1989年11月17日捷克斯洛伐克爆發「天鵝絨革命」，成功轉型走上民主道路，今年是天鵝絨革命及推倒柏林圍牆30周年，網民在中環愛丁堡廣場舉行「東歐巨變30周年」集會，砌出昔日柏林圍牆，並計劃在晚上9時20分將巨牆推倒，象徵推倒極權暴政鐵幕。集會已有警方不反對通知書。
約50名市民自2時起在中環愛丁堡廣場以紙皮箱自製一幅高牆，約4時完成，高牆約長50米乘2米高，市民並在紙皮貼上大量文宣。集會統籌組指，早前活房眾籌到25,000元，購買了155個紙皮箱，象徵當年長度約155公里的柏林圍牆，牆上一幅習近平與林鄭月娥擁吻圖，也象徵社會主義領導人與傀儡親吻，坦言「嘔心得嚟好貼切。」
晚上 7 時集會，數千人逼滿愛丁堡廣場，大會邀請嘉賓發言。並計劃在9:20推倒「紙皮牆」，像徴推倒極權暴政的鐵幕。
On 17 November, the 30th anniversary of the revolutions in Eastern Europe, Hong Kong protesters rally in Edinburgh Square in Central to commemorate the symbolic year of the fall of the Communist governments in Eastern European countries of 1989, reaffirming the demands of the people of Hong Kong. Police have issued a letter of no objection for the event.
A week before the rally, cardboards were collected and art works were collected on the spot to build a “cardboard wall” at Edinburgh Square at 2-5 pm.
At 7 pm, thousands crowded Edinburgh Place and guests were invited to speak on stage. At 9:20 pm, the “cardboard wall” was fallen, symbolising the fall of iron curtain of the totalitarian regimes.
