Police say the dock protestors’ blockade of Kwai Chung container terminal today is regrettable, and they will follow up on legal liabilities of those concerned.

Protestors conducted a public procession by occupying the lanes of Container Port Road South in Kwai Chung today, without giving prior notice to Police.

They walked slowly and stopped at intervals, obstructing the road, paralysing traffic and affecting the safety of others.

Despite repeated appeals and warnings, the protestors refused to cooperate with Police.

The protestors have been conducting public events outside the Kwai Chung Container Terminal and in Central since March 28.

Police respect people’s rights of expression, freedom of speech and assembly, and appeal to the protestors to abide by the law and express their views in a peaceful and rational manner.
