At about 5pm today (August 30), protestors gathered and chanted slogans in a shopping mall on Argyle Street, Mong Kok, which may constitute the offence of “participating in an unauthorised assembly” under the Public Order Ordinance and relevant offences under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation. Some protestors even chanted the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times”, which may breach the National Security Law.

     Police warn the crowd to stop gathering and leave immediately. Members of the public should refrain from taking part in such activities. Police officers may enter the mall to enforce the law resolutely.
