示威者佔領海濱解放軍用地 後與警方對峙 Protesters Reclaim Harbourfront PLA Site Before Police Standoff

朱凱迪議員帶領數千名示威者,抗議政府將中環海濱土地撥歸解放軍駐香港部隊。

立法會議員朱凱迪帶領數千名示威者,周五晚上10點左右和平抗議政府將中環海濱面積0.3公頃150米長的土地,撥歸中國人民解放軍駐香港部隊,作軍用碼頭之用。

該地區被指定為解放軍駐軍的碼頭,於6月29日凌晨零時正式生效前幾分鐘,朱凱迪和一小群抗議者越過了圍欄,在海邊圍欄掛上「還我海濱,反對割地」大横幅。 抗議者還將紙飛機扔進場地。

午夜後防暴警察帶着警棍和盾牌抵達,清除了距離解放軍基地約200米場地的示威者和記者,但沒有逮捕他們。雙方在圍欄兩邊對峙,凌晨1點左右,右示威者和平散去。

Thousands led by Legislator Eddie Chu protested peacefully  against government’s move to give 0.3-hectare 150-metre-long strip of land on the Central harbourfront to the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) garrison around 10 pm Friday night.

Chu and a small group of protesters crossed over into the fenced-off site just minutes before the area was designated a dock of the garrison at midnight. Large banners with “Return the waterfront to us!” and “Against cessation of land” were tied to the railing on the harbourfront. Protesters also threw paper planes into the site.

Riot police arrived with batons and shields, clearing the protesters and journalists from the site, about 200 metres from a PLA base, but made no arrests. Standoff ensued across the fence until around 1 am this morning when protesters dispersed peacefully.
