DQ Tse Sai-kit | Social Workers Registration Board officially gazettes three-year striking-off; Tse Sai-kit: Saying goodbye to the social worker title, but not losing the social worker spirit
68 歲的「守護大嶼聯盟」召集人謝世傑，今（31日）正式被社工註冊局登報，註銷其註冊三年，理由是他被裁定干犯欺詐罪，令社工專業聲譽受損。謝世傑早前就釘牌決定提出申述，被註冊局駁回。謝世傑今日再回應指，停牌三年，等如告別社工名義，但沒磨滅社工意志，指自己曾是「抗河蟹社工」、「彈散社工」、「民間社工」，將來也是。
The 68-year-old convener of the Save Lantau Alliance, Tse Sai-kit, was officially gazetted today (the 31st) as having their registration cancelled for three years by the Social Workers Registration Board, on the grounds that they had been convicted of fraud, damaging the reputation of the social work profession. Tse Sai-kit had earlier made representations against the striking-off decision, but these were rejected by the Registration Board. Tse Sai-kit responded again today, saying that being struck off for three years was equivalent to saying goodbye to the social worker title, but had not erased the social worker spirit. They said they had been an “anti-censorship social worker”, an “outspoken social worker” and a “community social worker”, and would remain so in the future.

HKBU Cleaner Forced to Resign｜Supervisor Drafted “Voluntary” Resignation Letter and Demanded Signature; After Dismissal Was Withdrawn, “Added Hardship” Effectively Pushed Him Out
浸會大學外判清潔，今年八月由新營辦商莊臣接手後，工人發起工潮爭取較合理薪酬。莊臣接手不足三個月，一名清潔工便在未有任何警告下，被主管以負責範圍有污跡為由，要求簽署「自願離職」信，莊臣在與工會協議撤回解僱決定後，再要求該工友離職。涉事工友批評，公司脅迫其離職、出爾反爾，工會亦批公司態度反覆無常，破壞雙方互信及尊重，促莊臣解釋和道歉。
《集誌社》向莊臣查詢，要求工友自願離職的原因、會否道歉，莊臣回覆指，得悉事件後即時展開內部調查，將與工友持續溝通，釐清誤會，尋求解決方案。浸大則表示，已立即要求承辦商詳細交待，及敦促提供合適方案妥善處理。
Outsourced cleaners at Hong Kong Baptist University launched industrial action this August after Johnson took over as the new contractor, seeking more reasonable pay. Less than three months after the takeover, a cleaner was asked by his supervisor to sign a “voluntary resignation” letter, without any warning, on the grounds that there were stains in the area under his responsibility. After agreeing with the union to withdraw the dismissal, Johnson again asked the worker to resign. The worker criticised the company for coercing him to leave and going back on its word. The union also criticised the company’s inconsistent approach for undermining mutual trust and respect, and urged Johnson to explain itself and apologise.
In response to enquiries from The Collective, Johnson said it had immediately launched an internal investigation after learning of the incident. It would continue communicating with the worker to clarify the misunderstanding and seek a solution. HKBU said it had immediately asked the contractor to provide a detailed account and urged it to offer an appropriate solution to handle the matter properly.

