每年7月1日，自2003年起，街頭總現遊行人潮，每次遊行均有數萬至數十萬人參加。去年七一遊行首度被禁，但仍有數千市民自發走上街；今年隨着政治氣氛急轉直下、民陣召集人陳皓桓入獄，民陣18年來首度沒申辦七一遊行。社民連等團體有意承辦遊行，也遭警方發出反對通知書，自國安法實施以來，香港的遊行集會自由，已名存實亡。
民陣遊行大部份都從維園出發，今日警方引用公安條例，中午封閉維園1至6號足球場、中央草坪等範圍，阻止被禁止的公眾集會進行。封閉的範圍與6月4日晚上防上燭光晚會一樣，任何人未經准許之下，進入或逗留維園是違法，有機會被監禁12個月。
今天同時是中國共產黨100周年，早上在北京舉行大規模慶典，香港亦大肆慶祝。
在香港主權移交24周年及中共百周年，理應萬衆歡騰，自前警察李家超升任香港政務司司長，如今武官治港，要部署逾萬警力，並圍封維園，阻止市民和平集會，見證北京和香港政權對人民的無限恐懼。
香港已正式成為一個警察政權 Police State。
On July 1 every year since 2003, there has always been massive protest march on the streets in Hong Kong, with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people. Last year, the July 1 march was banned for the first time, but thousands of citizens still took to the streets spontaneously. This year, as the political atmosphere took a turn for the worse, the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) convener Figo Chan has been imprisoned. For the first time in 18 years, the CHRF did not apply to host the July 1 march. The League of Social Democrats and other groups wished to take over hosting a parade, but the police issued a letter of objection. Since the implementation of the National Security Law, the freedom of assembly in Hong Kong has existed in name only.
Most of the CHRF marches started from Victoria Park. Today, the police sealed off football fields 1 to 6 and the central lawn of Victoria Park at noon, quoting public security regulations, to prevent banned public gatherings. The closed area is the same as that on June 4 to prevent the candlelight vigil. It is illegal for anyone to enter or stay in the Victoria Park without permission which may result in imprisonment for 12 months.
Today is also the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. A large-scale celebration was held in Beijing in the morning, and Hong Kong is also celebrating on a high note.
On the 24th anniversary of Hong Kong’s transfer of sovereignty and the centenary of the Communist Party of China, everyone should be jubilant. Yet, as the former police John Lee has ascended as Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, 10,000 police are deployed, and the Victoria Park Sealed off to prevent peaceful assembly of citizens, exposing Beijing and the Hong Kong regime’s infinite fear of the people.
Hong Kong has officially become a police state.
