香港外國記者會的成員於上午9:30在會大樓外舉行了一場無聲抗議，其主旨是「堅決保衛新聞自由，不容暴力對待記者」。
外國記者會強烈譴責最近導致包括記者在內的數十人受傷的暴力事件，並呼籲警方和當局緊急查找並將在元朗進行前所未有的暴民暴力事件的人繩之於法。
外國記者會明確表示支持香港人有權舉行和平抗議，並且記者可以在沒有當局的恐嚇或暴力的情況下報道此類示威活動。
外國記者會再次呼籲對自6月份抗議活動開始以來，警方針對記者的各種形式的暴力和恐嚇進行獨立，徹底和透明的調查。

The FCC strongly condemns the latest violence that injured dozens of people, including journalists, and calls on the police and authorities to urgently find and bring to justice those who carried out the unprecedented mob violence at Yuen Long.
The FCC expresses its unequivocal support for Hong Kong people the right to hold peaceful protests and for journalists to cover such demonstrations free of intimidation or violence by authorities.
