《如水》網站香港境內「復活」 無國界記者助建鏡像網站
The Flow HK magazine website, founded by Hongkongers overseas, has been inaccessible in Hong Kong since the 4th of last month. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) restored access to the website in Hong Kong last Thursday (the 31st) using mirror-site technology. RSF told The Initium that it strongly condemned the Hong Kong government’s blocking of the Flow HK website, saying the move repeated strategies previously adopted by the Chinese Communist regime and further worsened press freedom in Hong Kong and Hongkongers’ right to access independent and reliable information.
由海外港人創辦的《如水》（Flow HK）雜誌網站，上月4日起未能在香港瀏覽，無國界記者組織（RSF）於上周四（31日）以鏡像網站技術恢復該網站於香港境內的瀏覽權。RSF向《光傳媒》表示，嚴厲譴責港府封鎖《如水》網站，此舉重複中共政權過去採取的策略，更令香港新聞自由和港人獲取獨立可靠資訊權進一步惡化。

Save HK發起投訴無綫新節目《戰場上》偏頗 不滿「散播烏克蘭是戰爭受害者」
TVB’s Jade channel aired the new programme “On the Battlefield” last night. The first episode focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and interviewed Ukrainians making a living on their own during the war. However, members of the Facebook group Save HK accused host Lai Chi-shan of being misleading and questioned whether the programme was biased and had a predetermined stance, particularly because it focused on Ukraine’s side and promoted the message that Ukraine is a victim of war. They said they had lodged complaints with TVB, the Communications Authority and other bodies.
無綫電視翡翠台昨晚播出新節目《戰場上》，首集以俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭為主題，訪問在戰爭中自力更生的烏克蘭人民。然而，Facebook 群組 Save HK 網民不滿主持人黎芷珊誤導，質疑節目偏頗、有既定立場，尤其側重烏克蘭一方，及「散播烏克蘭是戰爭受害者」的訊息，稱已發起向無綫、通訊事務管理局等投訴。

記協投訴兩電視台播鄧炳強「記協無認受性」論 通訊局指證據不足 「觀眾應不會認為需提供回應機會」
Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung publicly said in an interview earlier this year that the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) had no legitimacy and regarded anyone as a journalist. In February this year, the HKJA complained to the Communications Authority that TVB News and Now News had broadcast Tang’s remarks without seeking a response from the association or carrying supplementary coverage of its reply. The HKJA said the authority had rejected the complaint, stating that it considered neither television station to have breached the relevant requirements.
Tang made the remarks in response to why the HKJA was not included in the consultation on legislation for Article 23. He said the HKJA lacked legitimacy, citing as examples its allegedly treating a 13-year-old boy, a person who used foul language throughout, and a person who pointed a camera at an on-duty female police officer and made comments about her as professional journalists. The HKJA responded that day that it had never considered those people to be “professional journalists”. TVB News and Now’s live news channel both broadcast Tang’s remarks. The HKJA complained that the two reports did not contact it for a response before the live and rebroadcast reports, and did not provide supplementary coverage after the HKJA published its reply, in breach of the Television Programme Code.
保安局長鄧炳強年初曾於受訪時公開指香港記者協會無認受性，視任何人均為記者。香港記者協會今年2月曾向通訊事務管理局投訴，指無綫新聞台、Now新聞台播放鄧炳強相關言論時，未有尋求記協回應或補充報道記協回覆。記協透露通訊局不接納投訴，稱通訊局認為兩間電視台並未違反相關規定。
鄧炳強當日回應為何23條立法諮詢不包括記協，鄧當時指記協不具認受性，舉例指記協將13歲少年、滿口粗言者，以及用鏡頭對著執勤女警評頭品足者都當成專業記者。記協當日已回應稱從不認為有關人士是「專業記者」。無綫新聞台及Now直播台均有播出鄧炳強的言論，記協投訴指，兩則報道在直播、轉播報道前未聯絡記協索取回應，而且在記協刊出回應後，亦未作補充報道，違反《電視通用業務守則》。

