蘋果案︱多個國際組織發聲明 批法治淪喪憂黎智英死在獄中
Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital, was found guilty, prompting multiple international and human rights organisations to issue statements condemning what they described as an unjust verdict by the Hong Kong government. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) said the case involved a retaliatory and “preordained verdict” that trampled on the rule of law and amounted to a political prosecution. Several organisations said it was an important moment for governments, particularly those of the United States and the United Kingdom, to pressure Beijing to release Lai. Some also expressed concern about Lai’s physical condition and feared that he could die in prison.
Luke de Pulford, co-founder and executive director of IPAC, said on social media today (15th) that if recent reports about Lai’s health were accurate, “he very likely could die in prison”. He said Lai was not a criminal and could have chosen to leave Hong Kong, but did not do so. This, he said, was “a considered decision, a conscious act of self-sacrifice”. De Pulford said Lai used his profile “to show the world what the Chinese Communist Party truly is”.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英被判罪成，多個國際及人權組織發聲明，譴責港府判決不公。其中「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」指，這場是帶有報復性、且「預定好的判決」，踐踏法治，是政治審判。多個組織並認為，現在是多國政府特別是美國及英國，向北京施壓，要求釋放黎智英的重要時刻，有人亦憂慮黎智英的身體狀況，會死在獄中。
IPAC共同創辦人：黎智英自我犧牲向世界揭示中共真面目
「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」（IPAC）共同創辦人暨執行董事裴倫德（Luke de Pulford）今（15日）在社交平台表示，如果近期有關黎智英健康狀況的報道屬實，「他很可能會死在獄中」。他認為黎智英不是罪犯，本身可以選擇離開香港，但他沒有，「這是一個深思熟慮的決定，是一種有意識的自我犧牲」。裴倫德指黎智英利用自身影響力，「向世界揭示中共的真面目」（ use his profile to show the world what the Chinese Communist Party truly is）。

青年被控男廁寫煽動字句 認損壞財產否認煽動 庭上指涉案字眼曾見於「唐英傑案」
An 18-year-old youth was accused of writing seditious words on three occasions in a men’s washroom at China Hong Kong City in Tsim Sha Tsui in July this year. On Monday (15th), at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, he pleaded guilty to three counts of “destroying or damaging property” and not guilty to one count of “doing one or more acts with seditious intention”.
Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak adjourned the case to 23 February next year for a pre-trial review. The defendant may remain on bail under the existing conditions. The magistrate directed the defence to decide as soon as possible whether it would dispute the wording involved. The prosecution and defence must decide before the pre-trial review whether to call expert witnesses, while the prosecution must first deal with the agreed facts for charges other than the sedition charge. The court was told that the wording had previously appeared in the Tong Ying-kit case. The defence also said it would challenge at trial the voluntariness of the cautioned statement and the video-recorded interview, among other matters.
18 歲青年被指今年 7 月，三度於尖沙咀中港城男洗手間內寫上煽動字句。他周一（15 日）在西九龍裁判法院承認 3 項「摧毀或損壞財產」罪，並否認一項「出於煽動意圖作出一項或多項具煽動意圖的作為」罪。
總裁判官蘇惠德將案件押後到明年 2 月 23 日作審前覆核，被告可以原有條件保釋。官要求辯方盡早決定會否爭議涉案字眼，而控辯雙方需在審前覆核之前，決定會否就此傳召專家證人，控方則要先處理除「煽動」罪以外的同意案情。庭上透露，相關字眼曾出現在「唐英傑」案。另外辯方指，審訊時會爭議警誡口供、錄影會面的自願性等。

