Protests against massive repatriation legislation took place today afternoon in downtown Hong Kong, raising concerns over China's involvement in the Hong Kong protests against the Criminal India bill.

If the protests end peacefully, China's justification for military intervention may disappear, drawing particular attention to whether peace demonstrations will last until today.

The civil rights front, which led Hong Kong's massive urban protests, held a rally in Victoria Park this afternoon to oppose repatriation laws and to condemn police crackdown.
By 2:00 pm, the time to begin the meeting, a large crowd had already filled Victoria Park, and as time went on, more and more people were gathering.

The Civil Rights Front is a group that led a massive demonstration of 2 million people on the 16th of June, such as a protest against repatriation law involving 1 million Hong Kong citizens on June 9.

The civilian front was originally planning to march from Victoria Park to Central Charter Road, but Hong Kong police say it is feared of violent protests, and if some protesters march, they are concerned.

Hong Kong subway officials say they are concerned about congestion due to the Victoria Park rally and say the trains do not stop at nearby Tin Hau and Causeway Bay stations.

The organizers also stressed that the meeting will be a “fifty meeting,” meaning peace, reason and nonviolence.