元朗721五年｜「調頭警」身份成大忌？ Facebook對港封鎖《教育刺針》帖文 YouTube下架
Hans Yeung Wing-yu, a former manager of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority’s history subject, who manages the Facebook page Education Stinger, published a post at UK time on 1 September revealing the identities of the “721 turn-head police officers”. One of them was Lai Ho-him, a graduate of the Hong Kong Open University, now renamed Hong Kong Metropolitan University, who served as an auxiliary police officer while studying. The Witness subsequently followed up with a report and interviewed Hans Yeung Wing-yu, and uploaded the interview video to The Witness’s YouTube channel. However, reports related to the identities of the “turn-head police officers” were blocked by Facebook and YouTube respectively. From the 8th of this month, Facebook prohibited users in Hong Kong from viewing the post titled “721 Turn-Head Police Officer Identities” on the Education Stinger page. On the 27th of last month, YouTube removed The Witness’s follow-up interview video on the basis of a “privacy complaint”. The Witness has appealed to YouTube over the matter, but as of Monday (21st) had still received no reply.
由香港考評局前經理（歷史科）楊穎宇管理Facebook《教育刺針》專頁英國時間9月1日發帖，揭露「721調頭警」察身份，，其中一人為香港公開大學（現已易名「香港都會大學」）的畢業生黎浩謙，在學期間擔任輔警，《追新聞》隨後作出跟進報道訪問楊穎宇，並在YouTube《追新聞》頻道上載訪問片。不過，「調頭警」身份相關報道分別被Facebook及YouTube封禁。Facebook本月8日起禁止香港用戶瀏覽《教育刺針》專頁《721調頭警身份》帖文；YouTube上月27日則基於「隱私權申訴」，將《追新聞》跟進訪問影片移除，《追新聞》已就相關情況向YouTube上訴，但截至周一（21日）仍未獲回覆。

【雙十節】警方屯門紅樓外設「核心保安區」 不准接近
Today is Double Tenth Day. In the past, pro-Taiwan groups regularly held commemorative activities at Castle Peak Red House in Tuen Mun’s Sun Yat Sen Park. Such activities have disappeared in recent years, while police have also deployed officers to stand guard on Double Tenth Day. Reporters from Independent Media visited the site this morning (October 10) and found dozens of police officers stationed there. Officers at the scene said the Red House was on “private premises” and that a “core security area” had been established, prohibiting reporters from approaching. The reporters were stopped and checked by police twice.
At around 10 a.m. this morning, more than 20 uniformed police officers were stationed separately at the footbridge and the entrance to Sun Yat Sen Park. Officers also patrolled and stopped and checked members of the public at the nearby Butterfly Light Rail station. A police van and a “tactical bus” were also parked nearby on standby.
今日為「雙十節」，過往一直有親台團體到位於屯門中山公園內的青山紅樓舉行紀念活動。不過活動近年絕跡，警方亦於雙十節當日派員駐守。《獨媒》記者今早（10月10日）到場視察，有數十名警員駐守，在場警員指紅樓位置為「私人地方」，亦已設立「核心保安區」，禁止記者前往。
記者遭警員兩度截查
《獨媒》記者今早約10時到場，逾20名軍裝警員分別在天橋及中山公園入口駐守，亦在類近的輕鐵蝴蝶站巡邏和截查市民，附近亦有一輛警察衝鋒車及「戰術巴士」停泊戒備。

香港疑首封新聞網站《如水》雜誌 主編：行為極不合理
Hong Kong has moved further towards mainlandisation, with another website blocked. Flow HK, a magazine founded in January 2021 by Hongkongers in exile overseas, is suspected of having been blocked by the Hong Kong government, making it the first media website blocked by the government. Flow HK editor-in-chief Cheung Kwan-yeung said, “We will not be intimidated by this.”