蘋果案裁決｜鄧炳強指案件與新聞自由無關：「利用新聞報道作幌子、行禍港之實」
The verdict in the Apple Daily case was delivered today (15th), with Jimmy Lai found guilty of three charges involving conspiracy to incite subversion and collusion with foreign forces. Secretary for Security Chris Tang told reporters in the afternoon that he directly rebutted claims that someone had been jailed for journalistic work, stressing that the case was unrelated to press freedom. He said Lai had merely “used news reports as a cover to carry out acts harming Hong Kong” over many years, adding that “his conduct is shameful and his evil must be punished”. Tang also criticised Lai for having consistently treated young people as tools, saying that his “remaining value” today was merely to be used by the West to smear Hong Kong and China. He also urged Western politicians and media to ask themselves honestly: “If it were your children who had been incited and had to bear the legal consequences, what would you think?”
蘋果案今日（15日）裁決，黎智英三項串謀煽動及勾結外國勢力罪成。保安局局長炳強下午見記者，他點名反駁記者指稱有人因新聞工作而身陷囹圄，強調案件與新聞自由無關，又指黎智英只是多年來「利用新聞報道作幌子、行禍港之實」，是「其行可恥，其惡當懲」。他又斥責黎智英一直視年輕人為工具，到今日其「剩餘價值」只是被西方用來抹黑香港和中國，又要求西方政客、媒體撫心自問，「如果被鼓動、要承受法律後果嘅係你嘅仔女，你會點諗呢?」

蘋果案裁決｜黎智英罪成 記協：造成不可逆轉傷害 國際人權、新聞組織同聲批評
Jimmy Lai, the former founder of Next Digital, was found guilty of three offences, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. Chief Executive John Lee said the law did not allow people of any profession or background to harm the country under the guise of human rights, democracy or freedom. Li Kwai-wah, Senior Superintendent of the National Security Department, said Lai’s conduct had nothing to do with press freedom: “It was manufacturing news and promoting political objectives.”
The Hong Kong Journalists Association, international press organisations and human rights groups also issued statements in response to the verdict. The HKJA expressed extreme regret, describing it as “irreversible harm to Hong Kong’s journalism sector”. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Amnesty International also criticised the verdict. CPJ described the conviction as a “shameful act of persecution”, while Amnesty International said the ruling “sounds the death knell for press freedom in Hong Kong” and stressed that Lai must be released immediately and unconditionally.
前壹傳媒集團創辦人黎智英被裁定串謀勾結外國勢力等三罪罪成，特首李家超指法律不容任何職業或背景人士，假借人權、民主、自由之名傷害國家，國安處總警司李桂華則指黎的行為和新聞自由無關，「係製造新聞，推動政治目的」。
記協、國際新聞和人權組織，亦發聲明回應裁決。記協對裁決表示極度遺憾，形容是「對香港新聞界造成不可逆轉傷害」。保護記者委員會(CPJ) 及國際特赦組織亦發聲明批評， CPJ 形容定罪是「可恥的迫害行為」，後者則指裁決「為香港新聞自由敲響喪鐘」，組織強調黎必須立即、無條件獲釋。

黎智英被裁罪成 港澳辦批「馬前卒」特首指「可恥歹毒」 多國反對譴責促釋放
After being held on remand for five years, Jimmy Lai was convicted of conspiracy to collude with external forces and other offences. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, the Liaison Office and the Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong criticised Lai as a “pawn of anti-China forces” and a “traitor to China and national enemy”. Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the country’s fundamental interests and the welfare of residents, and that “his conduct was shameful and his intentions vicious”.
The United Kingdom, Australia and the European Union opposed and condemned the verdict, while the Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s unconditional release. The Foreign Ministry said it was strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to certain countries’ open denigration and smearing of Hong Kong’s judicial system. International press groups said the verdict undermined press freedom, a claim the Hong Kong government rebutted.

