As a result, a large-scale conflict between the police and the people outside the Legislative Council was triggered on June 12th, making the anti-amendment cases unstoppable. Today is the first anniversary of 6.12. Some netizens called on the public to gather in multiple districts tonight. The police issued a warning in the afternoon that the participants may violate the "restriction order" or violate the "Participation of Unauthorized Assemblies" under the "Public Security Ordinance". Once convicted, they can be sentenced to a maximum of 5 years in prison, reiterating that they will enforce the law decisively.
