88th anniversary of July 7 Incident: Action Committee for Defending Diaoyu Islands marches to Japanese consulate to protest, vows never to forget war crimes
今日是七七盧溝橋事變88周年。保釣行動委員會一如以往，遊行至日本駐港總領事館抗議，期間高喊「毋忘七七事變」、「毋忘九一八」、「毋忘南京大屠殺」、「毋忘日本侵華罪行」、「打倒日本軍國主義」等口號。他們抵達領事館後宣讀「七七宣言」，要求日本政府道歉及賠償，又默哀悼念當年抗戰死去的軍人和平民。
參與示威的有香港保釣行動委員主席陳多偉、副主席區伯權、秘書符偉樂、成員古思堯和雷玉蓮等一共7人。雷玉蓮嘆，88年的時間非常漫長，「世上難逢百歲人」，希望透過是次遊行告訴日本人：「戰爭嘅罪行，中國人永遠唔會忘記，中國人一定會追究到底，要求日本領事館道歉。」
Today marks the 88th anniversary of the July 7 Incident at Lugou Bridge. As in previous years, the Hong Kong Action Committee for Defending Diaoyu Islands marched to the Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong to protest, chanting slogans including “Remember the July 7 Incident”, “Remember September 18”, “Remember the Nanjing Massacre”, “Remember Japan’s crimes in invading China” and “Down with Japanese militarism”. After arriving at the consulate, they read out the “July 7 Declaration”, demanding that the Japanese government apologise and pay compensation, and observed a minute’s silence for the military personnel and civilians who died in the war of resistance at the time.
The seven protesters included Hong Kong Action Committee for Defending Diaoyu Islands chairman Chan To-wai, vice-chairman Pak Kuen Au, secretary Fu Wai-lok, members Ku Siu-yiu and Lui Yuk Lin, among others. Lui Yuk Lin said that 88 years was a very long time—“it is rare for anyone in the world to live to 100”—and hoped the march would tell Japanese people: “Chinese people will never forget the crimes of war. Chinese people will definitely pursue the matter to the end and demand an apology from the Japanese consulate.”

At League of Social Democrats dissolution press conference, Leung Tsz-kit hopes to continue serving disadvantaged communities without hesitation
社民連宣布解散，曾任社民連副主席的前民陣召集人、早前因初選案刑滿出獄的岑子杰亦有出席記者會。岑子杰指出，社民連宗旨「濟弱扶傾，義無反顧」多年一直鼓勵著自己，重申即使社民連已解散，仍希望能義無反顧為弱勢社群付出，關心有需要的人：「好感恩社民連曾經存在，好希望未來嘅社會仍然會有聲音，義無反顧、堅定不移、一以貫之地為弱勢社群發聲。」
The League of Social Democrats announced its dissolution. Leung Tsz-kit, a former vice-chairman of the League of Social Democrats and former convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front who was released from prison earlier after completing his sentence in the primary election case, also attended the press conference. Leung said the League’s guiding principle, “helping the weak and supporting the disadvantaged, without hesitation,” had encouraged him for many years. He reiterated that, even though the League had dissolved, he still hoped to continue serving disadvantaged communities without hesitation and caring for those in need: “I am very grateful that the League of Social Democrats once existed. I very much hope that society will still have voices in the future—speaking up for disadvantaged communities without hesitation, with unwavering determination and consistently.”