UK Six-Monthly Report | The Initium and The Witness Among Media Investigated for Tax Issues; New Foreign Secretary Says Suppression of Independent Media Breaches Sino-British Joint Declaration Commitments
英國政府向國會提交新一份《香港半年報告》，除了提到今年上半年黎智英審訊與黃之鋒在獄中被捕，以及民主黨與社民連解散，亦指出香港記者被打壓的情況，包括《獨立媒體》、《法庭線》等獨立傳媒以及多位新聞工作者被查稅，記協舉辦足球比賽、籌款晚宴相繼被退場取消。新任外相顧綺慧（Yvette Cooper）表示，中方長期違反《中英聯合聲明》，而公民組織解散及獨立傳媒被針對，均跟當初給香港人高度自治的承諾不相符。
顧綺慧周四（23日）向國會提交《香港半年報告》，涵蓋今年1月至6月在香港發生的重要事件。37頁的報告提及多宗政治案件，包括黎智英案、林卓廷7.21暴動案，以及黃之鋒在獄中被捕指控他串謀勾結外國勢力，亦提到民主黨、社民連在期內相繼解散。
The UK Government submitted a new Hong Kong Six-Monthly Report to Parliament. In addition to mentioning Jimmy Lai’s trial and Joshua Wong’s arrest in prison during the first half of this year, as well as the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the League of Social Democrats, it highlighted the suppression of Hong Kong journalists. This included tax investigations into independent media outlets such as The Initium and The Witness, and several journalists, while football matches and a fundraising dinner organised by the Hong Kong Journalists Association were successively cancelled after venues withdrew. New Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said that China had long violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and that the dissolution of civic organisations and targeting of independent media were inconsistent with the original commitment to grant Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy.
Cooper submitted the Hong Kong Six-Monthly Report to Parliament on Thursday (23rd). Covering significant events in Hong Kong from January to June this year, the 37-page report mentioned several political cases, including the Jimmy Lai case, Lam Cheuk-ting’s 7.21 riot case, and Joshua Wong’s arrest in prison on allegations that he conspired to collude with foreign forces. It also noted that the Democratic Party and the League of Social Democrats dissolved during the period.

The US non-profit Human Rights Foundation, together with Laam Siu, an overseas spokesperson for Amnesty International Hong Kong, submitted a complaint to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concerning Owen Chow’s case in the “47-person case”. Laam Siu told Pulse HK that they hoped the UN would confirm that Owen Chow had been arbitrarily and unreasonably detained by the Hong Kong government, and that the move would also generate international solidarity for the other defendants in the 47-person case. She also called on the international community to address the Hong Kong government’s violations of human rights and take corresponding measures, including visa restrictions and sanctions, and urged the government to immediately release all political prisoners.

Chickeeduck Online Shop to Close | Genuine Goods Seized by Dongguan Customs Four Years Ago Put Up for Sale on Taobao; Chow Siu Lung Herber Denounces: “They’re Bandits!”
兩年前撤出香港的兒童時裝品牌 Chickeeduck，其網店將於本月底結業，正式全面結束所有業務。不過，旅居英美的 Chickeeduck 老闆周小龍近日接獲網民通知，其中一款在兩年前已被東莞海關充公的「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋竟在淘寶網站有售，並標明是香港品牌 Chickeeduck。周小龍指該批貨品原值近500萬港元，怒斥強行充公再放售淘寶是「土匪行為」。他又透露過去兩年曾嘗試在東南亞另覓廠家延續海外業務，但對方因憂慮中共的影響力而不敢合作。
被網民日前發現在淘寶有售的「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋現時已經下架，但根據周小龍提供的網民截圖，帆布袋之前在淘寶網站的宣傳標明「香港品牌」、「CHICKEEDUCK」，每個售價13.8元人民幣（約15.18港元）。周小龍接受《追光者》訪問時表示，該款「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋是2021年9月 Chickeeduck 被中國大陸海關充公的其中一款貨品，該批被充公貨品合共有5萬件，除了2萬個帆布袋，另有兒童被子、枕頭、咕臣等，零售估值近500萬港元。
Children’s fashion brand Chickeeduck, which withdrew from Hong Kong two years ago, will close its online shop at the end of this month, formally ending all its business operations. However, Chickeeduck owner Chow Siu Lung Herber, who is living in Britain and the United States, was recently informed by internet users that one of the “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags seized by Dongguan Customs two years ago was being sold on Taobao, with the listing identifying it as being from the Hong Kong brand Chickeeduck. Chow Siu Lung Herber said the goods were originally worth nearly HK$5 million and condemned their forcible seizure and subsequent sale on Taobao as “bandit behaviour”. Chow Siu Lung Herber also disclosed that over the past two years, attempts had been made to find other manufacturers in Southeast Asia to continue the overseas business, but the manufacturers were unwilling to cooperate because they were concerned about the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.
The “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags, which internet users recently found being sold on Taobao, have since been removed from the site. However, screenshots provided by Chow Siu Lung Herber showed that the bags had previously been promoted on Taobao as a “Hong Kong brand” and “CHICKEEDUCK”, at RMB13.8 each (approximately HK$15.18). In an interview with Pulse HK, Chow Siu Lung Herber said the “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags were among the goods seized by mainland Chinese customs from Chickeeduck in September 2021. The seized shipment comprised 50,000 items, including 20,000 canvas bags as well as children’s quilts, pillows and cushions, with a retail valuation of nearly HK$5 million.

