支聯會中聯辦示威 李卓人遭警推近四人 被指違反「限聚令」
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, the League of Social Democrats and several other groups protested outside the Liaison Office this morning. Walking backwards, they condemned the continuing deterioration of human rights in mainland China and Hong Kong. Police refused to let the protesters go to the Liaison Office’s main entrance, but agreed to arrange for groups of four to protest in a designated area outside the water barriers at the entrance. After the first group had completed its action, Alliance chair Lee Cheuk-yan was being interviewed when police suddenly used an orange-tape cordon to push him close to another group of four. He was issued a summons for allegedly breaching the gathering ban.
支聯會、社民連等多個團體今早到中聯辦抗議,他們以倒後行的形式,斥內地及香港人權不斷倒退。警方拒絕讓示威者到中聯辦正門,並答應安排四人一組到正門水馬外的指定範圍抗議,但在第一組完成行動後,支聯會主席李卓人接受訪問時,突被警方以橙帶封鎖線推近另外四人,遭票控違反「限聚令」。

民政半年無用GNMIS發區議會採通 賴疫情故不廣邀傳媒
The Home Affairs Department has continued taking measures to suppress district councils. InMediaHK examined the Government News and Media Information System (GNMIS) and found that, since 22 March this year, it has not issued any further notices to registered media outlets informing them that district council meetings would be held the following day. In response to InMediaHK’s enquiries, the Home Affairs Department cited the pandemic, saying that meetings were therefore not recommended and media interview notices were not issued.
民政事務總署繼續出招打壓區議會,獨媒翻查政府新聞處新聞發布系統(GNMIS),發現自今年3月22日起,已再沒有對已登記的傳媒發稿,提示區議會會議在翌日進行。民政事務總署回覆獨媒查詢時「賴疫情」,稱由於疫情關係,所以不建議召開會議,故不發出採訪通知。

七大專新聞系聯署 指警修改通例損新聞自由 促撤回
The police today began revising the definition of “media representatives” in provisions of the Police General Orders requiring officers to facilitate media work as far as possible. The revision removes the existing recognition of holders of membership cards issued by the Hong Kong Journalists Association and the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association as media representatives, and recognises only media organisations registered in the Information Services Department’s news dissemination system. The journalism departments of seven Hong Kong universities and colleges issued a joint statement today describing the revision as unwise, strongly urging the police to withdraw the proposal and calling on the HKSAR Government, in view of the damage the force’s unilateral decision would cause to press freedom in Hong Kong, to stop the proposal from becoming policy.
警方今天起修改《警察通例》有關警員須要盡量配合傳媒工作的條文中的「傳媒代表」定義,刪除現在承認香港記者協會及攝影記者協會會員證持有人為傳媒代表的內容,又僅承認有新聞處新聞發佈系統登記資格的傳媒。香港七家大學和學院新聞系今天發表聯署聲明,指有關修訂不明智,強烈敦促警方撤銷該建議,並呼籲特區政府考慮到警隊單方面的決定對香港新聞自由的損害,停止將該建議成為政策。

港台四集《左右紅藍綠》遭投訴欠持平 通訊局發警告 評 8.31 等或損警聲譽未讓警回應
The Communications Authority completed its deliberation on four complaint cases concerning programmes on RTHK, Commercial Radio and Television Broadcasts Limited, and found the complaints substantiated. Among them, four episodes of RTHK’s “Left, Right, Red, Blue and Green” were complained against for content including criticism of police actions at Prince Edward station on 31 August last year and the shooting incident in Tsuen Wan on 1 October. The Communications Authority said opinion programmes should provide appropriate opportunities for others to respond, found the complaint substantiated and issued a warning to RTHK. Separately, a sound column presented last year by Commercial Radio host Pun Siu-tau was also complained against for commentary on police actions. The Communications Authority found the complaints concerning the programme’s accuracy and fairness, as well as factual information in opinion programmes, substantiated, and issued strong advice to Commercial Radio.
通訊局完成對香港電台、商業電台及無綫電視節目 4 宗投訴個案的審議,並裁定投訴成立。其中港台四集《左右紅藍綠》,被投訴內容包括對警方去年 8.31 在太子站的行動及 10.1 於荃灣開槍事件的批評,通訊局指個人意見節目應提供適當機會以便其他人回應,裁定投訴成立,並向港台發出警告。另外,商台節目主持潘小濤去年的聲音專欄,被投訴內容同樣涉及對警方行動的評論,通訊局認為有關節目的準確性、公平和個人意見節目中真實資料的投訴成立,並向商台發出強烈勸諭。

任教嶺大近廿載今被踢走 葉蔭聰未棄守大學戰場:留下來本身就是價值
Early last month, Yip Yam-chung, one of the founders of InMedia and an assistant professor in Lingnan University’s Department of Cultural Studies, wrote in a column that his application for a tenure contract had been rejected and that he had received only a one-year temporary contract, meaning he would have to leave the following year. The article immediately drew public attention. At the time, Benny Tai, an associate professor at the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law who had been sentenced in the Occupy Central case, had just been dismissed by the university council, while Shiu Ka-chun, a lecturer in social work at Hong Kong Baptist University in the same case, had also not had his contract renewed. As Yip Yam-chung, who frequently wrote newspaper articles criticising the government, was now also being forced out, it was naturally seen as politically motivated.
上月初,《獨媒》創辦人之一、嶺南大學文化研究系助理教授葉蔭聰在專欄撰文提到,自己終身合約申請遭拒,僅獲一年臨時合約,明年便要離職。文章一出,即惹來公眾關注——其時,於佔中案被判刑的香港大學法律學院副教授戴耀廷剛遭校委會解僱,而同案的浸會大學社工系講師邵家臻也不獲校方續約。常於報章撰文批評政府的葉蔭聰如今又被踢走,自然被視為出於政治原因。

工作報告批「政府防疫資訊不足」 遭郵政拒寄 區議員向申訴專員投訴
A Democratic Party district councillor earlier applied to Hongkong Post to mail out a work report as a circular but was refused. He complained to the Office of the Ombudsman this morning, accusing Hongkong Post of political censorship. Kwun Tong District Councillor Cheng King-yeung said his work report was allegedly refused because it contained the words “insufficient government epidemic-prevention information”, asking: “Does criticising the government mean it’s not allowed?”

聖保祿學校倫理科納《國安法》 課時逾 5 個鐘 學生憂傳遞有利政府訊息
After the National Security Law for Hong Kong took effect, Chief Executive Carrie Lam and Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung said national security education should be introduced in schools. Stand News learned that Form Five and Form Six students at the prestigious direct-subsidy St. Paul’s Convent School in Causeway Bay will have four lessons on the “National Security Law” added to their existing ethics subject in the new school year. The lessons are provisionally scheduled to begin in March next year, but their specific content is not yet known. Some students pointed out that the school often criticises the idea of “politics entering the campus”, but has taken the lead in introducing National Security Law lessons, and feared that they would convey a political message favourable to the government.
港區國安法生效後,特首林鄭月娥、教育局局長楊潤雄表明要在學校開展國安法教育。《立場》獲悉,位於銅鑼灣的直資名校聖保祿學校中五、六學生,新學年在原有的倫理科中新增了四節有關「國安法」課程,暫定明年 3 月起上課,暫未知課程具體內容。有學生指出,校方常批評「政治不要進入校園」,但卻率先設立國安法課程,憂會傳遞有利政府的政治訊息。
