As the report says , the march was then mysteriously cancelled …..
Members of a Hong Kong pro-democracy party said police warned them not to attend a women’s rights march before it was abruptly cancelled a night ahead of when it was scheduled to take place
The League of Social Democrats (LSD) said police told four members of the group on Friday that they would be arrested if they joined the march, meant to mark the upcoming International Women’s Day.
The police-approved public event, organised for Sunday by the Hong Kong Women Workers’ Association, was called off on Saturday. The group did not explain the decision behind the last-minute cancellation.
“The LSD is extremely angry that the national security police threatened… [us] on our participation in a legal march,” the LSD – one of the few pro-democracy groups still active in the city – wrote in a statement published on Sunday afternoon.
Addressing reporters, police said it had been notified by organisers of its decision to drop plans for the march after considering “the interest of all parties.”
