蘋果案︱多個國際組織發聲明 批法治淪喪憂黎智英死在獄中
Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital, was found guilty, prompting multiple international and human rights organisations to issue statements condemning what they described as an unjust verdict by the Hong Kong government. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) said the case involved a retaliatory and “preordained verdict” that trampled on the rule of law and amounted to a political prosecution. Several organisations said it was an important moment for governments, particularly those of the United States and the United Kingdom, to pressure Beijing to release Lai. Some also expressed concern about Lai’s physical condition and feared that he could die in prison.
Luke de Pulford, co-founder and executive director of IPAC, said on social media today (15th) that if recent reports about Lai’s health were accurate, “he very likely could die in prison”. He said Lai was not a criminal and could have chosen to leave Hong Kong, but did not do so. This, he said, was “a considered decision, a conscious act of self-sacrifice”. De Pulford said Lai used his profile “to show the world what the Chinese Communist Party truly is”.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英被判罪成，多個國際及人權組織發聲明，譴責港府判決不公。其中「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」指，這場是帶有報復性、且「預定好的判決」，踐踏法治，是政治審判。多個組織並認為，現在是多國政府特別是美國及英國，向北京施壓，要求釋放黎智英的重要時刻，有人亦憂慮黎智英的身體狀況，會死在獄中。
IPAC共同創辦人：黎智英自我犧牲向世界揭示中共真面目
「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」（IPAC）共同創辦人暨執行董事裴倫德（Luke de Pulford）今（15日）在社交平台表示，如果近期有關黎智英健康狀況的報道屬實，「他很可能會死在獄中」。他認為黎智英不是罪犯，本身可以選擇離開香港，但他沒有，「這是一個深思熟慮的決定，是一種有意識的自我犧牲」。裴倫德指黎智英利用自身影響力，「向世界揭示中共的真面目」（ use his profile to show the world what the Chinese Communist Party truly is）。

青年被控男廁寫煽動字句 認損壞財產否認煽動 庭上指涉案字眼曾見於「唐英傑案」
An 18-year-old youth was accused of writing seditious words on three occasions in a men’s washroom at China Hong Kong City in Tsim Sha Tsui in July this year. On Monday (15th), at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, he pleaded guilty to three counts of “destroying or damaging property” and not guilty to one count of “doing one or more acts with seditious intention”.
Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak adjourned the case to 23 February next year for a pre-trial review. The defendant may remain on bail under the existing conditions. The magistrate directed the defence to decide as soon as possible whether it would dispute the wording involved. The prosecution and defence must decide before the pre-trial review whether to call expert witnesses, while the prosecution must first deal with the agreed facts for charges other than the sedition charge. The court was told that the wording had previously appeared in the Tong Ying-kit case. The defence also said it would challenge at trial the voluntariness of the cautioned statement and the video-recorded interview, among other matters.
18 歲青年被指今年 7 月，三度於尖沙咀中港城男洗手間內寫上煽動字句。他周一（15 日）在西九龍裁判法院承認 3 項「摧毀或損壞財產」罪，並否認一項「出於煽動意圖作出一項或多項具煽動意圖的作為」罪。
總裁判官蘇惠德將案件押後到明年 2 月 23 日作審前覆核，被告可以原有條件保釋。官要求辯方盡早決定會否爭議涉案字眼，而控辯雙方需在審前覆核之前，決定會否就此傳召專家證人，控方則要先處理除「煽動」罪以外的同意案情。庭上透露，相關字眼曾出現在「唐英傑」案。另外辯方指，審訊時會爭議警誡口供、錄影會面的自願性等。