Responding to the League of Social Democrats’ Dissolution: Democratic Convictions Will Not Die; Authoritarian Walls Cannot Block the People’s Will
（香港，2025年6月29日）——在香港進入「後國安法時代」的第五年，今日傳來一項沉重消息：本地歷史最悠久的街頭民主政黨之一，社會民主連線（社民連）在強大政治壓力及安全威脅下被迫宣佈解散。這再次證明香港政府以「國家安全」為名的社會改造工程，正持續扼殺香港社會的公共及民主發展的空間。
社民連的解散，是香港政府以「國家安全」為名，全面介入言論、結社、集會自由後的結果。據報，過去一年社民連多次收到來自北京的「傳話」，警告他們須於七月一日前解散，暗示否則將面臨嚴重後果。
當局以《國安法》與《維護國家安全條例》作為法律武器，任意定罪與無限延伸的刑期早已不是假設，而是可見的現實。正如我們在《香港人權報告 2024》中記錄，社民連多年來持續遭受法律手段騷擾。社民連多名核心成員近年先後因政治案件被判囚。在2020年民主派立法會初選案中，梁國雄與岑子杰被控「串謀顛覆國家政權罪」，分別被判入獄六年九個月及四年三個月。岑子杰於今年五月底刑滿出獄，現年六十九歲的梁國雄則仍在囚，隨時面臨進一步延長刑期的風險。
(Hong Kong, 29 June 2025)—As Hong Kong enters the fifth year of the “post-National Security Law era,” a grave development was reported today: the League of Social Democrats (LSD), one of the city’s longest-established street-level democratic parties, was forced to announce its dissolution amid intense political pressure and security threats. This once again demonstrates that the Hong Kong government’s social transformation project carried out in the name of “national security” is continuing to suppress the space for public and democratic development in Hong Kong society.
The LSD’s dissolution is the result of the Hong Kong government’s comprehensive intervention in freedom of expression, association and assembly in the name of “national security.” It was reported that, over the past year, the LSD received repeated messages from Beijing warning that it must dissolve before 1 July, implying that it would otherwise face serious consequences.
The authorities’ use of the National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance as legal weapons, along with arbitrary convictions and indefinitely extended sentences, is no longer hypothetical but a visible reality. As documented in our Hong Kong Human Rights Report 2024, the LSD has for years been subjected to continual legal harassment. Several of its core members have been imprisoned in recent years in political cases. In the 2020 pro-democracy primary election case, Leung Kwok-hung and Jimmy Sham were charged with “conspiracy to subvert state power” and sentenced to six years and nine months’ imprisonment and four years and three months’ imprisonment, respectively. Jimmy Sham completed his sentence and was released from prison at the end of May this year. Leung Kwok-hung, now 69, remains imprisoned and faces the risk of a further extension of his sentence at any time.

League of Social Democrats dissolves | Chairperson Chan Po-ying weeps: “Forced to disband; I feel guilty in my heart”
「寧化飛灰，不作浮塵」、「沒有抗爭，哪有改變」、「濟弱扶傾，義無反顧」。這可能是社會民主連線，最後一次高呼抗議口號。上周三，有 19 年歷史的本港左翼政黨社會民主連線突傳出解散。社民連今午（29日）召開宣告解散記者會，正式交代決定。
社民連主席陳寶瑩表示，面對強大政治壓力，考慮各方因素，特別是對會員，同行者的影響，只能沉痛地宣佈解散。
多次被問及解散原因，陳寶瑩笑說：「我諗大家領會啦，𠵱家香港有好多嘢，都唔能夠畫公仔畫出腸」，她指這是可悲的情況，「好多嘢我唔方便講」。她又說，被逼解散，只能無奈地、沒辦法之下，是一個唯一的選擇。
“Better to turn to flying ash than become floating dust,” “Without protest, how can there be change?” and “Helping the weak and supporting those in difficulty, without hesitation.” These may be the final protest slogans shouted by the League of Social Democrats. Last Wednesday, the 19-year-old Hong Kong left-wing party suddenly announced that it would dissolve. The League of Social Democrats held a press conference this afternoon (29th) to formally explain the decision.
Chairperson Chan Po-ying said that, in the face of immense political pressure and after considering various factors—particularly the impact on members and fellow activists—the party could only announce its dissolution with great sorrow.
Asked repeatedly about the reason for the dissolution, Chan said with a smile: “I think everyone understands. There are many things in Hong Kong now that cannot be spelled out explicitly.” She said this was a tragic situation and that “there are many things I’m not in a position to say.” She also said that, having been forced to disband, dissolution was an unavoidable decision made with no alternative—the only choice available.

