The ban comes after an escalation of violence during protests on 1 October. That day a police officer “shot a demonstrator”. Protests erupted immediately after the ban was announced.

Anti-mask law

According to the government, the percentage of demonstrators who are students has risen from 25% to 38%. The mask ban would help prevent students breaking the law.
