Hong Kong Police Accuse Civilians Queueing Up to Enter Courtroom of Breaching the Gathering Ban
1411 | High Court
The hearing of the 47 arrested pro-democracy activists began on Mar 1, 2021 in Hong Kong. On Mar 6, the bail appeal of 11 activists is reviewed.
Citizens queued up outside the court, hoping to get a seat in the court room to show support for the pro-democracy activists who were charged with "conspiracy to subverting state powers" for participating in the primary elections in July 2020.
Over a loudspeaker, the Hong Kong Police, however, accused the citizens of violating the gathering ban (#599G).
The police requested all civilians holding a ticket to line up and have their personal information recorded before entering the court.
In fact, under the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance, people in a queue should be exempted.
Journalists challenged the "standard" police in executing gathering restriction.
