Hong Kong protests: Police defend use of 'disguised' officers

Why are there protests in Hong Kong ?Demonstrations started in June in opposition to a proposed extradition bill, which would have allowed suspected criminals to be sent to Mainland China for trial.
Critics said it would undermine Hong Kong 's legal Freedoms , and could be used to silence political dissidents.
Although the government has now suspended The Bill , demonstrators want it to be fully withdrawn.
Their demands have broadened to include calls for an independent inquiry into alleged Police Brutality , and an amnesty for all arrested protesters.
Hong Kong is part of China but its citizens have more autonomy than those on the mainland.
It has a free press and judicial independence under the so-called "one country, two systems" approach - Freedoms which activists fear are being increasingly eroded.