華服賀國慶｜拒「非受邀媒體」入場 門外取票市民被要求簽「同意書」
The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department are holding a series of events to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, including “Thousands in Chinese Attire Celebrate National Day” at Queen Elizabeth Stadium tonight (4th). However, not everyone could “celebrate National Day”: staff at the scene said The Collective was “non-invited media” and could not enter to cover the event, and refused to allow reporters to enter as members of the public on the grounds that the venue was “very full”. Before the event began, however, someone outside the venue was distributing a large stack of tickets and requiring recipients to sign a “consent form”.
文體旅局及康文署為慶祝國慶 75 周年舉行一系列活動，包括今晚（4日）於伊館舉辦的「千人華服賀國慶」。不過非人人都能「賀國慶」，現場工作稱《集誌社》「非受邀媒體」，不能進場採訪，又以場地「很爆」為由拒絕記者以公眾身分入場。不過活動開始前，場館外有人手持大疊門票派發，又要求領票者簽署「同意書」。

鄧炳強去信《明報》 指吳靄儀專欄「英雄化」鍾沛權
Former Legislative Council member Margaret Ng published an article titled “Supporting Kuen” in Ming Pao’s supplement yesterday, discussing former Stand News editor-in-chief Chung Pui-kuen, who was sentenced to 21 months in prison for conspiracy to publish seditious publications. She said Chung had refused to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence and had instead chosen to make clear his beliefs about journalism. Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung wrote to Ming Pao that evening, describing the article as “discussing the Stand News case in a roundabout manner, using indirect insinuations” and “heroising” Chung Pui-kuen.
前立法會議員吳靄儀昨日在《明報》副刊刊出題為《權撐住》文章，談及因「串謀發布煽動刊物」被判監21個月的前《立場新聞》總編輯鍾沛權，指對方不肯認罪以換取減刑，而選擇說清楚新聞工作的信念。保安局局長鄧炳強即晚去信《明報》，形容其為「以拐彎抹角、指桑罵槐的方式談論《立場新聞》案」，並「英雄化」鍾沛權。

列斯手足連線遭YouTube刪頻道 港援籲曼城集會Facebook帖文被下架
The UK-based Leeds Hongkongers’ Solidarity Network and Hong Kong Aid separately reported on Tuesday (1 October) that their social media content had been suppressed. The Leeds group’s YouTube channel was removed, while Hong Kong Aid’s Facebook post calling for a 1 October rally in Manchester disappeared. Chloe of the Leeds group told The Chaser: “We absolutely believe that this time, the Chinese or Hong Kong governments are systematically attacking us.” Hong Kong Aid said: “This is the first time there have been signs that their censorship may be working with the Chinese Communist Party to ‘clear the ground’ ahead of its anniversary celebrations.”
英國港人組織「列斯手足連線」、港援（Hong Kong Aid）周二（1日）分別報告，組織社媒內容受到封殺。列斯手足連線的YouTube頻道被移除，而港援在Facebook宣傳曼徹斯特10月1日的集會的呼籲帖文被消失。列斯手足連線Chloe接受《追新聞》訪問時表示：「我哋絕對相信今次係中國或香港政府係有系統性地攻擊我哋。」港援則指：「第一次有迹象顯示佢哋嘅審查疑似配合中共慶日提前『洗太平地』。」

【傘後十年】圖書館下架至少廿本傘運書 剩「反佔中」書、英文學術書等【傘後十年】圖書館下架至少廿本傘運書 剩「反佔中」書、英文學術書等
After the National Security Law came into effect, public libraries under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department removed items from their collections on multiple occasions, saying they might endanger national security. The Independent Media reviewed the records and found that at least 21 books related to the Umbrella Movement had been removed, including works by the “Occupy Central Trio” and interview records of movement participants. Searching for the term “Occupy Central” now shows that the related books still available are mostly collections by pro-establishment figures opposing Occupy Central, editorials published by pro-Beijing media, and English-language academic books.
《國安法》實施後，康文署轄下公共圖書館多次下架館藏，指有可能危害國家安全。《獨媒》翻查資料，統計至少21本涉雨傘運動的書籍已下架，包括「佔中三子」著作、傘運參與者的訪問紀錄等；若以「佔中」字眼搜索，目前仍在架上的相關書籍多為建制派反對「佔中」的文集或由親中媒體出版的社論，以及英文學術書籍等。
