廢私飯｜供應商員工去信立法會訴苦：未定罪沒人權？有冇考慮過食店感受？
On Thursday morning (the 10th), torrential rain fell as employees of a restaurant providing “private meals” to remand prisoners carried box after box out to the road and loaded them into private cars. The day-to-day operation of restaurants providing such meals may end when the government revises the Prison Rules. An employee of a “private meal” restaurant recently emailed the Legislative Council to complain, saying that abolishing the meals could lead to staff redundancies. The employee called officials’ suggestion that “private meals” could conceal contraband “absurd”, and said that some families had already paid through September. Restaurants need to arrange staff and ingredients, but the lack of a specific implementation date for the policy makes it difficult for them to plan.
星期四（ 10 日）早上，天空下起滂沱大雨，一間有為候審在囚人士提供「私飯」的餐廳，員工冒雨將一箱箱推到馬路，再搬上私家車。這種提供「私飯」餐廳的運作日常，或隨政府修訂《監獄規則》而告終。有「私飯」餐廳店員，近日寫電郵到立法會申訴，指廢「私飯」可能導致餐廳裁員，認為官員指「私飯」可能藏有違禁品的說法「荒唐」，並指有家屬已付了錢到九月，食肆要安排人手及食材，政策仍欠缺具體實施日期，令餐廳難以預計。

提前停課｜政府「超前部署」天氣不似預期 陳國基：寧安全、莫後悔
Affected by the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Danas, many parts of Hong Kong experienced heavy rain yesterday (10th). The Steering Committee on Response to Extreme Weather, led by the Chief Secretary for Administration, said yesterday that weather conditions were expected to remain severe today (11th). To ensure students’ safety, and given that schools across Hong Kong had gradually begun their summer holidays and that class suspension would have relatively little practical impact on students’ learning and teaching, the Education Bureau announced that all day schools would suspend classes on Friday. As a result, the Secondary One admission registration originally scheduled for today was postponed until next Monday, while the schedules for post-examination activities and school closing ceremonies at many schools were also affected.
This morning, the weather was overcast without strong winds or heavy rain, and conditions were somewhat hot and stuffy, with no sign of severe weather. The decision to suspend classes prompted questions. At noon, Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki, who leads the committee, explained the “difficult decision” on social media, saying that “even if it means doing more, it is better to err on the side of safety than regret it.”
受熱帶氣旋丹娜絲殘餘影響，香港昨日（10日）多區暴雨。由政務司司長領導的應對極端天氣督導委員會昨表示，預計今日（ 11 日）天氣會持續惡劣，為確保學生安全，考慮到全港學校已陸續放暑假，停課對學生學與教實際影響較少，教育局宣布所有日校周五停課。停課決定下，原定今日進行的中一入學註冊要延期下周一，不少學校的試後活動和結業禮日程亦受影響。
今日早上，天陰無大風雨，有點翳焗，未見嚴峻惡劣天氣。停課決定惹來質疑，領導委員會的政務司司長陳國基中午在社交平台解釋「艱難的決定」，指「哪怕做多」都應「寧安全、莫後悔」。

百度擬數碼港試自動車 逐步申加碼
Baidu, which received the Transport Department’s first pilot licence for autonomous vehicles at the end of last year, received Cyberport’s support in March to arrange tests of two autonomous vehicles on designated routes, including Information Avenue and Cyberport Road, in Cyberport Phases 1, 2 and 3. Baidu said that during the tests, a backup operator with at least 10 years of driving experience and who had completed no fewer than 100 hours of full-time driving training provided by Baidu would monitor the vehicle’s operation and road conditions throughout, and take control when necessary to ensure safety. As further validation is obtained from testing in the area, Baidu will subsequently apply progressively to increase the number of test vehicles on Cyberport road sections.
The test route starts at Cyberport 1, runs along Information Avenue, turns left onto Cyberport Road after passing Le Méridien Hong Kong, Cyberport, then turns left back onto Information Avenue after passing near Area A of Cyberport 3, and continues in a loop. There are two stopping points along the route: the starting point and a lay-by at the Cyberport Arcade. The sections from the entrance and exit of the Cyberport car park to the starting point, the lay-by at the Cyberport Arcade, and the section from Cyberport 2 back to the car park entrance and exit may operate in manual mode.
去年底獲運輸署批出首個自動駕駛車輛（自動車）先導牌照的百度，今年3月獲數碼港支持，擬在數碼港園區1、2及3期安排兩台自動車在資訊道及數碼港道等指定路線測試。百度稱，測試期間車上會有一名最少10年以上駕駛經驗、並完成其提供不少於100小時的全職駕駛培訓的後備操作員，全程監控行車及路面情况，必要時接管車輛以確保安全。隨着在區內測試獲更多驗證，百度及後將逐步申請增加在數碼港路段的測試車輛數目。
配後備操作員 部分路段轉手動
自動車測試路線以數碼港1座為起點，沿資訊道行駛，經數碼港艾美酒店後左轉數碼港道，至駛經數碼港3座A區附近再左轉回資訊道，循環行駛。測試路線範圍有兩處停車點，包括路線起點及數碼港商場避車處；數碼港停車場出入口至起點、商場避車處及數碼港2座回停車場出入口的路段可用手動模式運作。

