英國發表《香港半年報告》指政治反對聲音全滅 港府逾4,100字聲明批污衊抹黑
The UK Government published its six-monthly report on Hong Kong. Foreign Secretary David Cameron condemned Beijing’s implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, saying it breached the Sino-British Joint Declaration and that political opposition voices had been almost entirely wiped out under the law. The report also questioned whether the rushed legislative process for Article 23 of the Basic Law complied with international human rights law. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued a statement last night rebutting the report, strongly condemning and opposing its false, defamatory and disparaging remarks about various aspects of the situation in Hong Kong. It also strongly demanded that the UK immediately stop conduct inconsistent with international law and the basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs.
英國政府發表香港半年報告，外相卡梅倫斥責北京在港實施《香港國安法》違反《中英聯合聲明》，政治反對聲音在該法例下接近全數被消滅，並質疑《基本法》第23條立法過程匆忙，或不符合國際人權法。特區政府昨晚發聲明反駁，聲明全文逾4,100字，對報告就本港各方面情況的失實言論、污衊抹黑作強烈譴責及反對。特區政府又強烈要求，英國立即停止不符合國際法和國際關係基本準則的行為，立即停止干涉中國內政和香港事務。

鄧炳強致函《紐時》 譴責評論文章誤導
Secretary for Security Chris Tang wrote yesterday to the US newspaper The New York Times, strongly opposing and condemning an opinion article published by the paper the day before (26th), written by Maya Wang, acting director of Human Rights Watch’s China division. The article mentioned Hong Kong residents’ concerns that keeping Apple Daily after legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law might be illegal, and that some were considering whether to shred Apple Daily or send it overseas. Tang criticised the article as extremely misleading and urged The New York Times to “ensure that its reporting on Hong Kong is fair and balanced, and stop publishing alarmist remarks.”

23條立法｜澳洲更新對香港旅遊提示 指旅客或無意中犯法 港府譴責：危言聳聽、散播恐懼
As the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (Article 23) is to be gazetted tomorrow (23 March), the Australian government updated its travel advice today (22 March), saying Hong Kong’s strict national security laws could be broadly interpreted, visitors might “break the law without intending to”, and could be detained without being charged and denied access to a lawyer. It continued to advise those travelling to Hong Kong to “exercise a high degree of caution”. The Hong Kong government issued a statement tonight strongly condemning what it called the smearing and vilification of Article 23 under the guise of a so-called travel advisory, criticising it as “political manipulation that spreads fear through false and distorted facts and alarmist statements”.
因應《維護國家安全條例》（23條）將於明天（23日）刊憲，澳洲政府今天（22日）更新旅遊提示，表示香港嚴格的國安法律可被廣泛詮釋，旅客可能會在「沒有意圖下犯法」，並在未受到起訴的情況下被拘留，及被拒絕會見律師，繼續建議到港旅遊者「保持高度謹慎」。港府今晚發聲明強烈假借所謂外遊提示對23條「誣衊抹黑」，批評是以「虛假、歪曲事實及危言聳聽言論散播恐懼的政治操弄」。

23條立法｜政府強烈譴責香港自由委員會基金會 恫嚇中央和特區官員
The Legislative Council Bills Committee on the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance continued its scrutiny of the bill today (10th). The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said in a statement today that it strongly condemned the anti-China organisation Hong Kong Freedom Committee Foundation for openly calling on the United States to impose so-called “sanctions” on central government and HKSAR officials, particularly those involved in the legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law, and for vilifying and smearing the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance Bill.

23條立法｜政府譴責彭博誤報禁Telegram及Signal 彭博承認出錯並修正
A Bloomberg spokesperson told this newspaper tonight that the company had published two headlines today that mistakenly presented members of the public’s views as proposals by the Hong Kong government on Article 23 of the Basic Law. The spokesperson said the headlines were incorrectly published and had been corrected within 10 minutes of their initial publication.
The HKSAR Government submitted details of the results of the consultation on legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law to the Legislative Council. The document listed a number of “other views” received during the consultation, including suggestions that “websites such as Facebook and YouTube be withdrawn from the Hong Kong market”, as well as a proposal to ban the messaging applications Telegram and Signal from operating in Hong Kong. Bloomberg at one point used the headline “Hong Kong Article 23 legislation proposals advocate banning Telegram”. The Government issued a press release in the evening expressing strong dissatisfaction with and condemning Bloomberg, and solemnly stated that it had not proposed banning any social media, video-sharing or streaming platform from operating in Hong Kong.
《彭博》發言人今晚回應本報，指公司今日刊出兩則標題，誤將公眾的意見當作港府就《基本法》23條的建議，指有關標題是錯誤發布，已在首次發布後10分鐘內更正。
特區政府向立法會提交《基本法》23條立法的諮詢結果詳情，載列不少諮詢期間收到的「其他意見」，例如有人建議「將Facebook、YouTube等網站撤出香港市場」，亦有人提出禁止通訊軟件Telegram及Signal在港運作。彭博一度以「香港23條立法建議倡禁Telegram」為報道標題。政府傍晚發新聞稿，向彭博表達強烈不滿和譴責，並嚴正聲明特區政府並無建議禁止任何社交媒體、影片分享平台或串流平台在香港運作。

鄧炳強點名批評後 港府再發聲明譴責香港監察聯署聲明 斥是「徹頭徹尾的偽善和雙重標準」
After Secretary for Security and Response and Rebuttal Team chief Tang Ping-keung singled out Hong Kong Watch and other organisations for criticism over their joint statement on Article 23 of the Basic Law, the Hong Kong government issued another statement on the same day (20th), strongly condemning and opposing the remarks and describing them as deliberately smearing and irresponsible. The government statement said the organisations had given no consideration whatsoever to the relevant laws of the countries where they are based, and falsely claimed that the proposed Article 23 legislation would undermine human rights. It condemned this as “utter hypocrisy” and “double standards”.
繼保安局局長、應變反駁隊隊長鄧炳強點名批評「香港監察」及其他組織，就《基本法》23條的聯署聲明，港府同日（20日）亦再發聲明，強烈譴責和反對有關言論，形容是刻意抹黑及不負責任。港府聲明中指，有關組織絲毫不考慮其所在國家的相關法律，妄稱23條立法建議損害人權，斥責是「徹頭徹尾的偽善」和「雙重標準」。