蘋果案裁決｜鄧炳強指案件與新聞自由無關：「利用新聞報道作幌子、行禍港之實」
The verdict in the Apple Daily case was delivered today (15th), with Jimmy Lai found guilty of three charges involving conspiracy to incite subversion and collusion with foreign forces. Secretary for Security Chris Tang told reporters in the afternoon that he directly rebutted claims that someone had been jailed for journalistic work, stressing that the case was unrelated to press freedom. He said Lai had merely “used news reports as a cover to carry out acts harming Hong Kong” over many years, adding that “his conduct is shameful and his evil must be punished”. Tang also criticised Lai for having consistently treated young people as tools, saying that his “remaining value” today was merely to be used by the West to smear Hong Kong and China. He also urged Western politicians and media to ask themselves honestly: “If it were your children who had been incited and had to bear the legal consequences, what would you think?”
蘋果案今日（15日）裁決，黎智英三項串謀煽動及勾結外國勢力罪成。保安局局長炳強下午見記者，他點名反駁記者指稱有人因新聞工作而身陷囹圄，強調案件與新聞自由無關，又指黎智英只是多年來「利用新聞報道作幌子、行禍港之實」，是「其行可恥，其惡當懲」。他又斥責黎智英一直視年輕人為工具，到今日其「剩餘價值」只是被西方用來抹黑香港和中國，又要求西方政客、媒體撫心自問，「如果被鼓動、要承受法律後果嘅係你嘅仔女，你會點諗呢?」

蘋果案裁決｜黎智英罪成 記協：造成不可逆轉傷害 國際人權、新聞組織同聲批評
Jimmy Lai, the former founder of Next Digital, was found guilty of three offences, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. Chief Executive John Lee said the law did not allow people of any profession or background to harm the country under the guise of human rights, democracy or freedom. Li Kwai-wah, Senior Superintendent of the National Security Department, said Lai’s conduct had nothing to do with press freedom: “It was manufacturing news and promoting political objectives.”
The Hong Kong Journalists Association, international press organisations and human rights groups also issued statements in response to the verdict. The HKJA expressed extreme regret, describing it as “irreversible harm to Hong Kong’s journalism sector”. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Amnesty International also criticised the verdict. CPJ described the conviction as a “shameful act of persecution”, while Amnesty International said the ruling “sounds the death knell for press freedom in Hong Kong” and stressed that Lai must be released immediately and unconditionally.
前壹傳媒集團創辦人黎智英被裁定串謀勾結外國勢力等三罪罪成，特首李家超指法律不容任何職業或背景人士，假借人權、民主、自由之名傷害國家，國安處總警司李桂華則指黎的行為和新聞自由無關，「係製造新聞，推動政治目的」。
記協、國際新聞和人權組織，亦發聲明回應裁決。記協對裁決表示極度遺憾，形容是「對香港新聞界造成不可逆轉傷害」。保護記者委員會(CPJ) 及國際特赦組織亦發聲明批評， CPJ 形容定罪是「可恥的迫害行為」，後者則指裁決「為香港新聞自由敲響喪鐘」，組織強調黎必須立即、無條件獲釋。

黎智英被裁罪成 港澳辦批「馬前卒」特首指「可恥歹毒」 多國反對譴責促釋放
After being held on remand for five years, Jimmy Lai was convicted of conspiracy to collude with external forces and other offences. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, the Liaison Office and the Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong criticised Lai as a “pawn of anti-China forces” and a “traitor to China and national enemy”. Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the country’s fundamental interests and the welfare of residents, and that “his conduct was shameful and his intentions vicious”.
The United Kingdom, Australia and the European Union opposed and condemned the verdict, while the Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s unconditional release. The Foreign Ministry said it was strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to certain countries’ open denigration and smearing of Hong Kong’s judicial system. International press groups said the verdict undermined press freedom, a claim the Hong Kong government rebutted.

