「同香會」不獲續租下月告別西九龍中心 陳劍琴批商場帶頭審查
The “Stationery Tong Heung Wui”, founded by former Tsuen Wan district councillor Kim Kam Chan, was notified by West Kowloon Centre the day before yesterday (14th) that its lease would not be renewed. Its lease to relocate to another shop in the centre was also rejected that day, and it will leave West Kowloon Centre on the 30th of next month. Kim Kam Chan told The Witness that it was difficult to speculate on the reason for the non-renewal, but believed it was related to the scented candles bearing the words “Memories Never Fade, Conscience Never Ceases” that it sold for the 36th anniversary of June 4 this year. She criticised the mall for taking the lead in driving out and censoring “sensitive people”, and said she was extremely disappointed: “Purely because of my name, because of political reasons and national security reasons, they won’t rent to a person to do business. I think that kind of loss is the mall’s. Many shops are already struggling to survive and having to close, and there are still shops willing to set up a stall in your mall. For a community-oriented mall, that would certainly do no harm and would definitely be good for the economy, but now they are taking the lead in refusing to rent to you.”
由前荃灣區議員陳劍琴創辦的「文具同香會」前日（14日）獲西九龍中心通知不續租，其搬遷到中心內其他舖位的租約同日被拒，下月底（30日）將告別西九龍中心。陳劍琴向《獨媒》表示，難以猜想不獲租續的原因，但相信與今年六四36周年售賣印有「記憶不滅 良知不息」的香薰蠟燭有關。她批評商場帶頭驅趕、審查「敏感人士」，表示極度遺憾，「純粹因為我個名，因為政治原因，國安原因唔租畀一個人做生意，咁我覺得嗰種遺憾係商場損失，而家已經講緊好多舖頭捱唔住要執，仲有舖頭肯喺你商場擺個檔，對一個民生商場嚟講一定係無害，對經濟都一定好，但依家佢哋帶頭唔租畀你。」

中大選校董｜至少兩參選校友被 DQ 校方拒覆原因
After the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s 34-member Council was “reformed”, two seats for undergraduate and alumni representatives remain vacant. Nominations for the alumni Council election were held from the 9th to the 22nd of last month, and the Council Secretariat announced the names of two candidates on the 13th. The Collective confirmed through multiple sources that at least two CUHK alumni who had secured enough nominations and registered to stand were disqualified without receiving any inquiries or notification. An unnamed former CUHK Council member criticised the system as unfair and questioned: “On what grounds were they DQ’d?” A CUHK alumnus said the election was “merely a prearranged façade” intended to allow the Council to remain controlled by a small circle.
中大校董會「被改革」後，34 人校董會仍缺本科生及校友代表兩席。校友校董選舉提名上月 9 日至 22 日舉行，校董會秘書處日前（13日）公布兩名候選人名單。《集誌社》從不同消息確認，至少兩名已獲得足夠提名及報名參選的中大校友，在沒接獲任何查詢或通知下，候選資格無故被 DQ。有不願具名的前中大校董批評制度不公，質疑制度不公「憑乜嘢 DQ？」，有中大校友質疑選舉「不過是內定的幌子，志在令校董會繼續把持於小圈子之中」。
《集誌社》向中文大學查詢共幾多人報名參選、未能參選人數和原因等等。中大未有直接回覆，僅指校董會屬下「選舉事務委員會」於 13 日確認「初步獲接受的候選人提名名單」，並將於 9 月 2 日公告最終候選人名單及有關資料。

美國人權報告｜《國安法》陰霾下 香港自由與法治面臨全面失守
The US State Department’s 2024 Human Rights Report says Hong Kong’s human rights situation continued to deteriorate over the past year, with Beijing and the Hong Kong government jointly dismantling the city’s autonomy and political freedoms. These actions included arbitrary arrests and detention, transnational repression of Hong Kong people overseas, severe restrictions on freedom of expression and the press, human trafficking, and severe suppression of trade union autonomy and workers’ rights. The report also sharply criticised the Hong Kong government for taking virtually no action, leaving the system for holding officials accountable effectively non-existent.
This is the first human rights report issued by the State Department since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, and its section on Hong Kong runs to 22 pages. The report states at the outset that the Hong Kong government has continued to invoke the Hong Kong National Security Law, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance implemented in March 2024 under Article 23 of the Basic Law, and other legislation to prosecute people for peacefully expressing political views and restrict the public’s freedom to criticise the government.
美國國務院發表《2024年度人權報告》指，香港的人權狀況在過去一年持續惡化，北京與港府聯手摧毀香港的自治與政治自由，包括任意逮捕及拘留、跨境打壓海外港人、嚴重限制言論及新聞自由、人口販運，以及嚴重打壓工會自主與勞工權益等。報告同時狠批港府對此幾乎毫無作為，導致追究官員的問責制度蕩然無存。
這是美國總統特朗普1月重返白宮後，國務院發表的首份人權報告，當中關於香港的篇幅全長22頁。報告開宗明義指出，港府持續引用《香港國安法》、2024年3月實施的《維護國家安全條例》（《基本法》第23條）和其他法例，起訴和平表達政治觀點人士，並且限制公眾自由地批評政府。

