      The last protest organized by the CHRF in Hong Kong, on August 18, drew many hundreds of thousands of people (organizers say 1.7M) to a completely peacefully rally and march with no police in sight. Now HK police have banned a subsequent march on the grounds of risk to the public

      This guarantees that what could have been a massive legal assembly tomorrow will be a massive illegal assembly, which carries a potential 10 year jail sentence to participants if police deem it a "riot". This profoundly cynical act by the police endangers the people of Hong Kong

      My understanding is that this onerous riot law, along with the system of colored flags police use to warn protesters when they will shoot at them, is a relic of British colonial rule. It could have been repealed before the handover, but Britain is never thoughtful when leaving

          Old joke: KISSINGER: In America, we have freedom of assembly. Any citizen can stand outside the White House and protest U.S. involvement in Vietnam. BREZHNEV: We also have this freedom here. Any Soviet citizen can stand outside the Kremlin and protest U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

          It was substantially repealed in 1995. The first SAR government re-instated it almost immediately after the handover in 1997.

          The backgd is complicated. British didn't expect China's determined to take back HK until the vy famous Thatcher "trip over". after 8964, British govt realised they had to promote democracy in HK, at least to protect their interests here after 1997. 1/

          Chris Pattern was therefor sent to be the last govneror, he wasn't China favourite choice. Pattern immediately pushed a radical Electoral Reform which totally enraged China. The rest u could check online.
