Hong Kong Alliance Protests Outside Liaison Office; Lee Cheuk-yan Pushed Close to Four Others and Accused of Breaching Gathering Ban
支聯會、社民連等多個團體今早到中聯辦抗議，他們以倒後行的形式，斥內地及香港人權不斷倒退。警方拒絕讓示威者到中聯辦正門，並答應安排四人一組到正門水馬外的指定範圍抗議，但在第一組完成行動後，支聯會主席李卓人接受訪問時，突被警方以橙帶封鎖線推近另外四人，遭票控違反「限聚令」。
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, the League of Social Democrats and several other groups protested outside the Liaison Office this morning. Walking backwards, they condemned the continuing deterioration of human rights in mainland China and Hong Kong. Police refused to let the protesters go to the Liaison Office’s main entrance, but agreed to arrange for groups of four to protest in a designated area outside the water barriers at the entrance. After the first group had completed its action, Alliance chair Lee Cheuk-yan was being interviewed when police suddenly used an orange-tape cordon to push him close to another group of four. He was issued a summons for allegedly breaching the gathering ban.

[National Security Law] Jimmy Sham and Lester Shum Say They Have Been Followed for Months; Shum: It Could Be the State Apparatus
自《國安法》生效後，多名民主派政治人物被大搜捕，前香港眾志副秘書長周庭，及前「學生動源」召集人鍾翰林均於被捕前發現被不明人士跟蹤，而前民間外交網絡發言人張崑陽及民主黨許智峯今日也指自己懷疑被跟蹤。民陣副召集人陳皓桓晚上亦發文指，自己與民陣召集人岑子杰出席電台節目時，有人拍攝到附近有 2 人形跡可疑，並以的士跟蹤他們離開，認為「面對既可能係國家機器」，稱已反覆被跟蹤多月。
After the National Security Law took effect, many pro-democracy figures were arrested in mass operations. Former Demosisto deputy secretary-general Agnes Chow and former Studentlocalism convenor Tony Chung both discovered that they were being followed by unidentified people before their arrests. Former Hong Kong International Diplomacy Network spokesperson Sunny Cheung and Democratic Party lawmaker Ted Hui also said today that they suspected they had been followed. In a post that evening, Civil Human Rights Front deputy convenor Lester Shum said that while he and the Front’s convenor Jimmy Sham were attending a radio programme, someone photographed two suspicious-looking people nearby, who followed them by taxi after they left. He said they believed they could be facing the state apparatus and that they had been repeatedly followed for months.

Followed by private car, Joshua Wong says suspected national security agents violated traffic rules; Agnes Chow says suspicious man monitored her home all day
自港區國安法 7 月在港實施，不時有民主派人士報稱被跟蹤和監視。前香港眾志秘書長黃之鋒今日（9 日）在 Facebook 發文指，在荔枝角發現被一輛私家車跟蹤，尾隨其後更發現對方衝紅燈、切線、違規掉頭等「罔顧交通安全」，黃之鋒質疑跟蹤者有「違法豁免權」，很可能是由國安單位委派；前眾志成員周庭同日亦指，住所樓下遭可疑男子監視，斥「白色恐怖無處不在」。
Since the National Security Law for Hong Kong was implemented in July, pro-democracy figures have periodically reported being followed and monitored. Joshua Wong Chi-fung, former secretary-general of Demosistō, said in a Facebook post today (the 9th) that he discovered he was being followed by a private car in Lai Chi Kok. He said the vehicle subsequently ran a red light, changed lanes and made an illegal U-turn, among other actions that “disregarded traffic safety”. Wong questioned whether the follower had “immunity from violating the law”, and said it was very likely that the person had been assigned by a national security unit. Agnes Chow Ting, a former Demosistō member, also said that day that a suspicious man had monitored the area below her residence throughout the day, condemning the fact that “white terror is everywhere”.

League of Social Democrats Protest NPC Interference in LegCo; Long Hair Says He Will Refuse to Pay Fine
行政長官林鄭月娥早前引用《緊急法》押後立法會選舉一年，立法會「真空期」將由人大常委會決定。社民連一行5人今日到中聯辦抗議，不滿人大常委開會「閉門」討論立法會安排，批評人大濫權破壞香港高度自治，警察以違反限聚令票控社民連所有成員。社民連副主席梁國雄表示，由五一勞動節起已遭到6、7次票控，明言不會交罰款「到時有咩同個官講」。
Chief Executive Carrie Lam earlier invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to postpone the Legislative Council election for one year, with the Legislative Council “vacuum period” to be determined by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. A five-member League of Social Democrats delegation went to the Liaison Office today to protest against the NPC Standing Committee holding a “closed-door” discussion on arrangements for the Legislative Council, criticising the NPC for abusing its powers and undermining Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy. Police issued summonses to all League of Social Democrats members for violating the ban on group gatherings. League vice-chairman Leung Kwok-hung said he had been issued with six or seven summonses since Labour Day and stated that he would not pay the fines, saying, “I’ll have something to say to the judge then.”

Yan Shing Court ousts Incorporated Owners entrenched for over 20 years; 13-member residents’ team elected unanimously
粉嶺欣盛苑昨日（7月12日）召開特別業主大會，通過撤換盤踞屋苑超過20年的舊業主立案法團，由「欣盛同行」團隊13人補上。會前有居民派發單張反對，雙方一度爭執：「以前劉國勳唔會有呢啲嘢㗎，點解要嘥4萬蚊搞（特別業主大會）？」
Yan Shing Court in Fanling held a special owners’ meeting yesterday (July 12), which passed a motion to replace the old Incorporated Owners, which had been entrenched in the estate for more than 20 years.

One resident said: “Liu Kwok-hung wouldn’t have had this sort of thing before. Why waste $40,000 on holding [the special owners’ meeting]?”

600,000 vote in primary as Benny Tai urges authorities to see that “Hong Kong people have never abandoned the pursuit of democracy”
民主派立法會初選晚上完成投票，負責協調和統籌的港大法律系副教授戴耀廷等人見記者，戴耀廷認為，投票的意義已較尋找民主派代表參選立法會為重要，因為在國安法立法下，仍有60萬港人無畏無懼，堅持發聲。他呼籲當權者看清楚，「港人從沒放棄追求民主。」
The pan-democratic camp’s Legislative Council primary completed voting on Sunday evening. Benny Tai, an associate professor in the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Law who was responsible for coordination and organisation, and others met reporters. Tai said the significance of the vote had become more important than finding representatives of the pan-democratic camp to contest Legislative Council elections, because even amid the enactment of the National Security Law, 600,000 Hong Kong people remained undaunted and persisted in making their voices heard. He urged those in power to see clearly that “Hong Kong people have never abandoned the pursuit of democracy.”
