Police in Hong Kong have apprehended 196 protesters who staged a pro-democracy sit-in at the city's business district.
The demonstrators were reportedly apprehended for illicit assembly and obstructing police officers.
It came after tens of thousands of protesters marched on Tuesday in what was described as the city's most immensely colossal democracy rally in a decade.
The annual rally, marking the day Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, was to authoritatively mandate full electoral liberation.
Organisers verbalized turnout at the rally was 510,000, while police verbally expressed about 98,600 took part during the apex of the march.
After the main march had ended, hundreds of protesters staged a sit-in in the city's Central district.
Police verbalized the sit-in was "unauthorised" and commenced abstracting some of the participants in the early hours of Wednesday.