黎智英勾結外力罪成 9人明年1.12求情 港澳辦港府批黎 英澳歐盟譴責反對裁決
In the national security case against Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai, three High Court-designated judges ruled on Monday (15th) that Lai was guilty on three charges involving conspiracy to collude with external forces and incitement. He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Lai and the other eight defendants were remanded in custody until mid-January next year for mitigation submissions, and the judges said they would announce the sentencing date as soon as possible. Lai’s wife and lawyers did not respond to the verdict. His children in the UK said they were saddened and worried that their father’s health would deteriorate.
In their judgment, the judges said Lai had harboured resentment towards China for many years and that, both before and after the implementation of the National Security Law, his sole intention was to seek the downfall of the Chinese Communist Party, even at the expense of the interests of the Chinese and Hong Kong people. The judges described Lai’s hatred of the Chinese Communist Party as extremely intense, saying it remained strong even when he gave evidence in court. They ultimately ruled that, in pursuit of his political objectives, Lai conspired separately with Apple Daily executives and the “Chung Kwong team” to incite and collude with external forces, with the aim of weakening the authority of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments and seeking foreign sanctions.
Various parties responded after the verdict. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office described Lai as a “pawn, traitor and national enemy”, while Chief Executive John Lee said Lai had harmed the national interest and condemned him as “shameful and vicious”. The UK, Australia and the European Union condemned and opposed the verdict, while the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China called for Lai’s release. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong dissatisfaction at what it called open smearing and vilification, and urged that there be no interference. The Hong Kong government also rebutted the criticism, saying the case had nothing to do with press freedom.
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英國安案，3 名高院指定法官周一（15 日）裁定黎串謀勾結外力、煽動 3 罪成，他最高可被判囚終身。黎與另 8 被告續還押至明年一月中處理求情，官指盡快公布判刑日期。黎妻及律師未回應裁決，黎在英國的子女則稱感悲傷，憂父健康惡化。
法官在判詞指，黎長年對中國心懷怨恨，指他無論在《國安法》實施前後，唯一意圖是尋求中共倒台，即使要犧牲中國人民、香港人的利益也在所不惜。官形容，黎對中共極為仇恨，甚至在他出庭作供時，仇恨依然強烈，最後裁定黎為求達到政治目的，分別與《蘋果》高層、「重光團隊」串謀煽動及勾結外力，以削弱中港政府的權威，以及尋求外國制裁。
各方在裁決後回應，港澳辦形容黎為「馬前卒、漢奸國賊」，特首李家超指黎損國家利益，批「可恥、歹毒」。英、澳、歐盟譴責及反對裁決，美國的中國委員會促釋放黎。外交部指強烈不滿公然詆毀抹黑，敦促不得干預，港府亦反駁指案件無關新聞自由。

23 條｜國安警首引用「非法操練罪」拘九人 行動檢獲槍械、懷疑爆炸品等
The National Security Department held a press conference today (12th), announcing that it had for the first time enforced the “unlawful drilling” offence under Article 13 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. The department said it had received a public report alleging that weapons were being stored and military-style training was being conducted in an industrial building in San Po Kong. After an investigation, the relevant conduct was found to involve a breach of the “unlawful drilling” offence. Six men were arrested yesterday at the industrial building in San Po Kong, followed by the arrest of three more men. The nine men remain detained for investigation. Long-barrelled air guns and air pistols, short knives and long swords, suspected explosives and other items were seized during the operation.
Li Kwai-wah, Senior Superintendent of the Police National Security Department, said the investigation found that some of those arrested had worn clothing commonly associated with “black-clad violence” and had visited the site of the Wang Fuk Court fire. He also said that after the fire, some people had used clothing and slogans commonly seen in 2019 and 2020 to spread hatred, making people feel there were “signs of black-clad violence”. He said the arrests “tell us clearly that these signs involve violence” and that the matter could not be taken lightly.
國安處今（12日）召開記者會，公布首度引用《維護國家安全條例》第 13 條下「非法操練罪」執法。國安處指收到市民舉報懷疑有人在新蒲崗工廈，收藏武器及進行類似軍事形式的訓練，調查後相關行為涉違反「非法操練罪」；昨先在新蒲崗工廈拘捕 六名男子，其後再拘捕多三名男子，九人仍被扣查。行動中檢獲長氣槍和氣手槍、短刀和長劍、懷疑是爆炸品等等。
警務處國安處總警司李桂華指，調查中發現有被捕人曾著「黑暴常用服裝」，到過宏福苑火災現場。他又指火災後有人用 2019、2020 年常見的服裝、口號等散佈仇恨，令人感到有「黑暴嘅苗頭」，而今次拘捕行動「正正話我地聽，呢個苗頭帶有暴力性」，不能掉以輕心。

