兩前職工盟成員個人名義申五一遊行 不接受掛號碼牌
May Day labour march plans have made further progress as public procession activities have returned to “normal” in recent months. Former HKCTU chair Joe Wong and officer To Chun-ho said on social media that they had filed an application on Sunday (9th) in their personal capacities to hold a May Day march. To Chun-ho told Independent Media that the application was for a 3pm march from Victoria Park in Causeway Bay to Government Headquarters in Admiralty, with no more than 500 participants. Regarding the strict restrictions imposed on several earlier marches, he said he currently leaned towards not accepting numbered tags. He was not worried that the march would be hijacked by “violent groups”, and said that if a Letter of No Objection was not issued, they would consider appealing to the Public Meetings and Processions Appeals Board.
遊行活動近月「復常」,五一勞動節遊行今日亦有最新進展,前職工盟主席黃迺元及幹事杜振豪在社交媒體表示,已於周日(9日)以個人名義入紙申請舉辦五一遊行。杜振豪回覆《獨媒》指,已申請下午3時舉行遊行,由銅鑼灣維園行至金鐘政府總部,人數不多於500人。對於早前多個遊行均有嚴格限制,他坦言現時傾向不接受掛號碼牌,並不擔心遊行會被「暴力團伙」騎劫,又指如不獲發不反對通知書,將考慮上訴至公眾集會及遊行上訴委員會。

勞聯申4.29太子遊行 林振昇稱擔心被騎劫、可受警方限制
Local marches have "returned to normal" in recent months, and whether there will be a May Day march this year is also a matter of concern. Lam Chun-sing, chairman of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council, acknowledged that it had applied to police to hold a march from Prince Edward to Mong Kok on 29 April and was awaiting their reply. Regarding the strict restrictions imposed by police on several earlier marches, Lam said he was most concerned that the event could be hijacked. He said it was possible to "give it a try initially", but if it was later shown that no one had hijacked the event, or that police had ensured a safe environment, restrictions should be gradually relaxed.
本地遊行活動近月「復常」,今年是否會有五一遊行亦是關注之一。港九勞工社團聯會(勞聯)主席林振昇承認已向警方申請4月29日在太子遊行至旺角,正等待警方回覆。對於早前多個遊行均被警方嚴格限制,林振昇指最擔心遊行活動被騎劫,認為「初時都可以試下」,但如日後證明原來無人騎劫,或警方已確保環境安全,就應該逐步放寬限制。

【頸牌遊行】申請人指極侮辱如「猶太人戴臂章」 部分居民不屑參與
Residents of Tseung Kwan O opposed reclamation in the district and held a march and rally yesterday, but police imposed a number of requirements, including wearing neck tags and walking within a cordon. Participants were filmed by police throughout the route. The march applicant Cyrus Chan Chin Chun said on a radio programme this morning that wearing the neck tags was extremely insulting, comparing it to “Jews wearing armbands”. He also disclosed that Tseung Kwan O Police District had initially approved the use of stickers for identification, but senior officers later ordered all participants to wear tags. He said he had only the options of “accepting” or “not accepting” the arrangement, with no room for negotiation, and agreed because he wanted to respect residents’ wish to voice their views. He said the march was a piece of performance art highlighting the absurdity of Hong Kong today.

陳寶瑩:「壓力下」權衡利弊不參與遊行 國安警約談稱「為你哋好」
The Hong Kong Women Workers’ Association had planned to hold a march yesterday to fight for women’s rights, but suddenly announced its cancellation the previous evening. Police said the organisers had “weighed the pros and cons and decided”. The League of Social Democrats said in a statement yesterday that four members had been “invited to meetings” by officers from the National Security Department beforehand and warned not to join the march, or they would be arrested immediately. The League said it was deeply angered. Its chairwoman Chan Po-ying said on a radio programme this morning that the League had originally only wanted to participate, without speaking or submitting a letter, and did not consider itself the “violent gang” referred to by police. She said helplessly that the decision not to participate was ultimately also a matter of weighing the pros and cons, “but under pressure”.
香港婦女勞工協會原定昨日舉行遊行爭取婦女權益,惟前一晚突然宣告取消,警方稱主辦方「權衡利弊決定」。社民連昨發聲明指,4名成員事前遭國安處警員「約見」,警告不得參與遊行,違者即拉,社民連對事深感憤怒。主席陳寶瑩今早在電台表示,社民連本來只想單純參與,不會發言也不遞信,不認為組織是警方所指「暴力團伙」。她無奈表示最終取消參與,也是權衡利弊,「不過係壓力下」。

社民連稱曾遭國安警告 若參加女工會遊行將被捕
The Hong Kong Women Workers’ Association had been scheduled to hold a Women’s Day march today, but suddenly announced its cancellation last night. Police said the reason was to “balance the pros and cons for all parties”, and said they had found that “violent groups” intended to respond to the event. The League of Social Democrats said in a statement that four of its members had been questioned by national security police on Friday (the 3rd), who warned them not to take part in the march and that they would be arrested if they insisted on attending.
