申訴專員公署網頁大刪報告 民間組織接力整理目錄重現人間
The Office of The Ombudsman was found to have removed large numbers of investigation reports, annual reports, mediation cases and related press releases from its website, retaining only materials from the past three years and prompting public outcry. Although the office allows members of the public to inspect the materials in person, it requires them to provide details including the report topic, department involved and month of publication, while not providing a directory of reports that have been taken offline. Over the past week, two civic groups used different methods to locate the relevant materials and reconstructed a directory of nearly 238 reports, covering all reports removed from the office’s website. The Liber Research Community, one of the groups involved, criticised the office for setting a “bad example” in handling publicly available information, raising concerns that other departments might follow suit and make more historically valuable documents unavailable.
The office reiterated that members of the public could submit written requests for information not available on the website. However, after testing the process in person, several media organisations found that applicants first had to complete a form stating the topic of the report they wished to inspect, the department involved and the month of publication. Office staff said that providing detailed information would make it easier to locate the relevant report accurately; if applicants could only provide general information, they would have to wait for a response from the office. As the office does not provide a report directory, members of the public face difficulties in completing the form accurately.
申訴專員公署被揭在網頁刪走大量調查報告、年報、調解個案和相關新聞稿，僅保留近三年資料，引起輿論譁然。雖公署允許市民親身查閱資料，惟要求填寫報告主題、涉及部門及公布月份等資料，卻不提供已下架報告的目錄。兩個民間組織過去一周以不同方式尋找相關資料，重新製作有近238份報告的目錄，涵蓋公署已於網站移除的所有報告。有份出力的本土研究社批評，若公署示範一個處理公開資料的「壞榜樣」，讓人憂慮其他部門會否「有樣學樣」，令更多昔日具參考價值的文件不予公開。
公署雖重申市民可書面要求索取網站以外資料，但多間傳媒親身實測後發現，市民需要先填表格，包括欲查閱報告的主題、涉及部門、公布月份。署方職員表示，提供資料詳細的話，較易準確地查找出相關報告，若只能籠統填寫，則需待公署回應。由於公署不提供報告目錄，市民要準確填表面對一定阻礙。

32國簽署國際調解院公約 非洲佔14個 王毅：歡迎更多國家加入
Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Hong Kong yesterday and attended this morning’s signing ceremony for the Convention on the Establishment of the International Organization for Mediation. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had earlier announced that representatives from “nearly 60 countries and 20 international organisations” would attend, 32 countries actually took part in the signing this morning, including 14 African countries and six Pacific island countries. Of the 10 ASEAN countries, only Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos participated. In his speech, Wang said China advocated handling differences in a spirit of mutual understanding and accommodation, and would actively explore “a Chinese approach to resolving hotspot issues” to offer “Chinese wisdom” for countries to resolve conflicts and differences. He also said China expected all signatory countries to ratify the Convention as soon as possible, and welcomed more countries to join actively.

外賣員罷工｜Keeta 公告指搶單為「輔助」、「比例小」 籲外送員停車、安全下挑選訂單
Delivery riders on the Keeta platform went on strike in multiple districts this month, protesting cuts to per-order rates and the implementation of an order-grabbing system that they said endangered their safety. Keeta issued a notice to couriers yesterday, saying the assigned-order model accounted for nearly 90% of all orders, while the order-grabbing list was merely “auxiliary” and accounted for a “very small” proportion of total orders, giving couriers more opportunities to receive orders. It also said it would gradually improve the product design to ensure couriers could use the feature more safely, and advised them to check and select orders while parked and in a safe, suitable environment.
外賣平台 Keeta 本月多區有外賣員罷工，抗議平台削減單價、及推行搶單制度危及外賣員安全。Keeta 昨向送遞員發放公告，指派單模式佔所有訂單近 9 成，搶單列表僅為「輔助」，佔整體訂單數量比例「非常小」，讓送遞員獲更多訂單的機會；又指將逐步改善產品設計，確保送遞員更安全地使用該功能，並建議送遞員在停車及安全合適環境下查看及挑選訂單。

天主教香港教區連續第四年停辦六四彌撒
This year marks the 36th anniversary of the June Fourth Incident. The Hong Kong Catholic Social Communications Office said Cardinal Chow Sau-yan, bishop of the Catholic Diocese, presided over a solemn concelebrated Mass last Saturday in honour of Our Lady Help of Christians and prayed for the Church in China, meaning that the June Fourth Mass was not held for the fourth consecutive year.
On 4 June 2021, the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace held Masses for the Deceased at seven churches across Hong Kong. The churches were also packed, and some worshippers mourned outside them.
今年是「八九六四」事件36週年，香港天主教社會傳播處表示，天主教教區主教周守仁樞機已在上周六主持隆重共祭彌撒，以敬禮「聖母進教之佑」，並為中國教會祈禱，亦即連續第四年停辦六四彌撒。
在2021年6月4日，天主教正義和平委員會在全港7間教堂舉行「追思亡者彌撒」，教堂亦座無虛席，有教徒在教堂門外悼念。

