Protesters Vow to Fight Hong Kong Mask Ban

Protests in Hong Kong have begun as Carrie Lam speaks, with people gathering in the city center. The protests are expected to grow, fueled by a ban that has not been enacted in over 50 years.

The situation is dynamic, with the potential for significant turnout over the weekend.
