警隊鎮壓示威期間濫暴濫捕，引來社會強烈反感。一群熱愛香港的醫療專職人士，今晚於中環遮打公園集會，控訴警暴。
發起今晚集會的醫護專職人士發表了一封「醫護專職致香港人書」，內文指出，反送中運動至今已四個多月，政府對市民訴求充耳不聞，更訂立蒙面法，令社會撕裂到萬劫不復境地，警方對市民所使用的不對等暴力，不但沒有收斂，更每每欲致市民於死地。作為於第一線守護市民生命的醫者，他們責無旁貸。
醫護專職人士指，警方濫權濫捕及對《醫院管理局附例》視若無睹為的行為，已到令人髮指的地步，由孕婦被捕後有男警於產房看守、14歲男童遭警員開槍擊中後，大批防暴警員全副武裝，持槍於醫院內守候，更阻撓病人及職員通過等事件可見一斑。有警員阻礙人道救援，濫捕前線醫護急救員。一眾醫護專職人員強烈譴責警方濫權、濫暴、罔顧法紀、阻礙義務救援人員於示威現場為任何人士進行人道急救服務等行為，所以發起集會抗議。
晚上6時，參與人士已逼爆遮打花園，部分市民只有站在終審法院對出一段行人路，高叫「香港人，反抗」。有人掛上「追究暴警 港人所願」巨型直幡，有人高舉「光復香港」（Free HK）光牌。
“Police Imperils People’s Lives” Healthcarers Protest Police Brutality Flooding Chater
Police brutality has been a core grievance for Hong Kong’s protesters, whose fury has been sustained by a regular barrage of social media clips showing officers carrying out violent and indiscriminate arrests, resulting in strong social resentment. A group of medical professionals who love Hong Kong gathered at the Chater Park in Central this evening to condemn police brutality.
The healthcare professional who initiated the rally published a “Letter to Hong Kong People from Healthcare Professionals”. The letter pointed out that after 4 months of anti-extradition movement, the government has turned a deaf ear to the public’s demands and invoked a mask ban that creates a devastating division in the society. The police uses excessive violence on the public and imperils people’s lives. As medical professionals who safeguard the lives of the citizens on the front line, they are duty-bound to speak out.
The healthcare professionals condemn the abuse of power and indiscriminate arrest by the police, ignoring the Hospital Authority Bylaws have reached an unacceptable level. After a pregnant woman was arrested, a male police officer guarded and entered the delivery room. After a 14-year-old boy was shot with live bullet and arrested, a large number of riot police in full gear toted guns in the hospital, and hindered the patients and staff from access. Some police officers have blocked humanitarian rescue and arrested frontline medical and first aid workers. They strongly condemned the police for abuse of power, violence, flaunting laws and regulations, and obstructed volunteers to conduct humanitarian emergency services for victims at the protest site.
At 6 pm, people flooded Chater Garden in Central. Some people could only stood on the pavement outside the Court of Final Appeal and chanted “Hong Kong people, Resist”. A huge banner “Investigate police brutality, Desire of Hong Kong people”, A light panel “Free HK” was hoisted.