膳心倒數｜宣布 7.13 為最後營業日：已盡力，已不容許說太多
The social enterprise restaurant Agape Garden, which has operated near Shek Kip Mei Estate for nearly five years, is reportedly facing a renewal arrangement with the Housing Authority that was “first suspended, then terminated”, and has been asked to return the premises by July 14. After receiving complaints from five Legislative Council members, a meeting with the Housing Authority was scheduled for Monday (July 7), but was cancelled after the authority declined to send representatives.
Agape Garden announced on Facebook this morning (July 10) that its final day of business would be this Sunday (July 13), saying: “Sorry, we have done our best; we are no longer allowed to say much.” Mr Lam, the person in charge, also said that he received a letter from the outsourced management company on Tuesday concerning the restoration of the premises. As Agape Garden had not arranged an inspection of the premises with the Housing Authority, the management office made a preliminary estimate for restoration based on the premises’ renovation plans. It said that if Agape Garden was unable to complete the restoration works and return the premises by the lease expiry date, it would have to pay about $57,000 based on the estimate. He was concerned that further charges or additional expenses might arise later, and described the situation as “taking it one step at a time”.
在石硤尾邨近五年的社企餐廳「膳心小館」，涉被房署「先暫緩、後終止」續約，要求其於 7 月 14 日或之前交吉。五名立法會議員接申訴後，原定周一（7日）與房署會面，但房署拒派代表致會議取消。
膳心小館今早（10日）於 Facebook 發文，正式公布最後營業日為本周日（13日），又謂「對不起，我們已盡力，已不容許說太多。」負責人林先生另表示，於周二收到外判管理公司「還原單位事宜」信件，指由於膳心未安排與房署檢查單位，管理處按單位裝修圖則作還原初步估價，指如膳心未能在租約屆滿日完成還原工程交吉，需按估價繳付約 5.7 萬元，他擔心日後如要繳費或包括更多開支，形容目前「見步行步」。

港府擬收緊電話卡實名制 每間電訊商儲值卡上限由 10 張大減至 3 張 通訊辦：對市民無重大影響
The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau submitted a paper to the Legislative Council today (8th), proposing tighter real-name registration requirements for SIM cards. Under the proposal, the maximum number of prepaid SIM cards each user may register with each telecom operator would be sharply reduced from the current 10 to three. New offences would also be created to combat the buying, selling, lending, borrowing or possession of SIM cards registered to other people. The Government plans to submit an amendment bill to the Legislative Council in 2026.
商務及經濟發展局今日（8 日）向立法會提交文件，建議收緊電話卡實名制。根據方案，每名用戶在每間電訊商可登記的電話儲值卡上限，由現時的 10 張大幅減至 3 張，同時訂立新罪行，打擊買賣、借用或管有他人登記的電話卡，計劃於 2026 年向立法會提交修例草案。

監獄規則｜鄧炳強指廢私飯防三風險：防止特權、偷運違禁品、確保衞生
The government is amending the Prison Rules under a “enact first, scrutinise later” process, proposing to empower the Correctional Services Department to restrict prisoners’ visits and meetings with lawyers for purposes including safeguarding national security, and to abolish the “private meals” system. The Legislative Council’s Panel on Security discussed the proposed amendments today (7th). The Security Bureau proposed that if correctional officers reasonably believe that a prisoner’s communication with a relevant legal representative would endanger national security, they may apply to the court for a warrant to restrict their meetings and communications.
政府以「先訂立，後審議」修訂《監獄規則》，建議賦權懲教署可為維護國家安全等目的，限制在囚人士探訪、見律師，及廢除「私飯」制度等。立法會保安事務委員會今（7日）討論有關修例。保安局建議，若懲教人員合理相信在囚人士與相關法律代表聯繫將危害國安，可向法庭申請手令，限制雙方會晤及通訊。

