警方:女工會平衡各方利弊取消遊行 警告到場者或屬未經批准集結
The Hong Kong Women Workers’ Association had planned to hold a Women’s Day march on Sunday (the 5th) and had been issued a notice of no objection by police. However, the association told the media on Saturday night that, regrettably, it had decided to cancel the action, without giving a reason. Police said the organiser had made the decision after weighing the pros and cons for all sides, and would not comment on the reason behind it. They also said the notice of no objection was no longer valid, and that if people still gathered at the relevant location tomorrow, they might commit the offence of unauthorised assembly.

保護海港協會反對修訂《保護海港條例》 批政府「自己起牆綁手」
The Government intends to amend the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance to relax the requirement for an "overriding public need", allowing works within the harbour to build landing steps, piers and pedestrian decks. The Society for Protection of the Harbour held a press conference today to express its opposition to the amendments, saying the existing Ordinance had not obstructed any projects involving the public interest. It also criticised Development Secretary Bernadette Linn for the examples cited in her blog, saying she had not explained why the projects could not proceed, and described the Government as merely "building a wall and tying its own hands".
政府有意修訂《保護海港條例》,放寬「凌駕性公眾需要」,容許在海港範圍內的工程興建登岸堤階、碼頭、行人板道。保護海港協會今召開記者會,表明反對修例,稱現行《條例》沒有阻礙任何關乎公眾利益的項目,又批評發展局局長甯漢豪在網誌舉出的多個項目例子,但都沒有說明未能推進的原因,形容政府只是「自己起牆綁手」。

The Democratic Party was scheduled to hold a spring banquet dinner tonight (February 21) at Ming Men Banquet Restaurant in Kwai Fong, but the restaurant suddenly notified the party in the afternoon that it could not provide the venue because of “urgent works”. This was the second time the party’s event had been cancelled at short notice before it was held. The “reason” given by ClubONE for the previous cancellation, on July 16, 2022, was that a confirmed case nearby required the venue to close for cleaning.

撤限聚令後首現遊行 7人抗議油塘混凝土廠無牌營運 30警隨行
A concrete plant on Tung Yuen Street in Yau Tong was previously found to be operating improperly, polluting the air and disturbing nearby residents. Despite being refused licence renewal three times, it has continued to operate. A resident-organised march called on the relevant departments to order the plant to stop operating immediately. It was the first march since the lifting of gathering restrictions, with seven people taking part and 30 police officers on standby. The organiser said they hoped to “bring the city’s social movement back again”.
