議員工作報告批評國安法 郵政署拒寄 尹兆堅斥政治審查
The work reports of Democratic Party Legislative Council member Yuen Siu-kin and Tuen Mun District Councillor Kee Ma were allegedly refused delivery and confiscated by the Post Office because their contents criticised the Hong Kong National Security Law. The two held a press conference today (17 July) to protest against the Post Office acting as a “political hatchet man” and suppressing freedom of expression. Yuen Siu-kin said his party colleague Kam Nai-wai had experienced something similar, and expressed concern about the repeated occurrence of political suppression, saying that “it is no longer a frog being boiled slowly in warm water; it is a frog being scalded in boiling water”. He stressed that they would pursue the matter to the end and fight back against white terror.

60萬人初選投票 戴耀廷促政權看清「港人從沒放棄追求民主」
The pan-democratic camp’s Legislative Council primary completed voting on Sunday evening. Benny Tai, an associate professor in the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Law who was responsible for coordination and organisation, and others met reporters. Tai said the significance of the vote had become more important than finding representatives of the pan-democratic camp to contest Legislative Council elections, because even amid the enactment of the National Security Law, 600,000 Hong Kong people remained undaunted and persisted in making their voices heard. He urged those in power to see clearly that “Hong Kong people have never abandoned the pursuit of democracy.”