01消息｜八個字改變網約車命運：必須站在人民一邊 特首一錘定音
After 11 years of disputes and delays, the Transport and Logistics Bureau may issue a consultation framework on the “legalisation of ride-hailing services” later this month at the earliest. Hong Kong 01 learned that the central authorities are also highly concerned that successive HKSAR governments have failed to properly address the operation of ride-hailing car services. To prevent social tensions from worsening, they dispatched dedicated personnel to Hong Kong earlier to engage closely with the HKSAR Government and provide experience and opinions, insisting that “must stand on the side of the people” be the highest principle in promoting structural reform and prompting the “legalisation of ride-hailing services” to take a step towards changing its fate.
歷經11年的爭持和拖延，運輸及物流局最快本月稍後出台「網約車合法化」諮詢框架。據《香港01》了解，中央亦十分關注歷屆特區政府未有妥善處理網約出租汽車經營服務問題，為免社會矛盾加劇，過較早前派遣專責人員到港，緊密與特區政府進行交流及提供經驗、意見，堅持以「必須站在人民一邊」作為最高原則推動結構性改革，促使「網約車合法化」邁出改變命運的一步。

外國領事若以「其他身份」探訪非該國被囚者 鄧炳強指修例後有權拒絕
The Security Bureau plans to amend the Prison Rules to allow the Correctional Services Department to refuse visits that do not serve a statutory purpose on the grounds of safeguarding national security, and to apply to the court for a warrant prohibiting a person in custody from meeting an individual visitor or a specified legal representative or doctor. At a Legislative Council Security Panel meeting, New People’s Party lawmaker Lee Tsz-king proposed extending such a ban to an entire law firm to prevent people from “passing messages”. Election Committee sector Johnny Kit Chong Ng asked whether the new arrangements would apply to foreign consuls and how a consul visiting as a “friend” would be handled. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung said China does not recognise dual nationality, and that anyone holding a Hong Kong identity card is “a Chinese national”. Foreign consuls could only visit their “own nationals” who did not hold Hong Kong identity cards; if they visited in “another identity”, the department could refuse the visit—for example, on national security grounds—if it considered that the visit did not serve a “specific purpose”.
保安局擬修訂《監獄規則》，懲教署可以基於維護國家安全為由，拒絕不符法定目的的探訪，亦可向法庭申請手令禁止在囚人士與個別探訪者或指明法律代表或醫生會面。在立法會保安事務委員會上，新民黨李梓敬提出應禁令延伸至整間律師事務所，防止有人「通風報信」。選委界吳傑莊則問到，新例安排是否適用於外國領事，若領事以「朋友」身份探訪將如何處理。保安局長鄧炳強回應指，中國不承認雙重國籍，若持香港身份證則「你係中國籍」；外國領事只能探訪不持香港身份證的「自己國民」，若以「第二啲身份」探訪，一旦署方認為不符探訪「特定目的」，有權以例如國家安全理由拒絕探訪。

After analysing and compiling social media information, 《獨媒》 found that Care Teams across Hong Kong had organised at least more than 170 film screenings over the past 18 months. Nearly half were described as activities to celebrate the Handover, National Day or national education, while the three films screened most often were *Ne Zha 2*, *Doraemon* and *Inside Out 2*.

監獄規則｜七年 300 宗私飯違紀 佔整體個案 0.88% 關注囚權人士批廢私飯做法過嚴
The government plans to amend the Prison Rules, saying that more than 300 disciplinary incidents involving remand prisoners arose from “private meals” between 2018 and 2024, and proposing to repeal the provision allowing remand prisoners to bring their own “private meals”. The Collective reviewed the Correctional Services Department’s annual reports from 2018 to 2024 and found that there were about 34,000 cases of prisoners breaching discipline over the seven-year period. In other words, disciplinary incidents related to “private meals” accounted for less than 1% of all disciplinary cases. Richard Yiu Cheong Tsoi, a former district councillor who advocates prisoners’ rights, questioned whether abolishing “private meals” was too harsh, saying the measure was “highly disproportionate”.
政府擬修訂《監獄規則》，指在 2018 年至 2024 年期間，共有超過 300 宗候審在囚人士因「私飯」引致的違紀事件，建議廢除候審在囚人士可自備「私飯」的條文。《集誌社》翻查懲教署2018年至2024年的年報，統計這七年間，共有約 34,000 宗在囚人士違反紀律個案。換言之，與「私飯」有關的違紀事件，只佔整體違紀事件不足 1%。關注囚權的前區議員蔡耀昌質疑廢除「私飯」過嚴，認為有關做法「非常不合比例」。