避暑中心｜綠色和平、同路舍調查批避暑中心選址「離地」 記者直擊 梯間放膠椅無冷氣避暑
The Observatory issued the Very Hot Weather Warning on four of the past five days. Environmental group Greenpeace and social service organisation ImpactHK, which serves people experiencing homelessness, today (12th) released the results of a questionnaire survey on the use of temporary cooling centres. The survey found that more than 60% of people experiencing homelessness and people living in inadequate housing had never used a temporary cooling centre. It also found that the cooling centres in at least five districts failed to effectively cover the main residential areas of low-income people, raising questions about whether existing resources provide sufficient space for people to escape the heat.
Reporters visited several cooling centres and found that some daytime centres had no air conditioning, their fans failed to reach users, and some were located in stairwells. The Home Affairs Department said that, as of 10 August this year, cooling centres had opened overnight for 35 nights, with more than 5,700 person-visits registered. Since 2022, it has tried to arrange vacant rooms with air conditioning for people seeking relief from the heat.
過去五日內，天文台有四日發出酷熱天氣警告，環保團體「綠色和平」，聯同服務無家者群體的社服機構「同路舍」（ImpactHK），今日（12日）發佈《臨時避暑中心使用問卷調查》結果。調查發現，逾六成無家者及居住於不適切居所的人士，從未使用過臨時避暑中心，最少五區的避暑中心，未能有效覆蓋低收入人士的主要居住區域，質疑現有資源未能提供充足的避暑空間。
記者到數個避暑中心視察，發現部分日間避暑中心沒冷氣、風扇吹不到，有的設在樓梯間。民政事務總署回覆指，今年至 8 月 10 日，避暑中心有 35 晚通宵開放，逾 5700人次登記使用。自 2022 年起，會盡量安排有空調的空置房間，讓避暑人士使用。

雙重學籍｜一諾校長違規收家長 20 萬「建設費」 曾任職漢鼎書院 該校曾拖欠家長債券款項
Private school Yinuo Secondary School (Kowloon Tong) was recently revealed to have allegedly involved students in “dual school enrolment” across Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The secondary school was also involved in promoting a programme jointly organised with a mainland institution, advertised as “studying in Shenzhen to obtain Hong Kong student status”. The incident further revealed disorder in the school’s administration. Principal Kei Man-tik admitted yesterday to improperly collecting 200,000 yuan from parents as “construction fees”. The Education Bureau said the school’s management and finances were “unsatisfactory” and rejected its registration application at the end of last month. The Collective, after reviewing records, found that Kei Man-tik had previously worked at Han Ding College, which had allegedly failed to repay parents more than 10 million yuan in bond payments.

雙重學籍｜奪金「港生」身分羅生門 深圳學校：載譽而歸 香港一諾：雙非港人，去年3月轉校
Five Hong Kong students won awards while representing Hong Kong at the 55th International Physics Olympiad in July. However, the status of Fu Sze-man, who won a gold medal and attends Hong Kong private school Yat Nor College, has sparked controversy. After the HKSAR Government issued a press release about the awards on July 25, mainland media reported that Fu was a Secondary 4 student at Shenzhen Senior High School, which also made high-profile publicity about her achievement.
Hong Kong students cannot hold two school registrations at the same time. Yat Nor College principal Kei Man-tai said Fu was a “double non” Hong Kong resident who had studied in Shenzhen and transferred to Yat Nor last March. He said Fu’s parents had told the school that she had withdrawn from the Shenzhen school, and that after Fu won the award, “the Shenzhen [school] asked her to cooperate with its publicity”. Asked whether Fu had attended school in Hong Kong, Kei said, “A little, not much,” adding that the school had allowed her to take extended leave to prepare for the competition and that she spent about half her time in Hong Kong. A teacher at Shenzhen Senior High School, meanwhile, said they did not know that Fu had transferred.
The incident revealed that a mainland institution had jointly organised a programme with Yat Nor, charging annual tuition of HK$188,000 and promoting it with the claim that students could “study in Shenzhen and obtain a Hong Kong school registration”. The programme said students would spend most of their time in Shenzhen and directly advance to Yat Nor for the final two years without interruption, in order to meet the requirements for subsidies for “local students” under recently revised rules. Kei described the publicity as “possibly problematic” and said he had decided to suspend the programme for the time being after Jai Sing was recently exposed for running a school through a “shell” arrangement. The Education Bureau said the school’s management and financial situation were unsatisfactory. It notified the school on July 28 that its registration application had been rejected, and that its provisional registration would not be extended after it expires at the end of September.
五名香港學生 7 月代表香港參與第 55 屆「國際物理奧林匹克」比賽獲獎，不過，其中奪金牌、就讀香港私校一諾中學的傅思敏的身分惹起爭議。特區政府 7 月 25 日發稿公布得獎消息後，內地媒體即報道傅思敏是深圳市高級中學高一班學生，深圳高級中學集團亦高調宣傳。
香港學生不能同時擁有兩個學籍。究竟傅思敏有否在香港讀書？一諾中學校長祁文迪指，傅思敏是「雙非」港人、曾於深圳讀書，去年 3 月轉校至一諾。他指傅的家長稱已在深圳退學，傅奪獎後「深圳(學校)請他配合宣傳」；被問到傅有否在香港上學，祁指「少少，唔多」，又指學校讓他請長假備賽，他約有一半時間在香港。至於深圳高級中學的老師，則指不知道傅有轉學。
事件揭露有內地機構與一諾合辦課程，年學費 18.8 萬，以「深圳讀書拿香港學籍」作招徠，標榜學生大部分時間在深圳，最後兩年直升一諾「無縫銜接」，以符合最近新修訂的「本地生」資助要求。祁形容宣傳「可能有些問題」，近日摘星被揭「借殼」辦學後他決定先暫緩。教育局回覆指，一諾管理及財政狀況不令人滿意, 教育局已於 7 月 28 日通知該校拒絕為其註冊，臨時註冊有效期 9 月底屆滿後亦不會獲得延展。

