學校收「教育局」傳真籲支持移除李小龍銅像 教育局：與局方無關
A social media page cited reports that several schools had received a 12-page fax issued in the name of the Education Bureau, which included an appeal for schools to “support the removal of the black-violence spiritual idol—the Bruce Lee statue—on the Avenue of Stars.” The page said the fax’s cover page bore the heading “Education Bureau 教育局”. The Education Bureau clarified in the evening that the “document” was completely unrelated to it and had notified schools that they need not take notice of it. It said it was concerned about the damage caused to the bureau and the nuisance caused to schools, and was seriously following up on the matter. If any illegal conduct was found to be involved, it would refer the matter to law-enforcement authorities for handling in accordance with the law.
有社交平台專頁引述指，多間學校收到以「教育局」名義發出的傳真文件，12頁內容中有提及呼籲學校「支持移除星光大道上的黑暴精神偶像-李小龍銅像。」專頁稱，該傳真的封面頁抬頭有「教育局Education Bureau」字樣。
教育局晚上澄清指，有關「文件」與局方完全無關，已通知學校無需理會，並關注事件對局方造成損害及對學校造成困擾，正嚴肅跟進，如發現涉及違法行為，將交執法部門依法處理。

記協活動接二連三被取消 形容非巧合：香港人都唔係傻嘅
The Hong Kong Journalists Association was due to hold its anniversary fundraising spring banquet tomorrow evening, but was notified by the Regal Hongkong Hotel in Causeway Bay last night that the booking had been cancelled. Association chairwoman Cheng Ka-yu told reporters that the hotel initially said there had been a small explosion, but later changed its explanation to water leakage on a floor, which had caused serious damage to the electricity supply and disrupted and destabilised power on basement levels B1 and B2. On the repeated cancellation of association events, Cheng said Hong Kong people were very smart and would not believe that the cancellations occurring one after another were merely a “coincidence”: “Hong Kong people aren’t fools.” She said someone intended to prevent association members from taking part in eating, drinking and recreational activities.
The fundraising spring banquet was originally to be held in two function rooms on basement level B1 of the Regal Hongkong Hotel in Causeway Bay, with capacity for about 200 people. Cheng briefed reporters this evening, saying the association had been notified by the hotel yesterday. The hotel said in the afternoon that there had been a small explosion, but by the evening said there was water leakage on a floor, causing serious damage to the electricity supply and interrupting and destabilising power on basement levels B1 and B2. It had arranged for outsourced personnel to carry out emergency repairs and showed the association relevant photographs, but the photographs were not of the floor where the spring banquet was to be held. The association proposed postponing the event, changing the menu or even not serving food, but all the proposals were rejected.
記協原定明晚舉行周年籌款春茗，惟昨晚收到銅鑼灣富豪香港酒店通知取消預訂。記協主席鄭嘉如對記者表示，酒店初時更一度稱發生小型爆炸，及後改稱樓層漏水，導致電力嚴重損壞，令地庫B1及B2層電力供應中斷及不穩。對於記協活動接二連三被取消，鄭嘉如指香港市民很聰明，不會相信記協活動接二連三巧合地被取消為「巧合」，「香港人都唔係傻嘅」，指有人意圖令記協會員未能參與吃喝玩樂的活動。
籌款春茗原定在銅鑼灣富豪香港酒店地庫B1層的兩間宴會室進行，場地可容納約200人。鄭嘉如今日傍晚向記者交代詳情，指記協昨日接獲酒店通知，對方下午稱表示發生小型爆炸，至晚上就改稱有樓層漏水，導致電力嚴重損壞，令地庫B1、B2層電力供應中斷及不穩，已安排外判人員搶修，又向記協展示相關照片，但照片並非舉行春茗的樓層。記協曾提出改期、轉換菜式甚至不用餐，但均遭對方拒絕。

