June 4 35th anniversary | Police invoke Article 23 to arrest ‘Wong Po-po’ for shouting ‘end one-party rule’ slogans; four arrested throughout the day
六四35|叫「結束一黨專政」等口號 警引 23 條拘王婆婆 全日四人被捕
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the June 4 incident and the first June 4 anniversary since Hong Kong passed the Safeguarding National Security Law (the so-called Article 23). In Causeway Bay, police presence was further increased compared with yesterday. After nightfall, members of the public entering Victoria Park to mourn with electronic candles were stopped and searched by police. Four people were arrested throughout the day, including social activist Wong Po-po Alexandra Wong Fung Yiu, who was arrested by police for allegedly shouting slogans including “Hold those responsible for the massacre accountable; end one-party rule” and “Release the pro-democracy activists,” in connection with offences related to seditious intent under Article 23.
今日是六四事件 35 周年,也是香港通過《維護國家安全法》(即 23條)後的首個六四。在銅鑼灣,警力比昨天再加強。入夜,有市民入維園舉電子燭光悼念,被警方截停搜查。全日共有四人被捕,其中社運人士「王婆婆」王鳳瑤,涉在街上高呼「追究屠城責任,結束一黨專政」、「釋放民運人士」等口號,被警方引用 23 條下的「煽動意圖相關罪行」拘捕。