多個勞工及長者團體批外勞「爭飯碗」 促設暫停機制
A new Policy Address will be announced in September, and public consultation is under way. Multiple groups concerned about labour rights and elderly care held a press conference on Saturday (August 9), putting forward various recommendations including universal retirement protection. A group representative said economic conditions were currently very poor, with many workers unemployed, and urged the establishment of a mechanism to suspend the importation of foreign labour.
The statutory minimum wage rose to HK$42.1 per hour on May 1. Lee Chi-yan of the Universal Retirement Protection Concern Group said the level remained too low to improve the quality of life of grassroots residents. She said Hong Kong was experiencing a wave of business closures, with many local workers unemployed, while foreign workers were competing for jobs. She urged the introduction of an unemployment assistance payment without means testing. Criticising the government for continuing to import foreign labour, she said: “What is the intention behind continuing to import foreign labour? Is it to improve Hong Kong or ruin Hong Kong?”
新一份《施政報告》將於9月公布，目前正進行公眾諮詢，多個關注勞工權益及長者安老團體周六（8月9日）舉行記者會，提出設立全民退休保障等多項建議。有團體代表提到，目前市道非常差，不少工友失業，促設暫停輸入外勞機制。
團體批外勞爭飯碗
今年5月1日法定最低工資水平提高至時薪42.1元，全民退保關注組李志恩指水平仍然過低，未能改善基層市民生活質素。她指本港有結業潮，不少本地勞工失業，加上外勞爭飯碗，促設免審查「失業援助金」。她批評政府續輸入外勞，「仲輸入外勞有咩居心？是搞好呢個香港定搞衰呢個香港呢？」

國安時代｜許智峯任建峰受滋擾上升到外長層次 澳洲外長黃英賢當面向王毅表不滿 人權觀察指區錦新是葡萄牙公民促澳門無條件放人
Former Hong Kong Democratic Party legislator Hui Chi-fung, who is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a HK$1 million bounty, and Yam Kin-fung, former convenor of the Progressive Lawyers Group, have continued speaking out for Hong Kong in Australia. In March this year, they were subjected to various forms of cross-border repression believed to have originated from China and Hong Kong. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong had already stated that this was completely unacceptable and that she would make representations to China and Hong Kong. During her attendance at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and related meetings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last month, she met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and reportedly expressed her dissatisfaction to him in person over the harassment faced by Hui and Yam.
Meanwhile, veteran Macau pro-democracy figure and former Legislative Assembly member Au Kam-san was arrested and detained by Macau national security police last Wednesday (30 July) over alleged violations of “Macao Article 23” and the National Security Law. He has been detained for more than a week and has still not been released. Condemnations and expressions of concern from the international community have continued to mount. The international human rights organisation Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday (the 6th) that Au is a Portuguese citizen, criticising the actions as reflecting the spread, under Chinese President Xi Jinping, of the suppression of dissent from China to Hong Kong and Macau. Wang Songlian, Human Rights Watch’s deputy China director, urged the Macau government to release Au Kam-san immediately and unconditionally.
遭港府懸賞100萬港元通緝的前香港民主黨立法會議員許智峯以及前法政匯思召集人任建峰在澳洲持續為香港發聲，今年3月受到相信來自中港兩地不同形式的跨境打壓。澳洲外長黃英賢早已表明完全不可接受，將向中港提出交涉。她上月在馬來西亞吉隆坡出席東盟外長及相關會議期間，與中國外長王毅會晤，據報當面就許、任兩人受到的滋擾，向王毅表達不滿。
另一方面，澳門資深民主派、前立法會議員區錦新被指涉嫌違反「澳門23條」、《維護國家安全法》上周三（7月30日）被澳門國安警拘捕、扣押逾一星期，仍未獲釋。國際社會譴責、關注聲浪一波接一波。國際人權組織「人權觀察」周三（6日）表示，區是葡萄牙公民，批評有做法反映中國國家主席習近平治下壓制異見的行動已由中國蔓延至香港和澳門，人權觀察中國事務副主任王松蓮促請澳門政府立即無條件釋放區錦新。

