Assault? Arson? Criminal Damage? Weapons possession? Unlawful assembly?)  What were the 5 distinct events (or days) in which the most arrests were made ? 2) Do you have any breakout of the protests in terms of what cause they were defending?  Number of Pro-establishment protests ?  Number of Anti-establishment protests ?  How many arrests were made during Anti-establishment events and Pro-establishment events respectively ?  How many people were prosecuted following the Yuen Long MTR station events on 21st/22nd of July, 2019 ? 3) How many protests applications were accepted ? How many were rejected, and on what legal grounds ?
