Last updated: 2020-01-02 07:00The New Year's Day Parade of the Civil Human Rights Front is the first parade in 2020. The city's attention is regarded as an indicator of the rise and fall of violent demonstrations. Of course, the democrats have vigorously publicized it, and the police are also highly alert to change the battle. At all times, the police "actively attacked" at least three times in an attempt to dominate the offensive and defensive rhythm throughout the day.
1. Sudden demand to dissolve the parade in disguise to dispel most of the crowd
It is not the first time that police have slashed a parade. For example, in recent months, they have called for the termination and dissolution of the rallies on September 8 and November 2. However, it is rare in recent years to require a large-scale parade to be dissolved midway. Moreover, the police seem to have already deployed it. In advance, if there is a violent incident on the New Year's Day procession, the procession may be terminated and disbanded. Soon after the incident that disrupted the store today, the police asked the FDC to dissolve the procession.

2. Encroach on Causeway Bay demonstrators and hit more than a hundred demonstrators in one go
After the police demanded that the RDF dissolve the procession, more "Holiday" protesters left to avoid being involved in the street fierce clashes, but there were also many demonstrators staying in Central, Wan Chai, Fortress Hill and Causeway Bay, especially in Causeway Bay. . In the evening, the police suddenly attacked, and seized on Percival Street and Yee Wo Street in Causeway Bay, and quickly pushed forward. The demonstrators on Hennessy Road in the middle section "smashed all the nets" and intercepted all the demonstrators. This tactic was rare in the past.
The police also surrounded the reporters during the encroachment and lined up their ID cards. Police then drove a number of vehicles to block reporters' eyes.
This operation started at 8 o'clock. About 100 demonstrators were intercepted in one go. All of them had to squat on the ground and hold their heads, or raised their hands against the wall to wait. The protesters on a large section of Hennessy Road were full. A police car was taken away.
3. Rarely released statistics before the FDC
The FDC organized a large parade, and the number of people participating in the procession was one of the focal points. In the past, the number of people participating in the parade was first announced by the FDC and then announced by the police. However, this time the police rarely announced the number of police statistics before the FDC. .
Some politicians said that as of 5:15 pm yesterday, 47,560 people had departed from Victoria Park. At that time, there were still about 13,000 people in Victoria Park, which exceeded the total of 1.03 million announced by the FDC; the police said: The "grabbing of brakes" announced a very low number, hoping that the society would be "pre-emptive" and deepen its doubts about the FDC statistics.