《信報》︱地區人士：紀念抗日戰爭勝利80周年屬「國家級任務」必須「交功課」
3 September is the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. A media outlet learned that the pro-establishment camp is racking its brains to organise activities at district level to promote patriotic education, describing commemorating the victory in the War of Resistance as a “national-level task” for which they must “hand in the assignment”. However, some district figures admitted that if the activities consisted only of repeated visits to sites associated with the history of the Communist Party and the country, it would be difficult to attract residents to sign up. They also worried that organising elderly residents to join “red one-day tours” to meet numerical targets could turn them into little more than community meals and cause them to lose their meaning.
A current-affairs column in the Hong Kong Economic Journal said that on 3 September, the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is expected that the Hong Kong government’s principal officials, Hong Kong deputies to the National People’s Congress, Hong Kong members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and some Legislative Council members will go to Beijing to attend the Tiananmen military parade. However, many pro-establishment district figures plan to organise local one-day “red tours” around September, arranging for residents to visit Hong Kong sites related to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Some district councillors and Care Teams are even studying the organisation of large-scale activities involving thousands of people, using the respective Care Team neighbourhoods as the units.
下月3日為「中國人民抗日戰爭勝利80周年紀念日」，有傳媒獲悉建制陣營正絞盡腦汁，籌備在地區層面舉辦活動，實踐愛國主義教育，更稱紀念抗戰勝利屬「國家級任務」，必須「交功課」。不過，有地區人士坦言，如果只是不斷參觀紅色景點，較難吸引街坊報名；但如果為「跑數」組織長者參與「紅色一日遊」，則憂淪為街坊聚餐，失去意義。
《信報》時事專欄指出，9月3日「中國人民抗日戰爭勝利80周年紀念日」當天，預計港府主要官員、港區全國人大、政協委員及部分立法會議員都會到北京出席天安門閱兵儀式。然而，不少建制地區人士計劃在9月前後舉辦「紅色之旅」本地一日遊，安排街坊參觀香港的抗日戰爭景點，有區議員和關愛隊甚至研究以關愛隊所屬小區為單位，組織以千人計的大規模活動。

A.I.滲透宣傳戰 中國公司借《國安法》操控香港輿論
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence has ushered the global information war into a new era. US scholars specialising in international security affairs said Chinese technology company GoLaxy had become a “leader” in this field. After the National Security Law was implemented in 2020, it suppressed opposing voices in Hong Kong; in 2024, it intervened in Taiwan’s elections, and it is now preparing to enter the US market, posing an unprecedented threat to democratic systems worldwide.
Brett J. Goldstein and Brett V. Benson, professors at Vanderbilt University, co-authored a commentary published in The New York Times yesterday (the 5th). They said that, based on a large number of documents recently uncovered by them at the Institute of National Security, GoLaxy was able to combine generative artificial intelligence with vast databases of personal information. The system could continuously mine data from social media platforms, build dynamic psychological profiles, and tailor content according to individuals’ values, beliefs, emotional tendencies and vulnerabilities.
生成式人工智能（Generative AI）的急速發展，使環球資訊戰進入一個全新時代。美國有專門研究國際安全事務的學者表示，中國科技公司「中科天璣」已升級為這方面的「領先者」，2020年在《國安法》實施後壓制香港反對聲音，2024年再出招干預台灣大選，目前更準備進軍美國，對全球民主制度構成前所未有的威脅。
高德斯坦（Brett J. Goldstein）與賓森（Brett V. Benson）是范登堡大學（Vanderbilt University）教授，兩人昨（5日）在《紐約時報》聯署發表評論文章指，根據他們在國家安全研究所（Institute of National Security）最近發現的大量文件，「中科天璣」（GoLaxy）能夠將生成式人工智能，與龐大的個人數據庫結合，系統能不斷從社交平台挖掘數據，建立動態的心理輪廓，並根據個人的價值觀、信念、情緒傾向與弱點，度身打造專屬內容。
