2024年9月28日,是香港「雨傘運動」爆發十週年。十年前,香港民主派支持者為了爭取一個沒有篩選機制的普選制度,佔領政府總部外的道路,揭開為期79天的佔領運動。

在抗議活動中,金鐘、銅鑼灣和旺角的主要地區被佔領,示威者搭起帳篷並設置路障,2014年9月28日,香港警方在金鐘夏慤道對示威者進行大規模驅散行動,施放自1997年主權移交後的首發催淚彈。

這場運動為香港的公民社會帶來了重大翻轉,激發了年輕人的民主意識與參與政治活動的熱情,但亦加劇了社會群體的分裂,也未換來政府的讓步。

12月15日,警方完全清理了所有的示威營地後,這場運動正式落幕。

Amnesty International Recognizes Three Activists as Prisoners of Conscience

Amnesty International has designated three human rights defenders—Chow Hang-tung, Ding Jiaxi, and Jimmy Lai—as prisoners of conscience. They are imprisoned solely for their peaceful activism.

#ChowHangtung: Jailed for a vigil honoring Tiananmen victims; facing 10 years for “inciting subversion” under the National Security Law.

#Ding Jiaxi: Sentenced to 12 years for “subverting state power” after attending a discussion on current affairs, enduring torture during detention.

#JimmyLai: Media advocate facing life imprisonment for "colluding with foreign forces" under the National Security Law; already serving multiple sentences for peaceful protests.

Sarah Brooks from Amnesty highlights the Chinese government's ongoing repression of dissent. We call for the immediate release of these activists!

英國國會跨黨派香港小組重新成立

由港人倡議組織「重光團隊」支持的英國國會跨黨派香港小組(APPG on Hong Kong)於本周二(15日)正式重新成立,並啟動新一屆會期的首個倡議工作。小組將聚焦於中國持續侵蝕英國大學的學術自由,特別是中共操控的孔子學院對中國學生攻擊港人示威的情況。

一起支持學術自由,抵制任何形式的政治壓迫!✊✨

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hong Kong Reestablished

Supported by the "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong" group, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hong Kong (APPG on Hong Kong) officially reestablished on Tuesday (15th) and launched its first initiative for the new session. The group will focus on the ongoing erosion of academic freedom in UK universities by China, particularly addressing the situation of Confucius Institutes targeting Hong Kong activists.

Let’s stand together for academic freedom and resist any form of political oppression! ✊✨
黎智英控告《大公報》誹謗案最新進展

壹傳媒創辦人黎智英於2020年向高等法院入稟,控告《大公報》發布誹謗文章,稱其欲棄保潛逃。黎智英要求禁制該報誹謗、道歉及賠償。然而,黎方申請設陪審團的要求被法官駁回,理由是案件涉及複雜的法律及事實議題,並不適合由陪審團處理。

法官指出,主審法官可先閱讀相關文件,進一步考慮雙方陳詞,從而縮短審訊時間。黎智英還需向《大公報》支付30萬元訟費。

這樣的判決顯示,為了達到想要的結果,法院在與黎智英相關的案件中不會使用陪審團。

Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Media, filed a defamation lawsuit against Ta Kung Pao in 2020 over an article alleging he intended to abscond. Lai sought a court order to prohibit the defamation, as well as an apology and damages. However, his request for a jury trial was denied by the judge, citing the case's complex legal and factual issues.

The judge noted that the presiding judge could review the documents in advance, allowing for a more efficient trial process. Lai is also required to pay HK$300,000 in legal costs to Ta Kung Pao.

This ruling indicates that to achieve the desired outcome, the court will not use a jury in any cases related to Jimmy Lai.

反修例事件中的重大進展

2019年11月17日,警方開始圍封理大校園,隨後發生多起警民衝突,最終213人被捕。這些被捕者於11月20日分別在多間法院提堂,所有人均被控暴動罪。案件歷時近5年,最終200人被定罪,其中189人被判監禁,11名青年入教導所。

值得注意的是,只有5名被告有明確證據顯示法官基於政治立場進行懲罰,並展現出威嚇的行為。這宗案件不僅影響了被告的生活,也引發了對香港法治和言論自由的廣泛關注。


Major Developments in the Anti-Extradition Movement

Nov17, 19, police began to surround the PolyU campus, leading to multiple clashes between police and civilians, resulting in the arrest of 213 people. These individuals were presented in various courts on November 20, all charged with rioting. The case lasted nearly 5 years, ultimately resulting in 200 convictions, with 189 sentenced to imprisonment and 11 youths sent to rehabilitation centers.

Only 5 defendants had clear evidence showing that judges were punishing individuals based on political standpoints and demonstrating intimidation. This case has not only affected the lives of the defendants but has also sparked widespread concern over the rule of law and freedom of expression in Hong Kong.

David Lammy出訪中國,將關注黎智英案件?

外務大臣大衛·蘭米(David Lammy)訪問中國,外界猜測他會「提出」黎智英的案件。黎智英,作為英國公民,自四年前在香港入獄以來尚未完成多次審判。儘管外務部要求對其進行領事訪問,中國以不承認雙重國籍為由拒絕,違反1997年英中協議。

黎智英因涉嫌違反國安法等罪名被捕,現年76歲的他在單獨監禁中健康惡化。最近,香港法院的上訴小組拒絕了他的上訴,認為其待遇不違反基本人權,這反映出香港司法系統在中國共產黨的壓力下運作。

如同香港自由委員會所言,蘭米應把握機會成為真正的國家元首,呼籲國際社會關注此事!

David Lammy's Visit to China: Will He Address Jimmy Lai's Case?

As Foreign Secretary David Lammy visits China, speculation grows about whether he will 'raise' Jimmy Lai's case. Lai, a British citizen, has been imprisoned in Hong Kong for four years without completing his trials. The Foreign Office's request for consular access was denied by China, citing non-recognition of dual citizenship, violating the 1997 Anglo-Hong Kong Agreement.

Lai faces charges under the National Security Law and is in solitary confinement at 76, with deteriorating health. Recently, a Hong Kong appeals panel rejected his appeal, claiming his treatment does not violate fundamental human rights, highlighting the pressure on the Hong Kong judiciary.

As the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation states, Lammy has the chance to be a true statesman and should urge the international community to pay attention!

香港司法延誤問題

多年來,香港檢控程序緩慢引發關注。2014年雨傘運動的案件,兩年才審判,如今四年或更長的等待似乎成為常態。

最近,一位法官注意到2019年被捕的雙胞胎,當時他們只有14歲。隨著時間推移,他們已成為成年人,失去青少年犯的特殊待遇,姓名也被公開,影響未來的就業和教育。

如果在英國,這樣的延誤必然會引發抗議。香港的司法體系亟需改革,以實現公正與效率!

Judicial Delays in Hong Kong

For years, the slow pace of prosecutions in Hong Kong has raised concerns. In the 2014 Umbrella Movement cases, trials took two years, and now waiting four years or more is becoming common.

Recently, a judge noted the case of twins arrested in 2019 when they were just 14. Now adults, they’ve lost the protections meant for juveniles, and their names are public, affecting their future opportunities.

In the UK, such delays would provoke outrage. It's time for Hong Kong's judicial system to reform for true justice and efficiency!