Sixth Anniversary of Leung Ling-kit’s Death; Members of Public Mourn Outside Pacific Place
今日是梁凌杰逝世六週年，不少市民到其身亡的地點金鐘太古廣場外悼念。入夜後警力明顯增強，現場約20名警員在場戒備，並有警員攝錄現場情況，不少前來悼念的市民被拉入封鎖線內搜身及記錄身份證。
《獨媒》記者在下午到場，太古廣場門外花圃放置了一束白色菊花及黃色雞蛋公仔，近下午4時，約5名便衣警員到場，向在場大批記者登記身份證及記者證，《獨媒》記者亦被抄錄住址，及後要求記者帶上證件識別。
Today marks the sixth anniversary of Leung Ling-kit’s death. Many members of the public went to mourn outside Pacific Place in Admiralty, where he died. Police presence increased noticeably after nightfall, with about 20 officers on standby at the scene. Officers also filmed the area, and several members of the public who came to mourn were taken inside the cordon for searches and identity-card details to be recorded.
A reporter from InMediaHK arrived in the afternoon. A bouquet of white chrysanthemums and a yellow egg-shaped toy had been placed in the flower bed outside Pacific Place. At around 4pm, about five plain-clothes officers arrived and recorded the identity-card and press-card details of the many reporters present. The InMediaHK reporter’s address was also copied down, and reporters were subsequently asked to wear identification badges.

June 4, 36｜Reconstructing how at least 37 people were arrested, taken to police stations, escorted away or stopped and questioned; activist recalls being recognised by police and “arrested and released immediately”
上周是六四 36 周年，警方指當日以「涉嫌破壞社會安寧」帶走十人，拘捕兩人。當晚這些市民為何要被帶返警署？《集誌社》整理警方當日截查市民的經過，及重訪部分被查人士，有人穿黑衣、有女生穿校服持白色花束均被帶走；部分過往曾被捕或被截查的人士，甫到達銅鑼灣或維園一帶，也即被帶走，如藝術家陳美彤前往維園游泳途中被記者追訪，即遭警截查帶上警車，社民連內務副主席余煒彬行經東角道，被警員認出後亦被帶返警署。他憶述警員稱「你太出名，可能好多記者圍埋嚟，會破壞社會安寧」。
此外，今年也有至少六人被警方「護送」搭車離開，包括富商劉公子、鳩嗚團「吳伯」等。《集誌社》向警方查詢，「護送」和帶走市民的理據和準則、被帶走人士具體破壞社會安寧的行為等，警方均沒有回應。
Last week marked the 36th anniversary of June 4. Police said they took 10 people away that day on suspicion of “breaching public peace” and arrested two. Why were these people taken to police stations that night? The Collective compiled accounts of police stopping and questioning people that day and revisited some of those questioned. People dressed in black, as well as a girl in a school uniform holding a bouquet of white flowers, were taken away. Some people who had previously been arrested or stopped and questioned were taken away immediately upon arriving in Causeway Bay or the area around Victoria Park. Artist Chan Mei-tung was stopped by police and taken into a police vehicle while reporters pursued her for an interview as she headed to Victoria Park to swim. The Social Democratic Party’s vice-chairman for internal affairs, Yu Wai-pan, was also taken back to a police station after officers recognised him as he walked along East Point Road. He recalled an officer saying, “You’re too famous. There may be a lot of reporters gathering around, which could breach public peace.”
In addition, at least six people were “escorted” by police onto vehicles to leave this year, including wealthy businessman Lau Kung-chi and "Gau wu" group, known as “Uncle Ng”. The Collective asked police about the grounds and criteria for “escorting” and taking people away, as well as the specific actions by those taken away that constituted a breach of public peace. Police did not respond.