記協春茗｜酒店「電力不穩」取消預訂 現場直擊燈火通明、情人節聚會如常舉行
The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) had planned to hold a fundraising spring gathering banquet tomorrow (15th) at the Regal Hongkong Hotel to raise funds for its operations in the coming year. The HKJA notified ticket holders this afternoon that the hotel had informed it yesterday evening that its booking had to be cancelled because of “water leakage on a floor, which led to a temporary interruption and instability in the power supply”. The banquet will be rescheduled for 24 February at another hotel.
The HKJA said hotel staff initially reported a “minor explosion” before changing their explanation to water leakage on a floor causing unstable power. The hotel rejected proposed contingency arrangements, including rescheduling the event or changing the banquet hall or menu, and the HKJA has asked for a more detailed explanation. Reporters from The Collective visited the hotel today and found that its power supply was normal and the lights in the lobby were on. Power was also normal on the B1 floor where the spring gathering had been scheduled; one of the banquet halls was hosting a Valentine’s Day gathering that evening.
香港記者協會（記協）原訂於明天（15日）於富豪香港酒店舉行春茗籌款晚宴，為記協籌募來年經費。記協今午通知已購票的人士，指昨日傍晚收到酒店方通知，因為「樓層漏水、導致電力供應一度中斷及不穩」，要取消其預訂，晚宴將改期至 2 月 24 日於另一酒店舉行。
記協指酒店職員最初曾指發生「小型爆炸」，後改口稱樓層漏水致電力不穩，即使向對方提出應變方案，如改期、更改宴會廳或菜單等，皆被拒絕，已要求對方作更詳細解釋。《集誌社》記者今日到酒店現場視察，酒店電力正常，大堂亮起燈飾，而原訂舉行春茗的 B1 樓層亦電力正常，其中一個宴會廳，今晚正在舉行情人節聚會。

《大學線》報道關愛隊後惹關注 記協：中大教職員遭系統性攻撃 跟去年滋擾記者用戶相同
Varsity, a student-run internship media outlet of CUHK’s School of Journalism and Communication, published a report titled “None of Our ‘Care’” earlier this month examining the effectiveness of Care Teams. It noted, among other things, that the teams’ work and financial reports were not made public and could not be accessed by the public. Students also used hidden cameras to film activities and subsequently questioned volunteers as well as officials from the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said in a survey released yesterday (the 26th) that, four days after the report was published on 3 January, a series of posts and images targeting Varsity, the relevant institution and its staff appeared on Facebook. The posts accused Varsity’s report of generalising from limited information and taking statements out of context, and alleged that CUHK School of Journalism and Communication staff responsible for Varsity were supporters or instigators of “black violence”. The association also said that, in the action targeting Varsity, the users who published at least two of the earliest posts were the same users who posted to harass journalists last year.
中大新聞與傳播學院學生實習媒體《大學線》在月初發表〈事不「關」己〉報道，探討關愛隊工作成效，包括指出關愛隊工作及財務報告並不公開，公眾無法查閱；學生亦曾經以隱蔽鏡頭拍攝活動過程，事後向義工、以及民政及青年事務局官員查詢。香港記者協會昨（26 日）發表調查，指報道在 1 月 3 日出街後四日，Facebook 出現一系列針對《大學線》、相關院校及教職員的帖文和圖片，帖文指責《大學線》報道以偏概全、斷章取義等，又指控負責《大學線》的中大新聞及傳播學院教職員為「黑暴」支持者或推手。記協並指，在今次針對《大學線》的行動中，至少兩個最早出現的帖文，其發表者跟去年發帖滋擾記者的用戶相同。

記者遭起底 私隱專員指事主無提供資料「無辦法跟進落去」
The Hong Kong Journalists Association published a survey last September saying that dozens of journalists and their family members had been harassed to varying degrees, including through illegal doxxing and the subsequent mailing of doxxing information to neighbours or companies. Privacy Commissioner Ada Chung said last year that she had received related complaints and would follow them up seriously. However, at a press conference today summarising the office’s work over the past year, she said that of the two complaints received, one had been referred to the police, while in the other case the complainant had provided no further information. She said there was "no way to follow it up further".
記協去年9月發布調查，指有數十名記者和家人遭不同程度滋擾，當中涉及非法起底、再將起底資料寄去鄰居或公司。私隱專員鍾麗玲去年表示接獲相關投訴，並稱會嚴肅跟進。不過她今日在總結年度工作記者會表示，接獲的兩宗投訴，其中一宗轉介予警方，另一個案，公署稱投訴人再無提供進一步資料，她表示「無辦法再跟進落去」。

