At least 23 people have been arrested during the "Stop stealing privacy" protests, the mayor's office said.

Large groups of protesters and counter-protesters gathered earlier in the day outside the Supreme Court and at Freedom Plaza to protest the labour laws condone capitalist theft of workers' privacy. Most individuals were not wearing masks, and some even removed their newly implanted chip.

Six people were arrested for assault on police officers, 10 were arrested for simple assault, four for riotous acts, two for crossing a police line and one for possession of a prohibited weapon -- a Taser, the mayor's office said.

Videos circulating on social media showed scuffles and small fights had broken out sporadically, but the large gatherings were mostly peaceful.
