民間人權陣線原定計劃今天舉辦「止黑暴 制警亂」遊行，由維園步行到中環遮打道，但是遭警方反對，只允許民陣在維園舉辦集會。民陣表示，預計最少有30萬人參加集會，將會採取流水式人潮管理。集會人士在維園短暫停留之後，就跟從大隊到就近地鐵站離開，不排除走到灣仔站、金鐘站和中環站。
民陣發言人岑子杰批評，特首林鄭月娥呼籲市民和平理性地表達訴求，是一個謊言，「因為警方唔容許一個和平理性嘅遊行」。警方將過百萬人，塞在只能容納約20萬人的維園，是刻意製造混亂，呼籲參加集會的市民「和理非一日」，並保持冷靜及克制，不要跌入某些別有用心人士的圈套。
集會人士排隊進入維園，在黃色暴雨下，附近的街道，包括天后站和銅鑼灣站都「迫爆」，警方在興發街和記利佐治街實施封路，讓集會人士前往維園。
因應港鐵可能關閉維園附近的港鐵站，讓完成集會的人士無法在就近港鐵站離開，民陣已經聯絡了一班非建制派議員，由他們帶領集會人士前往灣仔站、金鐘站，以至中環站，令集會人士可以乘搭港鐵離開。
The Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) originally planned to hold a “Stop Triad and Police Brutality” march today from Victoria Park to Chater Road in Central, but it was opposed by the police. Only a rally in Victoria Park is allowed. CHRF said that at least 300,000 people are expected to participate in the rally and will adopt a “flow control crowd management”. After a short stay in Victoria Park, the participants will follow the crowd to the nearest subway station, as far as Wanchai Station, Admiralty Station and Central Station.
CHRF spokesman Jimmy Sham criticized that the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam’s call on the public to express their demands peacefully and rationally is a lie, “as the police would not approve a peaceful and rational march.” The police tries to squeeze over a million people in the Victoria Park, which can only accommodate about 200,000 people. It is a deliberate act to create confusion. CHRF appeals for “a peaceful, rational and non-violent rally for a day”. Do not fall into a trap with certain ulterior motives.
Massive people lined up to enter Victoria Park, undaunted by amber rainstorm. The nearby streets, including Tin Hau Station and Causeway Bay Station, are flooded. The Police imposed road closures at Hing Fat Street and Great George Street.
In response to the possible closure of the MTR station near Victoria Park by the MTR, people who completed the rally could not leave at the nearest MTR station. The CHRF arranged with pan-Democrat legislators who will lead the exit crowd to Wan Chai Station and Admiralty Station and even to the Central Station, so that they can take the MTR to leave.
