Police attempt to remove a protestor from a sit-in outside the Legislative Council (LEGCO) building in Hong Kong on January 16, 2010, during a demonstration against a controversial 8.6-billion US dollar railway project. Police used pepper-spray on hundreds of angry protesters as they tried to break through a barricade surrounding the Legislative Council building after Hong Kong lawmakers voted in favour of a railway to link Hong Kong and Guangzhou, capital of neighbouring Guangdong province.