黎智英勾結外力罪成 9人明年1.12求情 港澳辦港府批黎 英澳歐盟譴責反對裁決
In the national security case against Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai, three High Court-designated judges ruled on Monday (15th) that Lai was guilty on three charges involving conspiracy to collude with external forces and incitement. He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Lai and the other eight defendants were remanded in custody until mid-January next year for mitigation submissions, and the judges said they would announce the sentencing date as soon as possible. Lai’s wife and lawyers did not respond to the verdict. His children in the UK said they were saddened and worried that their father’s health would deteriorate.
In their judgment, the judges said Lai had harboured resentment towards China for many years and that, both before and after the implementation of the National Security Law, his sole intention was to seek the downfall of the Chinese Communist Party, even at the expense of the interests of the Chinese and Hong Kong people. The judges described Lai’s hatred of the Chinese Communist Party as extremely intense, saying it remained strong even when he gave evidence in court. They ultimately ruled that, in pursuit of his political objectives, Lai conspired separately with Apple Daily executives and the “Chung Kwong team” to incite and collude with external forces, with the aim of weakening the authority of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments and seeking foreign sanctions.
Various parties responded after the verdict. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office described Lai as a “pawn, traitor and national enemy”, while Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the national interest and condemned him as “shameful and vicious”. The UK, Australia and the European Union condemned and opposed the verdict, while the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s release. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong dissatisfaction at what it called open smearing and vilification, and urged that there be no interference. The Hong Kong government also rebutted the criticism, saying the case had nothing to do with press freedom.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英國安案，3 名高院指定法官周一（15 日）裁定黎串謀勾結外力、煽動 3 罪成，他最高可被判囚終身。黎與另 8 被告續還押至明年一月中處理求情，官指盡快公布判刑日期。黎妻及律師未回應裁決，黎在英國的子女則稱感悲傷，憂父健康惡化。
法官在判詞指，黎長年對中國心懷怨恨，指他無論在《國安法》實施前後，唯一意圖是尋求中共倒台，即使要犧牲中國人民、香港人的利益也在所不惜。官形容，黎對中共極為仇恨，甚至在他出庭作供時，仇恨依然強烈，最後裁定黎為求達到政治目的，分別與《蘋果》高層、「重光團隊」串謀煽動及勾結外力，以削弱中港政府的權威，以及尋求外國制裁。
各方在裁決後回應，港澳辦形容黎為「馬前卒、漢奸國賊」，特首李家超指黎損國家利益，批「可恥、歹毒」。英、澳、歐盟譴責及反對裁決，美國的中國委員會促釋放黎。外交部指強烈不滿公然詆毀抹黑，敦促不得干預，港府亦反駁指案件無關新聞自由。

回應宏福苑火災聯署發起人被捕事件
On November 29, the petition organiser and Chinese University of Hong Kong student Kwan Ching Fung Miles (Miles) was arrested by the Police National Security Department on suspicion of sedition. The arrest was suspected to be related to a petition initiated by Kwan Ching Fung Miles entitled “Tai Po Wang Fuk Court Fire Concern Group”. The petition put forward four demands: continued support for affected residents; the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry; a review of the construction regulatory system; and full investigation into regulatory negligence and accountability for government officials. Before the arrest, the petition had received more than 10,000 signatures. The concern group’s social media page and petition post were closed after Kwan Ching Fung Miles was arrested.
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre issued the following response to the arrest of petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles:
“The national security police’s arrest of the petition organiser once again highlights the Hong Kong government’s abuse of the sedition offence to suppress peaceful and legitimate expression of opinion. This arrest completely violates the protection of freedom of speech and expression under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (the ‘Covenant’), infringing fundamental human rights in the name of national security.
The demands put forward by petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles—protecting the rights and interests of disaster victims, finding out the truth about the fire, and improving public safety—are all reasonable civic opinions and are fully protected by the Covenant, with absolutely no connection to endangering national security. The authorities’ arrest of a citizen on this basis reflects that current law enforcement has already treated normal expression of concern about disasters and the public interest as a crime.”
11月29日，聯署發起人、中大學生關靖豐（Miles），被警察國安處以煽動罪拘捕。有關的拘捕，懷疑是因關靖豐發起「大埔宏福苑火災關注組」聯署有關。該聯署提出四項訴求：持續支援受災居民、成立獨立調查委員會、重新審視工程監管制度，以及全力追究監管疏忽並問責政府官員。截至被捕前，聯署已獲逾萬人簽署。關注組的社交媒體專頁及聯署帖文在關靖豐被捕後，已經關閉。
香港人權資訊中心就聯署發起人關靖豐被捕一事作出以下回應：
「國安警拘捕聯署發起人，再次突顯港府濫用《煽動罪》打壓和平及正當的意見表達。今次的拘捕完全違反《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》（《公約》）對言論及表達自由的保障，以國家安全之名侵害基本人權。
聯署發起人關靖豐提出的訴求——保障災民權益、查明火災真相、改善公共安全——均屬於合理的公民意見，完全受《公約》所保障，與危害國家安全毫無關聯。當局以此為由拘捕公民，反映現行執法已將關注災難與公共利益的正常表達視為犯罪。