China Labour Bulletin disbands; founded in Hong Kong by leader of 1989 workers’ movement
1994年由八九民運工運領袖韓東方在港創方的「中國勞工通訊」，昨日公告解散，稱資金短缺及負債下，公司已無法維持運作，網站即日起停止更新，其他社交媒體專頁亦已移除，稱「感謝大家的支持與理解」。
「中國勞工通訊」的網站，目前已無法瀏覽。根據備份紀錄，在其網站組織簡介中，「中國勞工通訊」稱是位於香港的非政府組織，致力於支持並推動中國工人運動。在國內層面，他們主要目標為促進中華全國總工會履行職責，鼓勵工人參與工會改革，使工會真正成為工人利益的代表者。在國際層面，「中國勞工通訊」稱會提供有關中國工人的最新可靠資訊，促進持久的國際團結。
China Labour Bulletin, founded in Hong Kong in 1994 by Han Dongfang, a leader of the 1989 pro-democracy and workers’ movements, announced its dissolution yesterday. It said that amid a funding shortfall and debts, it was no longer able to maintain operations. Its website would stop being updated from that day, while its other social media pages had also been removed. It said: “Thank you all for your support and understanding.”
The China Labour Bulletin website is currently inaccessible. According to archived records, its organisational profile described it as a Hong Kong-based non-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting the Chinese workers’ movement. Domestically, its main goals were to promote the All-China Federation of Trade Unions’ fulfilment of its responsibilities and encourage workers to participate in trade union reform, so that trade unions would genuinely represent workers’ interests. Internationally, China Labour Bulletin said it would provide the latest reliable information about Chinese workers and promote lasting international solidarity.

HKFS controversy | “General Meeting” press release announces immediate dissolution; representative Lai Cheuk-yin firmly clarifies that someone impersonated the organisation
新聞稿指無法保證款項得到有效監察 即日解散學聯
今日下午，有傳媒收到一份以「香港專上學生聯會緊急會員大會」為下款的新聞稿，內容指賴卓賢、吳泰霖等人，在六月四日被捕，涉嫌盜竊及串謀盜竊，又指兩人曾於 2023 年未經 「香港專上學生聯會」批准，向警務處牌照課申請，更改成為學聯負責人，及更改學聯名下銀行戶口簽名。
該份新聞稿指，兩人被捕，銀行一直未有聯消兩人在學聯戶口簽名，無法保證款項得到有效監察，決定由即日起解散「香港專上學生聯會」，向警方申請撤銷學聯的社團註冊，及將學聯的銀行款項捐給公益金。該新聞稿並附上周三下午三時召開「緊急會員大會議決案」的附件，下款為「香港專上學生聯會常務委員會全體委會」，及附上一份周刊，有關嶺大學生會成員被捕的報道。
A press release said that the funds could not be guaranteed to be effectively monitored and announced the immediate dissolution of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS). This afternoon, media outlets received a press release signed off as the “Emergency General Meeting of the Hong Kong Federation of Students”. It alleged that Lai Cheuk-yin, Ng Tai-lam and others had been arrested on 4 June on suspicion of theft and conspiracy to commit theft. It also alleged that, in 2023, the two had, without the HKFS’s approval, applied to the Police Licensing Office to change the persons responsible for the HKFS and to change the signatories to bank accounts held in the HKFS’s name. The press release said that, following their arrests, the bank had still not cancelled the two individuals’ signatures on the HKFS accounts, meaning that the funds could not be guaranteed to be effectively monitored. It therefore announced that the HKFS would be dissolved from that day, that an application would be made to the police to cancel its society registration, and that its bank funds would be donated to The Community Chest. The press release also attached a resolution from an “Emergency General Meeting” scheduled for 3pm on Wednesday, signed off as being from all members of the HKFS Standing Committee, as well as a weekly publication containing a report on the arrests of Lingnan University Students’ Union members. HKFS representative Lai Cheuk-yin firmly clarified that someone had impersonated the organisation.
