When asked if they were worried that they would be accused of illegal assembly if they appeared near the parade area today, Huang Zhifeng said that "Hong Kong people cannot worry too much". Huang Zhifeng and his followers left the scene by car, but according to his Facebook post, he said that he was being followed again.
