LGBT Pride Parade banned first time in 10 years
Every year, the Hong Kong Pride Parade Organizing Committee would organize LGBT marches in Hong Kong Island during the end of the year. Same as the last 9 years, the parade is proposed to take the same route and same regulation from Victoria Park to Edinburgh Square, where an assembly would be held.
However, the parade was banned this year for no reason, causing an outcry from the committee and the LGBT community. Committee members said even though they submitted the proposal in April, the Police Force didn’t give their reply until Mid-October.
And when they asked them for suggestions for the parade in order to ensure that the march can still be held, the Police Force gave vague and indirect answers.
The committee condemned the force for their attitude and neglection of the basic human right for assembly.
