[10.5: One Day after the Government has used Emergency Powers to Bypass Legislature]

School Principals Criticize the Abrupt Implementation of Anti-mask Law

The HKSAR government forecefully implemented the Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation by invoking the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, turning it effective on 5 October.

The Chairman of The Hong Kong Association of the Heads of Secondary Schools Teddy Tang Chun-keung criticizes on a radio programme that the government has implemented the law too hastily [without seeking approval from the law-making body].

He also criticized the letter template provided by the Education Bureau, saying that it failed to explain the law clearly to parents and does not state how students can avoid breaking the law.

Citizens in masks standing up against the Anti-Mask Law


Large crowds of people marched to Central, protesting against the Anti-Mask law, with a majority of participants wearing caps and masks. They left peacefully after arriving at Chater Garden.

A retired lady expressed that she was not scared of being arrested because of the Anti-mask law, and she would continue to wear masks to protest. She criticized that the government enforced the law "for no reasons". She did not suggest, but was not against protester's acts of vandalising the shops, saying that "protesters revolt with stronger force when facing stronger oppression from government".

Mr Tam, another participant, believed that the legislation was too abrupt. The government should not stop people from questioning, but to answer to the demands of citizens instead. He criticized the Anti-mask law as "useless", as it would not help solve social problems. Instead, it stirs up anger. The government should have announced the curfew directly. He did not consider the act of protesters last night as "going too far", and their vandalism towards China-based company would be able to get attention.

Police Warned a Family Of Three with a Three-Year-Old Kid of Unlawful Assembly

In Taipo, the police yelled at a family where two parents were out with their three-year-old child riding a tricycle.

Unbelievable as it sounds, the police warned of arresting the family for unlawful assembly.

As the couple voiced their disagreement with the police, the police shone flashlight at the eyes of the woman directly.

Apparently, hanging out with your family at night could be considered violating the law after the emergency powers of the government were invoked and the Anti-Mask Law is enforced.