鍾劍華成立「海內外民研」 將進行民調圍繞六四、身份認同等
After the National Security Department offered a HK$1 million bounty last month for the arrest of Chung Kim-wah, former deputy chief executive of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, police over the past two days separately “invited” his former partner, Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute chairman Chung Ting-yiu, and Chung Kim-wah’s wife and children, who remain in Hong Kong, to assist with an investigation at a police station. Following these actions, Chung Kim-wah announced as scheduled on Tuesday evening (the 14th) the establishment of the “Hong Kong People’s Opinion Research Project at Home and Abroad”. He said it would conduct about 10 public opinion research projects, with provisional topics including “Hong Kong people’s identity”, “the rule of law”, “social policy”, “freedom” and “the June 4 Incident”.
Chung urged Hong Kong people in different places to register to participate in the project, including those who have moved overseas and those still in Hong Kong, saying he “hopes to continue presenting Hong Kong people’s public opinion on a public platform”. He also stressed that the project has no connection with the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, would not disclose its funding sources, and involved no political party or organisation.
警方國安處上月懸紅100萬通緝前香港民意研究所副行政總裁鍾劍華，又在過去兩日先後「邀請」其前拍檔、香港民研主席鍾庭耀，以及仍在港的鍾劍華妻兒到警署協助調查。在連串行動後，鍾劍華按原定計劃，周二（14日）晚上宣布成立「海內外香港人民意研究計劃」，稱將進行約10個民意調查計劃，暫定題目圍繞「香港人身份認同」、「法治」、「社會政策」、「自由」、「六四事件」等。
鍾呼籲各地香港人登記參與計劃，包括移居海外及仍在香港的人，「希望將香港人嘅民意繼續喺一個公共平台呈現」。他亦強調，計劃與香港民研沒有任何連聯繫，也不會公開資金來源，沒有任何政黨或組織參與。

獨立敍事讀物節被主辦方要求移除部分創作人的攤位及內容
The organisers said they were suddenly notified today by the venue operator that some creators’ booths and content had to be removed from this year’s Independent Narrative Publications Festival, or the entire event could be cancelled, but no specific reason for the request was provided.
The group, which is committed to promoting independent publishing, said it was deeply saddened. It said it had complied with the requirements of government departments and, during the early planning stage, had submitted details of the event and the exhibitor list to relevant parties, including the venue operator, to ensure that the event could proceed smoothly and provide local creators with a small space to breathe. Preparations had progressed relatively smoothly with the support and cooperation of participating organisations and staff from different departments, making the notification received suddenly on the day before the event a shock to the organisers.
After making enquiries with various parties, the organisers said they learned that the request had been made independently by the venue operator out of caution, while the relevant government department handling the entertainment licence application had raised no objection to the final exhibitor list submitted by the organisers.
The organisers said the event’s ability to proceed depended on the venue, and that the venue operator’s request, made at such short notice, had undermined the trust underpinning mutually beneficial cooperation. They expressed deep regret and apologised profusely to the affected creators and readers.
After repeated negotiations, this year’s Independent Narrative Publications Festival will still be held as scheduled, with the aim of enabling the maximum number of creators to participate in the exhibition.
今天突然收到場地營運機構的通知，要求我們將部分創作人的攤位及內容從本屆獨立敍事讀物節中移除，否則整個活動將面臨取消，但卻未能提供確切要求我們這樣做的原因。
我們作為致力推廣獨立出版的團體，實在對此非常難過。
我們一直依法配合各政府部門的要求，亦在早期籌備階段向各相關單位包括場地營運機構提交活動內容的各項資料及參展名單，務求令活動可以順利舉行，讓本地創作人仍有一個可以呼吸的細小空間。一直以來多得參展組織及不同部門同事的支持和配合，進展尚算順利。因此在活動前一天突然收到這樣的通知，對我們主辦方來說很是震驚。
經過多方確認後，我們得知此乃場地營運方為保守起見而獨自提出的要求；而處理娛樂牌照申請的相關政府部門對我們最後提交的參展名單其實並無提出異議。
活動可否順利舉行依賴於場地，場地營運機構在如此倉卒的情況下提出要求，無疑是打破了大家之間互利合作的信任，我們對此深感遺憾，亦在此對受影響的創作人及讀者致以萬分謙意。
經過多番交涉後，本屆獨立敍事讀物節仍會如期舉行，以保障最多創作人能參與展出為目標。

記協足球賽遭傑志取消租用場地 記協主席質疑違反契約精神
The Hong Kong Journalists Association had planned to hold the HKJA Cup football tournament over two consecutive Saturdays, but the venue was suddenly cancelled and the matches had to be postponed. The tournament had originally rented pitches at the Jockey Club Kitchee Centre in Shek Mun, Sha Tin. HKJA chair Cheng Ka-yu said she was notified by Kitchee today that the venue rental had been cancelled, but the organisation had not explained why. She questioned whether Kitchee had breached the spirit of the contract, saying: “We paid real money to rent the pitch from you; if you’re cancelling, you should at least say why.” The Independent Media has contacted Kitchee for details.
香港記者協會原定連續兩個周六，舉行記協盃足球賽，但場地突然遭到取消需要押後。賽事原本租用位於沙田石門的賽馬會傑志中心的球場，記協主席鄭嘉如指，今日接獲傑志通知取消租用，指對方在取消租用場地後，未有向記協交代原因，質疑對方違反契約精神：「真金白銀同你租場， cancel都要講點解啩。」《獨媒》已向傑志查詢詳情。
