Heavy presence of police force is sighted around the city to stamp out any possible pro-democracy activities on the National Day.

At Cross-Harbor Tunnel, one of the busiest route connecting Kowloon peninsula and Hong Kong island, police set up interception point to stop and search cars coming from the Kowloon side. It was reportedly a tactic police force used to discourage citizens from heeding netizens call to attend a rally on the island-side.

The force had earlier rejected an application by the Civil Human Rights Front to hold a rally on Hong Kong Island, citing health and security concerns, along with the ban on public gatherings of more than four people.

HKJA Sends Observer to Inspect Police's Treatment towards Press

1430 | #CausewayBay #CWB
Today, the Hong Kong Journalists Association (#HKJA) sent Bruce Lui, Senior Lecturer of the Hong Kong Baptist University and independent columnist, as observer to inspect and record whether journalists would receive more unfair treatment after the shift in General Orders.

Bruce Lui told the press that as no large crashes had happened so far, he was not able to observe how the police treat the press. He pointed out HKJA will also take note of whether the police had provided adequate space for interviews. He also mentioned he would notice the safety of student journalists from HKBU reporting the scene. “But after the change in general orders, student reporters may have to bear legal consequences, including being charged with unlawful assembly or the gathering ban.” He castigated the police, "this is not reasonable.”
