In Hong Kong, where protests continue, a large rally will be held again on the afternoon of the 18th at the call of democratic organizations. The police do not allow demonstrations this time, but there is also concern that participants will start demonstrations without permission and develop a clash with the police.
In Hong Kong, protests have been ongoing for more than two months over a draft amendment to allow the suspects to be handed over to mainland China.
Under these circumstances, from the afternoon of the 18th, a democratic group called for a large-scale rally in the central park protesting the response to the Hong Kong government and the police, and preparations for the rally are proceeding around the venue. The
The group has hosted a demonstration march twice in June, with over 1 million people participating, but the police are not admitting the march this time.
A 32-year-old man attending the rally said, “It ’s strange that the police are controlling Hong Kong ’s freedom of demonstrations. If the Hong Kong government responds to citizens’ demands, the situation will develop. I didn't. "
Police officers are placed around the venue and it is expected to strengthen the vigilance so that protests will not become radical, but after the rally, participants will start a demonstration march without permission and may develop into a clash with the police I am concerned.
On the other hand, in Guangdong Province, China, adjacent to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, where armed police under the command of the Chinese army are gathering, it seems that there is an aim to control the spread of protests.