中國、香港提交禁止酷刑報告 人權中心促國際密切監督
The Chinese government has recently, and more than five years overdue, finally submitted its sixth periodic report to the United Nations Committee against Torture under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture), including relevant content on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The report was due on 9 December 2019. The Chinese authorities’ serious delay clearly violated their legal obligations as a state party.
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre published the Report on Torture and Inhuman Treatment in Hong Kong in November 2024, highlighting the serious delays by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments in submitting their periodic reports, and stating that Hong Kong’s human rights protection mechanisms for preventing torture and inhuman treatment have been systematically weakened by the impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law. Last year, we raised the matter with the United Nations Secretariat, member states and the Special Rapporteur on torture, urging the Committee against Torture to proactively review the implementation of the Convention against Torture in China and Hong Kong even in the absence of China’s state report.
中國政府近期終於向聯合國禁止酷刑委員會提交已逾期超過五年的《禁止酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》（《禁止酷刑公約》）第六次定期報告，包括香港特別行政區的相關內容。該報告原應於2019年12月9日提交，中國當局的嚴重拖延明顯違反其作為締約國的法律義務。
香港人權資訊中心於2024年11月發表《香港酷刑和不人道處遇報告》，指出中國及香港政府嚴重逾期提交定期報告的問題，以及香港的防止酷刑及不人道待遇的人權保障機制正因《香港國安法》的影響而被系統性地削弱。我們於去年已向聯合國秘書處、 各成員國及禁止酷刑特別報告員反映有關問題，促請禁止酷刑委員會即使欠缺中國的國家報告，仍應主動審議《禁止酷刑公約》於中國及香港的實施情況。

ARTBOX HK市集突延期 有台灣檔主獲告知涉「政治原因」
The giant container market “ARTBOX HONG KONG 2025”, originally scheduled for next month at the East Camp of Kai Tak Sports Park, suddenly announced its cancellation. The event was originally planned to feature 300 stalls showcasing Southeast Asian and local cultural and creative brands. A Taiwan-based vendor told InMedia that it had earlier received verbal notification from a co-organising party that the cancellation involved political factors, but said it did not know the details. InMedia asked Kai Tak Sports Park whether this was true. The park replied that, as the matter involved commercial negotiations, it would not comment on or disclose the details of individual applications.

申訴署刪資料｜1.5 小時限閱 6 份文件 紙本形式限抄寫、拍攝、影印 不能燒錄
The Office of The Ombudsman has removed investigation reports and other information from before 2023 from its website, as well as all cases under the Code on Access to Information. Whereas the public could previously view the reports and other information freely online, they must now complete a form under the Procedure for Access to Information Held by the Office to access information not available on the website.
The Collective previously submitted a form requesting all proactive investigation reports from 2013 to 2023 and all Code on Access to Information cases from 2016 onwards. The Office replied today (26th) that each user may access no more than six documents during each 1.5-hour session. It also said the reporter’s request was “too broad” and asked for the names of the reports or relevant content for follow-up. The reporter additionally requested, under the Administrative Charges for Requests for Information from the Office, that digital files be burned onto a USB drive. The Office said it would provide “paper documents” for inspection, and that applicants could bring their own paper and pen to take notes, use a mobile phone to take photographs, or make photocopies at the Office.
申訴專員公署網站刪除 2023 年前調查報告等資料，以及所有《公開資料守則》個案。公眾由以往可在網上自由閱覽報告等資料，現須按《查閱公署資料程序》，填表格查閱網站外資料。
《集誌社》早前填表索閱 2013 年至 2023 年所有主動調查報告、2016 年至今《公開資料守則》個案，公署今（26日）回覆指每名用者每 1.5 小時段最多可索閱 6 份文件，另指記者查閱資料「範圍過於廣泛」，要求提供報告名稱或相關內容作跟進。記者另根據《要求公署提供資料的行政收費》要求將數碼檔案燒錄於 USB，公署指提供「紙本文件」供查閱，申請人可自備紙筆記錄、手機拍攝或於公署內影印。

外國記者會主席：新聞自由情況不樂觀 會守住界線
The Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) published a press freedom survey last month, in which more than 60% of respondents said press freedom in Hong Kong had deteriorated over the past year. After the FCC released the results, several pro-establishment figures condemned it, accusing it of smearing Hong Kong. Speaking yesterday (May 24) on the Democratic Party’s online programme, FCC chairman Lee Williamson said press freedom in Hong Kong had been severely restricted since the implementation of the national security law, describing the current situation as not optimistic. He said the FCC’s responsibility at present was to hold the line and continue defending press freedom. Williamson reiterated that the FCC was a non-political organisation and stressed that press freedom was closely linked to Hong Kong’s future prosperity, and that the FCC’s existence was beneficial to this.
香港外國記者會（FCC）上月公布新聞自由調查，超過六成受訪者認為本港新聞自由在過去一年間變差。FCC 公佈調查結果後被多名建制派人士譴責，指抹黑香港。FCC 主席 Lee Williamson 昨日（5月24日）出席民主黨網台節目時表示，香港的新聞自由自國安法實施後受到嚴重限制，形容現時情況並不樂觀，現時 FCC 的職責是守住界線（hold the line），繼續捍衛新聞自由。Williamson 重申 FCC 是一個非政治組織，強調新聞自由與香港未來的繁榮息息相關，而 FCC 的存在對此有利。
