Tsuen Wan Ice-Cream Shop Sets Up Primary Polling Station, Faces Threat of Tenancy Termination by Mall
民主派初選將於本週末舉行，荃新天地二期Sogno Gelato雪糕店為新界西票站之一，惟店舖突遭商場以「涉嫌違反《租務條例》」為由警告，要求停止票站服務，否則會違約封鋪。店舖決定取消初選票站服務，荃灣區議員劉卓裕批評為政治打壓，有份參與新界西初選的新民主同盟譚凱邦籲市民「愈打壓，愈堅強」，更加踴躍投票。
The pan-democratic primary will be held this weekend. Sogno Gelato, an ice-cream shop in Citywalk 2, is one of the polling stations for New Territories West, but the mall suddenly warned the shop that it had allegedly violated the Tenancy Ordinance and demanded that it stop providing polling-station services, or face a breach of contract and closure. The shop decided to cancel its primary polling-station services. Tsuen Wan District Councillor Adrian Cheuk Yu Lau criticised the move as political suppression, while the Neo Democrats Roy Hoi Pong Tam, which is participating in the New Territories West primary, urged the public to be “more determined in the face of greater suppression” and to vote in even greater numbers.

HKU removes Lennon Wall materials including “Liberate Hong Kong” in early hours; university cites campus cleanliness, Students’ Union says move clearly due to National Security Law
港區國安法生效後，大量黃店紛紛收起店內文宣，連大專院校亦開始清拆連儂牆。香港大學連接百周年校園和本部校園大學街（U-Street）之間的柱上原貼滿文宣及同學寫的便條，但港大學生會在 Telegram 頻道指出，昨日（8日）凌晨校方派人清拆連接柱上印有「光復香港，時代革命」及「香港獨立」字句的文宣，校方更向學生會表示，連儂牆旁的柱不屬於學生會管理範圍，因此有權作出清理。
After the Hong Kong National Security Law took effect, many “yellow shops” began removing political materials from their premises, and tertiary institutions also started dismantling Lennon Walls. The pillars along University Street (U-Street), which connects the University of Hong Kong’s Centennial Campus and Main Campus, had previously been covered with political materials and notes written by students. The HKU Students’ Union said on its Telegram channel that, in the early hours of yesterday (the 8th), the university sent staff to remove materials bearing the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” and “Hong Kong independence” from the connecting pillars. The university also told the Students’ Union that the pillars beside the Lennon Wall were not within the union’s management area, and that it therefore had the right to clear them.

[Hong Kong national security law] Yellow shop posts blank paper to mock being silenced: Those who understand will understand
「港區國安法」於6月30日晚上正式實施，政府之後亦發聲明指「光復香港 時代革命」有港獨含意，隨即引發不少「黃店」清除店內文宣品。在法例實施後的第一個周末，獨媒視察旺角及尖沙咀的店鋪情況，不少涉及「光時」的文宣品已被清走，食店「不忘」負責人X先生表示，雖然害怕被以言入罪，但不會因此放棄自由民主，並在店舖加貼8張空白A4紙，諷刺香港人被禁言的事實，「代表咩可自行填充，明嘅始終會明」
The National Security Law for Hong Kong formally came into effect on the evening of June 30. The government subsequently issued a statement saying that “Liberate Hong Kong; revolution of our times” carries implications of Hong Kong independence, prompting many “yellow shops” to remove promotional materials from their premises. On the first weekend after the law took effect, InMedia inspected shops in Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui and found that many materials involving “Liberate Hong Kong; revolution of our times” had been removed. Mr X, the person in charge of the restaurant “不忘”, said that although he was afraid of being prosecuted over his words, he would not give up freedom and democracy as a result. The restaurant had also put up eight blank A4 sheets, satirising the fact that Hong Kong people had been silenced: “What they represent can be filled in by yourselves; those who understand will understand.”

[Hong Kong National Security Law] Books Removed from Public Libraries for “Review”; Joshua Wong: Book Burning Has Already Happened
有傳媒報導，多本涉及政治抗爭的書藉疑因觸犯《國安法》，被公共圖書館下架作「覆檢」，包括前香港眾志秘書長黃之鋒於2013年出版的《我不是英雄──黃之鋒社論集》及2015年出版的《我不是細路：十八前後》。黃之鋒回應指，在白色恐怖下，「焚書已經發生，坑儒亦即將發生」。但他強調，自己的書籍被審查是微不足道，呼籲本地和國際關注所有因《國安法》被檢控的「手足」。
Media reports said that several books concerning political protests had been removed from public libraries for “review”, allegedly because they might violate the National Security Law. They included former Demosistō secretary-general Joshua Wong’s 2013 book *I Am Not a Hero—Joshua Wong’s Editorial Collection* and his 2015 book *I Am Not a Kid: Before and After 18*. Wong responded that, under the white terror, “book burning has already happened, and burying scholars will happen soon”. He stressed, however, that the censorship of his books was insignificant, and called on people in Hong Kong and internationally to pay attention to all the “fellow activists” prosecuted under the National Security Law.

Tanya Chan’s 2014 Book Removed from Public Libraries
公民黨立法會議員陳淑莊曾出版《邊走邊吃邊抗爭》一書，康文署將該書從公共圖書館下架，稱「覆檢中」。陳淑莊下午出席公民黨選舉造勢時批評，《國安法》立法明顯影響港人的生活，並不是只影響一小撮人，質疑部門急於表態，已造成白色恐怖。
Civic Party Legislative Council member Tanya Chan published a book titled “Walking, Eating and Resisting”. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department removed it from public libraries, saying it was “under review”. Speaking at a Civic Party election rally in the afternoon, Chan criticised the legislation of the national security law, saying it had clearly affected Hong Kong people’s lives and not just a small group of people. She questioned whether the department was too eager to make its position known, saying it had already created a climate of white terror.

Tin Shui Wai Connection set up a street booth outside Kwai Chung Plaza in the afternoon. Nearly 30 police officers arrived and demanded that the group remove a banner bearing the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times”, saying it was suspected of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law. The officers at one point also attempted to seize the banner. They further asked members of Tin Shui Wai Connection to sign a “confirmation” stating that they had put up the banner, but the members refused. Yuen Long District Councillor Ng Kin-wai said Hong Kong people should absolutely not self-censor or silence themselves before any court ruling, and said he would not be intimidated and would “continue to shout and continue to call out”.
