Civic Party Executive Committee Re-elected; Alan Leong Retains Chairmanship, Says It Is Too Early to Decide on LegCo Bid
公民黨今日（11月28日）以舉行周年黨員大會，並舉行新一屆執行委員會選舉。公民黨在上月遭人大常委決定、特區政府取消三名立法會議員資格，惹來「滅黨」危機。換屆的公民黨執委會，由前立法會議員梁家傑續任黨主席，他指公民黨未來將放棄代議制度下的議會路線，推動全民監察政府，在公民社會為香港人充權。他回應記者提問時，亦多次強調現階段決定會否出選是「言之尚早」、「政治一日都嫌長」，指「若到時市民希望公民黨參選便會追隨民意」。
The Civic Party held its annual party members’ meeting and elected a new Executive Committee today (November 28). The party has faced a crisis over its survival after the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress made a decision last month that led the HKSAR Government to disqualify three Legislative Council members. Alan Leong, a former Legislative Council member, retained the chairmanship of the reconstituted Executive Committee. He said the Civic Party would in future abandon the parliamentary route under the representative system, promote public monitoring of the government, and empower Hong Kong people through civil society. Responding to reporters’ questions, he repeatedly stressed that it was “too early to say” whether the party would contest elections at this stage and that “one day is already too long in politics”, adding that “if the public hopes the Civic Party will contest at that time, we will follow public opinion.”

【One Year After the District Council Elections】Home Affairs Department Suppresses District Councils on All Fronts, Banning Purchases of Anti-Epidemic Supplies and Obstructing Research Funding
八區民主派聯絡會議今午舉行記者會，回顧過去一年區議會。多區區議會主席均表示民政處全方位打壓，除以《區議會條例》第61條職能為由，禁止區議會討論「全港性議題」並離席外，亦禁止區議會使用「社區參與計劃」撥款購買防疫物資，以獲區議會批准的研究撥款，亦遭拖延。
The Liaison Meeting of Pan-democratic District Councillors from eight districts held a press conference this afternoon to review the district councils’ past year. Chairs of several district councils said the Home Affairs Department had suppressed the councils on all fronts. Besides invoking the functions of district councils under Section 61 of the District Councils Ordinance to prohibit discussion of “territory-wide issues” and walking out, it had also prohibited district councils from using Community Involvement Programme funding to purchase anti-epidemic supplies. Research funding approved by district councils had likewise been delayed.

CUHK graduates stage spontaneous march, urging people not to forget the protests: “We will remember fellow protesters, whether alive or dead”
香港中文大學畢業禮原定今日（11月19日）舉行，惟上周宣佈因疫情轉為網上舉行。近200名應屆畢業生今日自發回到校園遊行，及到去年爆發衝突的「二號橋」默哀，途中更高叫「光時」口號。有學生配戴白絲帶悼念運動中受傷及犧牲的抗爭者：「不論生死都會記掛住佢哋。」中大校方表示集會及遊行活動涉嫌違反限聚令及《公安條例》，而且有人展示港獨橫額及旗幟、高叫港獨及顛覆國家政權口號，校方今早已經報警，並對違法行為予以強烈譴責。
The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s graduation ceremony was originally scheduled for today (November 19), but the university announced last week that it would be held online because of the pandemic. Nearly 200 graduating students returned to campus today to stage a spontaneous march and observe a minute’s silence at “Bridge No. 2”, where clashes broke out last year. They also shouted the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times” along the way. Some students wore white ribbons to mourn protesters injured or killed during the movement, saying: “We will remember them, whether they are alive or dead.” CUHK said the gathering and march were suspected of violating the ban on group gatherings and the Public Order Ordinance. It also said that some people displayed banners and flags advocating Hong Kong independence and shouted slogans advocating Hong Kong independence and the subversion of state power. The university reported the matter to the police this morning and strongly condemned the unlawful acts.

National Security Law legislation: Pro-Taiwan groups abandon Double Ten celebrations as Red House owner deploys guards to block access
位於屯門中山公園內的紅樓，是辛亥革命遺址。每年一月一日及「雙十節」均有國民黨支持者等親台人士，到公園進行升旗慶祝活動，惟今天（10月10日）紅樓未見青天白日滿地紅旗，相反有大批警員到場戒備。過往協助舉辦雙十節活動的元朗區議會副主席麥業成到場，與幾位支持者高唱中華民國國歌及宣誓。業主派出保安，力阻油尖旺區議員陳嘉朗及其他市民接近紅樓。
The Red House in Tuen Mun’s Sun Yat Sen Park is a site associated with the Xinhai Revolution. Every 1 January and Double Ten Day, pro-Taiwan figures, including Kuomintang supporters, have gone to the park for flag-raising celebrations. However, today (10 October), no Republic of China flags were seen at the Red House, while a large number of police officers were deployed there. Johnny Ip Sing Mak, the former vice-chairman of the Yuen Long District Council who had previously assisted in organising Double Ten Day activities, attended and sang the Republic of China national anthem and took an oath with several supporters. The owner deployed security guards to prevent Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Leslie Ka Long Chan and other members of the public from approaching the Red House.
