A Hong Kong women’s group said it received approval from police for a planned rally Sunday, in what would be one of the first authorized marches since mass protests ended in early 2020.
The Hong Kong Women Workers’ Association received a letter of no objection regarding the march for women’s rights, the group said in a statement on social media Thursday. The rally will be a test of the city’s civil liberties following Beijing’s imposition of a national security law, under which dozens of activists have been arrested.