Frankfurt Book Fair Silent Protest Counters CCP Propaganda; Protesters Hold Up Apple Daily to Denounce Hong Kong’s “Everything Is Fine” Façade
德國聯邦議院副議長勞里普爾（Omid Nouripour）現身支持以及德國便衣警察在場保護下，一批港人、維吾爾人、中國人及德國人上周六（18日）冒著嚴寒天氣，在全球最最大書展、德國法蘭克福書展，發動「冇事（Everything is Fine）」默站藝術抗議行動，反擊中共大外宣，指港區《國安法》下，港人被封嘴、被揞眼，香港昔日蓬勃的新聞自由、公民社會及文化空間被瓦解，力指所謂「香港冇事」是假象。有被封嘴封眼的默站者手持最後一份香港《蘋果日報》，抗議港區《國安法》下香港失去新聞自由。
With German Bundestag Vice-President Omid Nouripour appearing in support and plainclothes German police providing protection, a group of Hongkongers, Uyghurs, Chinese and Germans braved the cold last Saturday (the 18th) to stage the “Everything is Fine” silent-standing art protest at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest book fair. The action countered the Chinese Communist Party’s external propaganda campaign, saying that under the Hong Kong National Security Law, Hongkongers have been silenced and blindfolded, while Hong Kong’s once-vibrant press freedom, civil society and cultural space have been dismantled. The participants strongly argued that the claim that “Everything is Fine” in Hong Kong is an illusion. Some participants with their mouths covered and eyes blindfolded held up the final edition of Hong Kong’s Apple Daily to protest the loss of press freedom under the Hong Kong National Security Law.

‘Yellowland’ invited to set up stall, cancelled one day before event
售賣曲奇等餅食的黃店「小皇國 Yellowland」，早前受邀原定在10月29日至11月2日，於沙田新城市廣場的「Halloween 港式啤酒節」設攤位，但是主辦方在活動開始前一日通知，因「緊急工程」取消攤位。「小皇國 Yellowland」及網民紛紛質疑，事件與該店立場有關。本報正就事件向新城市廣場查詢。
「小皇國 Yellowland」在社交平台指，獲邀參與市集並在上星期落實，之後努力準備新包裝，「偏偏準備咗好多日之後，舉辦單位前一日先同我哋講要取消我哋個booth（攤位），原因係因為我地個booth有緊急工程」。「小皇國 Yellowland」形容得知事件後，「即刻嬲到想講粗口」。
The yellow shop “Yellowland”, which sells cookies and other baked goods, had earlier been invited to set up a stall at the “Halloween Hong Kong-style Beer Festival” at Sha Tin New Town Plaza from October 29 to November 2. However, the organiser notified it one day before the event began that the stall was cancelled because of “emergency works”. “Yellowland” and internet users questioned whether the incident was related to the shop’s political stance. This newspaper is making inquiries with New Town Plaza about the incident.
“Yellowland” said on social media that its participation in the market had been confirmed last week, after which it worked hard to prepare new packaging. It said: “After we had spent so many days preparing, the organiser only told us the day before that our booth (stall) had to be cancelled, because there were emergency works at our booth.” “Yellowland” described its reaction on learning of the incident as being “so angry that we immediately wanted to swear”.

全運會首場香港區賽事周五（31日）舉行，綠色和平今（30日）到啟德體育園外舉紅牌抗議，引述「可靠消息」指，國際七人欖球賽，申請明年在體育園使用重用杯被拒，指體育園一年內三度拒絕不同主辦方的相關申請，又指曾在主場館設置的「紙杯/紙盒」分類箱，在最近的大型賽事「失蹤」，促請園方落實使用重用杯系統，「引領灣區」推動綠色全運會。
The first Hong Kong event of the National Games will be held on Friday (31st). On Thursday (30th), Greenpeace held up a red card outside Kai Tak Sports Park in protest, citing “reliable sources” as saying that an application to use reusable cups at the sports park for next year’s international rugby sevens tournament had been rejected. It said the sports park had rejected relevant applications from different organisers three times within a year, and that the sorting bins for “paper cups/paper cartons” previously placed at the Main Stadium had “disappeared” at the most recent major event. Greenpeace urged the sports park to implement a reusable cup system and “lead the Greater Bay Area” in promoting a green National Games.

