Police Encircle Pandemic Prevention Booth Run by Pro-democracy Activist

Pro-democracy activist Tam Tak-chi set up a booth on the street of Kowloon Bay on July 20 to help raise citizens' awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At around 7pm, over 20 uniform police of the PTU arrived at the scene, claiming that the gathering ban (Cap.599G) might have been violated.

After the police left, Tam chanted "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times", a popular protest slogan perceived by the government as a suggestion of independence. The police then returned to raise the purple flag, warning of the possible infringement of the National Security Law. The police behaviour had agitated the civilians waiting at the bus stop.
