A pro-democracy activist is detained by the police during a confrontation outside the hotel where China's National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee Deputy General Secretary Li Fei is staying, in Hong Kong September 1, 2014. NPC Standing Committee set the stage for a political showdown on Sunday when it rejected democrats' demands for the right to freely choose Hong Kong's next leader in 2017, leading scores of protesters to take to the streets. Scuffles broke out on Monday during a tense stand-off at the entrance to where Li was explaining Beijing's decision, prompting police to use pepper spray amid chaotic scenes inside and outside the venue.
