元朗遊行被拒 改作「行街」Yuen Long March Rejected “Strolling” Instead

數百示威者在元朗警署及元朗大會堂之間，向正在攝影錄的警察，大叫黑警。

元朗周日（21日）發生暴打市民事件，造成45人受傷，有市民發起本周六（27日）遊行「光復元朗」，令鄉事派大為緊張，警方在25日發出反對遊行通知書，列出五點理由反對遊行，當中三項涉地點問題：包括申請人拒改遊行路線、集會位置行人路面狹窄、遊行路線途徑交通主要幹道可能發生危險。

鍾健平申請遊行及上訴均被拒，有網民提出「拆招」，例如辦一人遊行、在遊行路線「行街」、唱聖詩等。目測有過十萬人參加。

元朗區議會主席沈豪傑昨接受查詢時稱，警方向他保證今日會安排足夠人手處理突發事件，且會調動防暴隊戒備，相關部署由總部負責。據了解，警方今日會調配3000警力在元朗「高調執法」，包括五大總區的應變大隊及元朗警區本身的警力，主要會在南邊圍、元朗大馬路及元朗西鐵站一帶「屯兵」。

Hundreds of protesters gathered between the Yuen Long Police Station and the Yuen Long City Hall and shouted at the police who are videoing the protest.

45 people were injured in the mob attack in Yuen Long on 21July. Netizens launched this Saturday (27th) march to “recover Yuen Long”. The villagers were very nervous. The police issued an objection to the march on the 25th. The notice lists five reasons for opposing the procession. Three of the issues related to the location include the applicant’s refusal to change the march route, the pedestrian pavement at the rally location too narrow, and the main route of the march route may be dangerous.

Chung Kin-ping’s application for the march and appeal was rejected. Some netizens proposed “strolling”, or a march for one person, “walking the streets” on the march route, and singing hymns. Over 100,000 participated by estimate.
