HK Authorities Use All Means to Prevent Pro-democracy Protests on CCP Centenary Anniversary
July 1, 2021 marks the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR 24 years ago and that of the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) 100 years ago.
While July 1 is also a day where large-scale pro-democracy demonstrations are held every year since the handover, the Hong Kong authorities have been using different means to curb protests in the territory. According to the government, 10,000 police officers would be deployed in Hong Kong.
Not only did the police cordon off the entire Victoria Park, hundreds of uniformed polices surrounded and searched passersby in Causeway Bay.
Besides recording the faces of the passersby, the police hoisted a yellow flag warning of the civilians in the shoppers' area that they might have violated the law.
Police also blocked almost all the exits of Fashion Walk, a high-end shopling mall at Paterson Street. The police also entered the mall, intimidating civilians.

Members of Student Politicism arrested when setting up street booth
#StudentPoliticism, a local organisation, first planned to set up a street booth in Causeway Bay. However, due to heavy police deployment and the cordon lines, the organisation had to relocate the booth in Mongkok.
Members of the organisation prepared leaflets to be distributed, but were surrounded by a large group of police. The police demanded all citizens on site to leave, otherwise they would be fined for violation of the 599G gathering ban.
At around 1700, three core members of Student Politicism and one volunteer were arrested, including the convenor #WongYatChin.

"Hong Kong is Safe, but Victoria Park is Dangerous": Civilians Can't Do Sport in Park after Police Shutdown
After June 4, 2021, Hong Kong Police shut down Victoria Park again on July 1, the second time this year.
Mr. Tang and Mr. Chan had been playing basketball since 10am on the public holiday. They had planned to play until the afternoon, but their game was cut short by the police.
Tang said it ruined his day; not only could he not attend the now-banned annual July 1 march, he couldn't even play basketball. "I never thought they're [the authorities] really this scared."
"Victoria Park must have a bomb; it's a place of traitors!" Chan chimed in, "Hong Kong is very safe; Victoria Park is very dangerous!"
When asked if he thought closing the park was reasonable, he answered: "Under #NationalSecurityLaw, every ****ing thing is reasonable!"
"Without that law, Hong Kong would have turned into Iraq!" he added mockingly.
Mr. Wong from nearby North Point had been taking his usual walk in the park, and was caught off guard when the police suddenly cleared out citizens. In his eyes, he said, Hongkongers had always been "very peaceful, very rational", and the authorities needed not to be on guard like this. "They should let us relax; they don't need to be so nervous, especially on a holiday like this."
He lamented that the scenes of stunning crowds in past years can no longer be seen at the park: "It's gone for good." He said the National Security Law had strangled the citizen's voice overnight, taking away opportunities to speak up such as the rituals of the annual July 1 march. "It's a pity. It's a pity."
