[HK Police restrict Sunday’s anti-extradition law rally over fears of ‘violent acts’, as gov’t HQ on security lockdown, Hong Kong Free Press, 19-7-2019]
#news #rally #hkpolice
"The Hong Kong police have demanded that Sunday’s Civil Human Rights Front march be cut short, to prevent “violent acts” and a potential storming of government headquarters.
The anti-extradition law rally at 3pm will call for an independent commission of inquiry into recent demonstrations and the police use of force. In their earlier proposal to police, the Front suggested protesters would march from Victoria Park in Causeway Bay to the Court of Final Appeal in Central.
But the police denied the plan in a letter of no objection issued on Friday afternoon. They demanded the march end at Luard Road in Wan Chai – a much shorter route – on the basis of public safety and public order."

Over 45k Citizens Attend “Sparking the Free World Afire” Rally - Edinburgh Place, Central
1930 | Central
The “Sparking the Free World Afire” Rally was held at 1900 at Edinburgh Place, Central today (23 Dec 19), with the venue crowded with participants.
The first highlight of the evening was Duncan Ho, founder of Spark Alliance Hong Kong. He stressed, “First, all countries that are being suppressed by the Chinese Government could pass the Hong Kong Be Water Act; second, the Chinese corporation should not be allowed to sell stocks in foreign countries; third, stop the Chinese corporation being listed companies in foreign countries so that the Chinese Government would not be able to cheat money from these countries.”
Ventus Lau, convener of the Community Network Union, then thanked his team for arranging three events in a row, which he stated were not easy. He then condemned the riot police who ran into “Human Rights Rally of Solidarity with the Uyghurs” held yesterday and pointed a gun to a civilian who was holding a poster.
Followed by Ventus Lau was Nathaniel Lau, president of the Assistant Fund for Protestors of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. He shared his stories of setting up the fund. He stressed, “I hope that we could turn the slogans into actions and that Spark Alliance would continue to be supported.”
Next, Kat Ho, Director of Hong Kong Accounting Alliance Profession talked about the HSBC money laundering isssue and the process of laundering money.
Chairman of the Financial Industry Employees General Union Easy Kwok Ka-wing said that seeing even HSBC had been controlled by the CCP, other banks could also be controlled by the CCP. He urged that all people in the financial sector should be united in the movement.
People cheered with the speakers with “Stand with Hong Kong, Fight for Freedom”, “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”, “Five Demands, Not One Less”.

#CathayPacific Staff Rally Against Sacking and Unfair Treatment Objected by Hong Kong Police
After sacking 5,300 Hong Kong-based staff members, Cathay Pacific demands its remaining employees to change to a new contract or face sacking.
Earlier, Cathay Pacific flight attendants' union has informed the police and applied for a rally permission at Cathay City on November 4. Two days before the rally, the police rejected the request.
The union criticized Cathay Pacific for mistreating their staff by firing them and cutting their salary. Communication with the management has been problematic and there are a lot of unsolved issues with the new contract. Many employees regretted signing it.
Although the rally has been rejected by the police, the union will find alternative ways to voice their opinion.
Since several pro-democracy rallies took place at the airport in August and September 2019, the Hong Kong Airport Authority has obtained an injunction order from the court, barring anyone who are not staff, nor passengers with a boarding pass from entering the Hong Kong airport.
