Hong Kong July 1 marches 香港"七一"遊行

香港"七一"遊行，是香港民間團體自 2003 年起，在每年7月1日舉行的大型遊行。第一次2003年的主題是反對《香港基本法》第23條的立法，是香港繼1989年5月28日150萬人參加全球華人民主大遊行及19­89年5月21日100萬人冒著八號風球遊行後最大型的一次遊行活動。

The July 1 marches (Chinese: 七一遊行) is a series of marches on July 1 that have been held annually in Hong Kong since 2003. Since 1997 and before 2003, marches were held annually by The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China.

By the end of 2002, the proposed legislation of an anti-subversive law, as required by the Article 23 of the Basic Law, the constitutional document of the territory, sparked off heated debate and opposition. The public was worried civil rights and liberties will be adversely affected. The Civil Human Rights Front was formed by grassroots civil organisations and pro-democracy politicians. A march was held on December 15 from Victoria Park to the Central Government Offices on Hong Kong Island, with a turnout of 65,000. The government attempted to pass Article 23 on July 9, 2003 in Legislative council. As a result of Debate continued for months, with the Government refusing to any concessions. Comments and opinion in the speeches by then Secretary for Security Regina Ip in the Legislative Council and in public debate sessions were, particularly, considered contentious to members of the public.
