試用期公務員參與「非法公眾活動」即炒 林鄭月娥：作為僱主係大條道理
The Executive Council adjourned after July 7 and resumed early today (August 18), more than a month later. Before the meeting, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor spoke to reporters at length about the pandemic. She declined to comment directly on whether some legislators would boycott the “extension” of the Legislative Council, or on the police search of Apple Daily.

Lam said this was because, “as the employer, there is every reason not to employ them again.”

Legal Aid Department Says Police Use of Force Was Reasonable and Rejects Application; Tsuen Wan Student Shot: “Clearly Political”—Disappointed and Angry
法援署稱警方武力合理 拒批出法援 荃灣中槍學生：明顯涉政治因素 感失望憤怒
On 1 October last year, clashes between police and members of the public broke out in multiple districts across Hong Kong. Form Five student Tsang Chi Kin Tsang Chi-kin was shot in the left chest with a live round by police on Tai Ho Road in Tsuen Wan and was once in critical condition. He has now basically recovered and earlier filed a personal injury claim over the shooting. Former Demosisto secretary-general Joshua Wong disclosed today (14th) that the Legal Aid Department had rejected his legal aid application. The reasons stated: “The Department considers that the force used by the police against you at the relevant time was reasonable” (see related report). Tsang Chi-kin responded through a third party that he was “disappointed and angry” that the department had rejected his application, questioning whether the decision was political and criticising the Legal Aid Department for reaching a verdict before hearing the case.

District Councillor’s Office Used for Strike Referendum and Primary; More Than HK$60,000 in Two Months’ Allowances Withheld
區議員借議辦搞罷工公投、初選 兩個月逾六萬元津貼被抽起
It is understood that the monthly allowances of several district councillors who lent their offices as polling stations for the pro-democracy camp’s primary have been withheld. Eastern District Councillor Kwok Chi-chung told InMedia that he lent his office as a polling station for the strike referendum on the 20th of last month and for the pro-democracy camp’s primary on the 11th and 12th of this month. Just two weeks after the primary ended, he was penalised after the fact, with more than HK$60,000 in district councillor allowances for two months withheld. Kwok criticised the government for deducting the entire month’s allowance in a blanket manner, asking, “Does that mean I did not serve residents on the other 28 days?” He also asked, “Then how can the pro-establishment camp organise a petition supporting the National Security Law?”

Police enter PolyU student union office and seize five computers; warrant covering entire campus expires at month-end
警闖理大學生會室檢走5台電腦 搜查令遍及全校月底屆滿
During clashes between police and protesters at PolyU on November 17 last year, a protester injured a police officer from the media liaison team with a bow and arrow at the junction of Chatham Road and Austin Road. Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the case. At noon today (July 17), police entered the PolyU campus and presented a search warrant requesting access to the student union office. The union refused to open the door, and police entered with the university’s assistance. After searching for an hour, they took away five computers as evidence. PolyU Students’ Union president Michael Chi Ho Ng expressed dissatisfaction with the operation and questioned the warrant’s “weak legal basis”, saying it covered the entire PolyU campus and would not expire until the end of the month. Pressed repeatedly on whether the search was related to the arrow-shooting case, Michael Chi Ho Ng firmly refused to disclose details, saying the case was under investigation and that inquiries should be directed to the police.
