Lawmakers in Hong Kong have set up a committee to push for an anti-mask law, as violent protests in the city continue to escalate. The Legislative council members said this will not affect people's right to wear masks in public or legal gatherings, and they argue that similar laws have been implemented in a number of Western countries. Committee members admit that the government or police may not have enough resources to implement such a law amid the current chaotic situation, but they believe it could be a good start in restoring social order.
