Following Beijing’s imposition of the national security law on Hong Kong, the United States has announced further measures against Hong Kong. The US State Department said in its latest statement that it notified the Hong Kong government on 19 August that it would suspend three bilateral agreements with Hong Kong, including agreements on the extradition of fugitives and the transfer of sentenced persons, as well as an agreement providing reciprocal exemption from profits tax for shipping companies’ international shipping operations. The State Department said the move reflected the United States’ deep concern over Beijing’s implementation of the Hong Kong national security law, which it said undermined Hong Kong’s freedoms.

遭教育局變相審查 通識教科書刪公民抗命、法治人權內容
Liberal Studies has come under attack from the pro-establishment camp in recent years. Last year, the Education Bureau introduced a “Professional Consultation Service” for Liberal Studies textbooks, which was criticised as effectively making it compulsory for textbooks to be submitted for vetting. The revised editions produced by publishers for the first time after following the authorities’ “consultation”意见 were released yesterday (17th). Stand News found that various Liberal Studies textbooks had made multiple revisions to the “Hong Kong Today” unit, one of the subject’s six major units. In the Ya Ji New Senior Secondary Liberal Studies Series (Fourth Edition), which had been extensively criticised in Wen Wei Po, an entire page of materials and exercises on “civil disobedience” was removed. The authorities’ stated reason for requiring its deletion was simply “teaching needs”.

疑被私家車跟蹤兼撞到 許智峯轟警不作調查放走自稱記者疑人 警稱已錄口供斥媒體報道失實居心叵測
Several pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong said this month that they suspected they had been followed. At around 7pm today (14th), Democratic Party Legislative Council member Ted Hui suspected that he was being followed by a black private car. Hui subsequently called the police and confronted the driver and passengers of the private car on Forbes Street in Kennedy Town. He found that they had video and still cameras and other equipment, and was hit by the vehicle during the incident. After arriving at the scene and speaking with the occupants, police said they would not search the car or disclose the identities of the people inside, and allowed the private car to leave. Hui was pushed to the ground by police when he tried to block it from leaving. Ming Pao quoted sources as saying that the two people in the car claimed to be reporters from Ta Kung Pao.

【國安法】岑子杰、陳皓桓稱被跟蹤多月 陳皓桓：可能是國家機器
After the National Security Law took effect, many pro-democracy figures were arrested in mass operations. Former Demosisto deputy secretary-general Agnes Chow and former Studentlocalism convenor Tony Chung both discovered that they were being followed by unidentified people before their arrests. Former Hong Kong International Diplomacy Network spokesperson Sunny Cheung and Democratic Party lawmaker Ted Hui also said today that they suspected they had been followed. In a post that evening, Civil Human Rights Front deputy convenor Lester Shum said that while he and the Front’s convenor Jimmy Sham were attending a radio programme, someone photographed two suspicious-looking people nearby, who followed them by taxi after they left. He said they believed they could be facing the state apparatus and that they had been repeatedly followed for months.
