國際人權日｜27個國際人權組織發表聯合聲明 籲港府釋放鄒幸彤和李卓人
Today (10 December) is International Human Rights Day. Twenty-seven international human rights organisations, trade unions and legal professional bodies issued a joint statement calling on the Hong Kong government to release Chow Hang-tung and Lee Cheuk-yan and withdraw all national security-related charges against them. The statement said their detention by the Hong Kong government was “arbitrary”, and that their calls for the Chinese authorities to disclose the truth about the June 4 incident, as well as their roles in the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and the trade union, “should never be grounds for prosecution”. The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) also launched the “Free Lee Cheuk-yan” international solidarity campaign, demanding Lee’s immediate release.
The statement was initiated by Amnesty International, the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute and the International Trade Union Confederation, and jointly issued with 24 other international human rights organisations, international trade unions and legal professional bodies worldwide. It expressed regret that the trial of former Hong Kong Alliance vice-chair Chow Hang-tung and former Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions secretary-general Lee Cheuk-yan had been further adjourned from November this year to 22 January next year.
今日（10日）是國際人權日，27個國際人權組織、工會和法律界專業團體發表聯合聲明，呼籲港府釋放鄒幸彤和李卓人，並撤銷他們所有的國家安全相關控罪。聲明指出港府對二人的拘留屬「任意性質」，而他們呼籲中國當局公開六四事件真相，及在支聯會和工會的角色，「絕不應成為檢控的理由」。另外，國際工會聯合會（ITUC）亦發起「Free Lee Cheuk-yan」國際聲援行動，要求立即釋放李卓人。
聲明由國際特赦組織（Amnesty International）、國際律師協會人權研究所（International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute）、國際工會聯合會（International Trade Union Confederation）發起，聯同全球24個國際人權組織、國際工會和法律界專業團體聯合發表，聲明對前支聯會副主席鄒幸彤和前職工盟秘書長李卓人的審訊，由今年11月進一步押後至明年1月22日表示遺憾。

有「一戶一社工」指壓力爆煲 收指令急Call災民即日見面講選舉
The Legislative Council election will be held as scheduled tomorrow (December 7). Residents of Wang Fuk Court, affected by the fire and temporarily staying in other districts, were previously told by the authorities that the Social Welfare Department’s “one social worker per household” scheme would notify them of the new polling-station arrangements. X (a pseudonym), one of the social workers involved, told The Independent that a supervisor suddenly instructed all staff to meet fire victims that same day to explain the polling-station arrangements and ask about their intention to vote. X said frontline workers all found it difficult to broach the subject. When making calls, they would begin by saying, “I’m sorry, I know this is very urgent,” and would come up with “any excuse” they could, such as saying they wanted to deliver supplies, help the person apply for aid or conduct a home visit. X considered arranging meetings with the victims intrusive: “I feel guilty in my conscience. As a social worker, I help people when they are in need; they shouldn’t have to accommodate me and do what I need to do.”
立法會選舉將於明日（12月7日）如期舉行，宏福苑居民受火災影響，需暫住其他地區，當局早前稱透過社署「一戶一社工」通知新票站安排。「一戶一社工」之一的X（化名）向《獨媒》表示，日前上司突然要求所有同工與災民即日會面，講解票站安排及詢問投票意向。X表示前線皆感難以開口，致電時「劈頭就係一句唔好意思，我知好急」，並千方百計「咩藉口都要攞出嚟」，例如說要送物資、幫對方申請資助、家訪等。X認為約見災民是滋擾：「良心過意唔去。我作為一個社工係人哋有需要時去幫人，唔應該佢嚟迎合我，做我需要做嘅事。」

宏福苑五級火｜鄧炳強去信華爾街日報 稱社評試圖抹黑詆毀香港
Secretary for Security Chris Tang wrote to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), saying its editorial, “No Fire Critics Allowed in Hong Kong,” about the five-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po was biased and completely unfounded, and sought to smear and denigrate Hong Kong, which he said was deeply regrettable.
Several media outlets quoted Tang as saying in the letter that the HKSAR Government’s top priority was to provide comprehensive support to those affected, including financial assistance, accommodation arrangements and psychological counselling. However, the WSJ editorial did not mention this at all.
Although the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, Tang said the investigation was under way and law enforcement agencies had taken action. Police arrested 15 people involved in the case on suspicion of manslaughter, while the Independent Commission Against Corruption also arrested 12 people during its investigation. The Government also announced that it would establish an independent committee chaired by a judge, with experienced professionals among its members, to comprehensively review the incident. The move would help overcome obstacles that any vested interests might create, hold those responsible to account, and reform the system related to building construction to prevent similar tragedies from occurring again.
保安局局長鄧炳強去信《華爾街日報》（WSJ），指該報一篇針對大埔宏福苑五級火的社評〈No Fire Critics Allowed in Hong Kong〉偏頗及毫無根據，試圖抹黑詆毀香港，令人深感遺憾。
多間媒體引述指，鄧炳強在信中說特區政府當前最首要的任務是為受災人士提供全方位支援，包括經濟援助、住宿安排、心理輔導等，不過《WSJ》的社評完全未提及這點。
雖然火災起因尚待確定，但鄧炳強指調查工作正在進行中，執法部門已展開行動，警方以涉嫌「誤殺」拘捕 15 名涉案人員，而廉政公署亦在調查過程中拘捕 12 人。另外，政府宣布會成立由法官主持的獨立委員會，成員將包括有經驗的專業人士，並會全方位審視事件；此舉將有助於克服任何既得利益者（可能製造）的障礙，追究責任，同時改革樓宇建造相關制度，防止未來再次發生類似悲劇。

宏福苑五級火｜浸大學生會遭校方「勒令停運」 民主牆貼對政府「呼籲」被遮蓋、撕紙
After the five-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, the Hong Kong Baptist University Students’ Union put up messages including “We earnestly appeal to the government to respond to public demands by accepting good advice” and “WE ARE HONG KONGERS” on noticeboards and the Democracy Wall. After the messages were covered and the papers torn down by the university over several days, the Students’ Union was ordered by the university to suspend operations on Thursday night. Hong Kong Baptist University said it had immediately suspended the committee’s operations because, among other reasons, the interim executive committee had not demonstrated a willingness to comply with university regulations, including those concerning financial management.
