On July 1, an 87-year-old senior was taken away by Hong Kong police officers for hanging a photo of Jesus Christ on his chest and holding a banner scripted with the slogans, “Abolish national security laws, implement human rights conventions, release political prisoners, and may God bless Hong Kong.”

July 1 marks the 26th anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong’s sovereignty, and it is also the fourth consecutive year since 2020 that Hong Kong citizens have failed to apply or obtain permission to hold any mass parades.