前高級入境事務助理831太子站被捕 警方結案後遭革職 提覆核指局方無理拒信記錯
A former senior immigration assistant was arrested at Prince Edward station on August 31, 2019. Police closed the case the following year and returned the exhibits. The Civil Service Bureau subsequently launched an internal investigation and dismissed her in May this year. She earlier applied for judicial review, arguing that the bureau unreasonably refused to accept that her memory had been unclear when she gave evidence, causing her to misremember details including the route she had taken.
The case was heard in the High Court on Wednesday (10th). The applicant's side stressed that she had not deliberately concealed anything, but had simply misremembered her journey 18 months earlier. It said that experiencing pregnancy and childbirth, as well as facing heavy pressure, had affected her memory and performance during interviews. The bureau argued that she had been able to give a detailed account of the locations and times of other journeys that day and had clearly come prepared. It therefore concluded that she had deliberately provided misleading information to conceal the facts, and that the decision to dismiss her was not improper. Judge Ko Ho-man adjourned the case until February 13, 2026, for judgment.
一名前高級入境事務助理，2019 年 8 月 31 日在太子站被捕，警方翌年結案並歸還證物。公務員事務局其後展開內部調查，今年 5 月將她革職。她早前提出司法覆核，指局方無理拒納她作供時記憶模糊，以致記錯乘車路線等細節。
案件周三（10 日）於高等法院聆訊，申請方強調她並非刻意隱瞞，只是記錯 18 個月前的行程，而且因經歷懷孕分娩，又承受沉重壓力，影響記憶及會面表現。局方則指，她可仔細交代當日其他行程的地點及時間，明顯有備而來，故最後判斷她刻意提供誤導資料，以隱瞞事實，作出革職決定並無不妥。法官高浩文押後至 2026 年 2 月 13 日頒下判詞。

反恐第二案｜無罪何培欣直接向終審法院申上訴許可 據悉涉訟費及證物處理
In the second case under the anti-terrorism legislation, five of the eight defendants, including Ho Pui-yan, were found not guilty of all charges. The latest information on the Court of Final Appeal’s website shows that she has directly applied to the CFA for leave to appeal. It is understood that the appeal concerns legal costs and the handling of exhibits, and that procedurally it must be dealt with directly by the CFA.
After the verdict, Ho Pui-yan’s side applied for legal costs. High Court trial judge Chan Chung-hang said she had brought suspicion upon herself and rejected her application. Police found HK$163,000 and RMB400 at Ho Pui-yan’s residence. The court ruled that the defendant had obtained the money in the course of committing the offence and had it placed in her custody, and ordered its forfeiture.
反恐條例第二案，8 名被告中有 5 人獲裁定全部罪名不成立，包括何培欣。終審法院網頁最新顯示，她已向終院直接申請上訴許可。據悉，有關上訴與訟費及證物處理相關，而程序上需直接循終院處理。
何培欣一方在裁決後申請訟費，原審高院法官陳仲衡指她自招嫌疑，駁回其申請。警方在何培欣住所搜出 16.3 萬元港幣及 400 元人民幣，官裁斷是被告在犯案過程中取得，交由她保管，予以充公。

涉YouTube披露國安處會面內容 評論人王岸然被控妨害調查等兩罪 還押明年一月訊
Former vice convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front and current affairs commentator Wong Ngan-yin was accused of disclosing on YouTube the contents of a meeting with the police National Security Department and publishing videos with seditious intent. He was charged with “obstructing the investigation of offences endangering national security” and “knowingly publishing publications with seditious intent”. The case came before the court for the first time on Tuesday (9th). It was the first time police had used the offence of obstructing an investigation to bring a prosecution.
The prosecution applied for an adjournment to allow police to further investigate more than 2,400 videos on the defendant’s YouTube channel and 15 electronic devices seized, and opposed bail. After hearing submissions from both sides, national security law-designated judge and Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak refused bail and adjourned the case until 20 January next year for a further hearing.
