular leader resumed after a pandemic-enforced lull. Hundreds of protesters responded to a call for flash mobs and gatherings in at least 10 shopping malls across the city, marking a modest return for the pro-democracy movement that convulsed the Asian financial hub for seven straight months last year through rallies that often turned violent.
