「社會及政治組織從業員工會」今日集會，主題為「反濫捕，抗威權」。集會獲警方發出不反對通知書。晚上7時至10時在遮打花園舉行。
主辦團體指反修例示威以來，警方多次以阻差辦公等理由，暴力對待社會及政治組織工作者，包括議員助理，甚至無理拘捕。他們表示，議助等人出現在衝突現場，不一定有參與衝突，反而是履行職責，如協助議員緩和警民關係，支援被捕者，但警方多次暴力對待甚至拘捕議助。該工會理事長鄭衍祺稱，目前已有3名立法會議員、6名區議員（其中區諾軒同為區議員及立法會議員）及5名議員助理，即合共13人被捕，罪名主要是非法集結、阻差辦公及公眾地方行為不檢。
主辦團體又表示，明白警察只是政府無視龐大民意下的工具，但政府即使以更大警察武力，驅散、拘捕及暴打被捕者，仍不可能驅走市民追逐自由、民主及平等的決心。
集會開始前，參與人士已逼爆遮打花園，部分市民選擇站在終審法院對出一段行人路，人潮更逼出遮打道及皇后像廣場，「反濫捕 抗威權」。
The “Social and Political Organizations Employees’ Association” rally today with the theme of “No Indiscriminate Arrests No Authoritarianism”. The rally was issued a notice of no objection by the police.
The rally is held in Chater Garden between 7 and 10 pm. The organizers pointed out that during the anti-extradition protests, the police brutally attacked members of social and political organisations, including assistants of legislators, and violently arrest them for reasons such as impeding police work. They said that they only try to help people at the scene of the conflict. They do not necessarily participate in the protest. Instead, they were performing their duties. For example, they help to mediate between the police and protesters and provide support to those arrested. However, the police have repeatedly treated them brutally or even arrested them. Cheng Hin-ki, chairman of the Assiciation, said that there are currently 3 legislators, 6 District Councillors and 5 assistants to Councillors, a total of 13 people, arrested, with charges of illegal assembly, obstructing police work, and misconduct in public places.
The organisers also said that the government is ignoring public opinion. However, even if the government increases police force to disperse, arrest and beat thise arrested, it is impossible to drive away the people’s determination to pursue freedom, democracy and equality.
Thousands gathered at Chater Garden on Friday night (Sep 6), in the latest mass protest in the city. The participants flooded Chater Garden. Some chose to stand in the pavement outside the Court of Final Appeal. The crowds overflowed to Chater Road and Statue Square and shouted “No Indiscriminate Arrest. No Authoritianism.”
