[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."

Earlier today, practitioners of the social welfare sector marched from the Southorn Playground to the Central Government Offices in black with balloon props, sending a message of “passing the buck back to Carrie Lam”. The march is co-organised by the Reclaiming Social Work Movement, the offices of Hon SHIU Ka-chun and Dr Hon Fernando CHEUNG Chiu-hung, the Social Welfare Organizations Employees Union and the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union. A cardboard of Hon SHIU Ka-Chun, who is currently in jail, is seen among the marchers.

#Wikipedia wars: How Hongkongers and mainland Chinese are battling to set the #narrative
//Wikipedia now hosts over one million articles in its Chinese edition alone. Entries can be written and edited by any internet user as long as these are supported by reliable news sources, although no original research is allowed.
Wikipedia volunteers in Hong Kong say they face increasing problems finding a diverse range of reliable media sources to cite....
Their mainland counterparts are pushing for the use of Chinese state media as reliable news sources to channel their version of events.
Hong Kong users also fear that it will become harder for them to get elected as administrators on Wikipedia – a role which gives them power to adjudicate on editing decisions and invoke the website’s guiding rules and principles – because the Chinese version of the website is dominated by mainland users.
A Chinese Wikipedia article about the Yuen Long MTR mob attack in July 2019 had recorded a whopping 1,912 edits as of July 8, with 473 media sources cited in footnotes.
As Apple Daily closed last month, some users attempted to purge Wikipedia of news outlets deemed pro-democracy. One user named “Walter Grassroot” started removing Apple Daily news links in articles en masse, hours before the newspaper’s official shutdown on June 23.
In his user history, Walter Grassroot left a comment supportive of another user MINQI, who appeared sympathetic to pro-China viewpoints, saying: “People supporting Taiwan, Hong Kong, Manchu and Falun Gong independence exist because of financial support in the background” and they must set up a foundation for efficient “large scale clean-ups” of articles in the future...
Screenshots that surfaced on Wednesday showed users on the Chinese QQ messaging app for mainland Wikipedia editors discussing reporting their Hong Kong peers to the city’s national security police hotline.
“We should report those from the Hong Kong user group,” a QQ user under the handle “Walter Grassroot” wrote after another user posted an image of the hotline’s details. “Nice idea,” another replied...//