“Jace” Wan Yiu-sing Granted Political Asylum in Canada, Applying for Permanent Residency; Says Canadian Government “Judged That I Was Not Laundering Money”
網台主持「傑斯」尹耀昇，曾因洗黑錢罪及串謀作具意圖煽動行為罪被判囚 32 個月，至 2022 年 11 月 18 日獲釋，出獄翌年前往加拿大。日前他在其 YouTube 頻道宣布，在加拿大獲批政治庇護，正式進入申請永久居留權的階段。
一度被拒旅客身份入境 滯留台灣
尹耀昇周二（10 月 28 日）拍片表示，他 2023 年 3 月來到加拿大，其後兩年半他一直處理申請政治庇護的事宜，形容自己個案「棘手」。他解釋，因在香港被判洗黑錢罪成，一度被加拿大拒絕以旅客身份入境，要滯留台灣一段時間，最終靠加拿大國會議員向當局解釋、「特事特辦」，才獲准入境。
Online radio host “Jace” Wan Yiu-sing was previously sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment for money laundering and conspiracy to do acts with a seditious intention. He was released on 18 November 2022 and went to Canada the following year. He recently announced on his YouTube channel that he had been granted political asylum in Canada and had formally entered the stage of applying for permanent residency.
Initially refused entry as a visitor and stranded in Taiwan
In a video posted on Tuesday (28 October), Wan said he came to Canada in March 2023 and had spent the following two and a half years handling his political asylum application, describing his case as “tricky”. He explained that, because he had been convicted of money laundering in Hong Kong, Canada had at one point refused to let him enter as a visitor. He had to remain in Taiwan for some time, and was eventually allowed to enter after a Canadian member of Parliament explained the situation to the authorities and “made a special exception”.

Secondary school’s cloud collection of students’ Home Return Permit data suspected of exposing personal information; Education Bureau demands report
有中學被指不當處理學生個人資料，恐令學生私隱外泄。近日有西營盤樂善堂梁銶琚書院學生在社交平台發文，指控學校在預備學生到內地交流團時，要求學生將回鄉證資料上傳至Google Drive雲端硬碟，但未設定合適權限限制，導致任何持有學校帳戶者可在未經授權下，查閱及下載學生的個人資料，擔心相關學生的私隱因而外泄。
校方昨日（22日）向家長發通告回應事件，稱得知事件後，已即時指示相關班別的班主任取消雲端硬碟連結，並刪除所有已上載的證件副本檔案，又指經全面調查確認，未發現學生證件副本外泄的情況。
教育局指，已就事件即時聯絡學校，並按既定程序作出跟進，包括要求學校向教育局提交書面報告交代事件。私隱專員公署則指，已根據既定程序展開調查。
A secondary school has been accused of mishandling students’ personal data, potentially compromising their privacy. Students at Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College in Sai Ying Pun recently posted on social media alleging that, while preparing for a mainland exchange trip, the school required them to upload their Home Return Permit information to Google Drive. However, appropriate access restrictions had not been set, allegedly allowing anyone with a school account to view and download the students’ personal data without authorisation, raising concerns that the privacy of the students concerned had been compromised.
The school responded in a notice to parents yesterday (22nd), saying that after learning of the incident, it immediately instructed the class teachers of the relevant classes to cancel the cloud-drive link and delete all uploaded copies of identity documents. It also said that a comprehensive investigation had confirmed that no copies of students’ identity documents had been found to have been leaked.
The Education Bureau said it had contacted the school immediately regarding the incident and followed up in accordance with established procedures, including requiring the school to submit a written report to the bureau explaining the incident. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said it had launched an investigation in accordance with established procedures.
