HONG KONG—Police fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters besieging the city’s government headquarters, as tens of thousands took to the streets in defiance of a police ban on antigovernment demonstrations.
Violence flared in the Admiralty area late Saturday afternoon after crowds occupied major roads in processions that stretched for miles through the city. In other districts, people of all ages held umbrellas in drizzling rain, chanting for freedom as social unrest stretched into a 13th weekend.
