羅淑珮接受《紐時》訪問 港媒：鮮有官員接受外媒訪問 李家超未有計劃「破冰」
In recent years, Hong Kong government officials have rarely accepted interviews with foreign media. Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui recently gave an exclusive interview to The New York Times on how Hong Kong attracts overseas visitors, in what was seen as an official “ice-breaking” move. A column in Ming Pao cited sources as saying that officials had rejected numerous interview invitations from foreign media in the past. Although Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu had also agreed to be interviewed by an international financial media outlet, he has yet to fulfil that commitment. Gwong Media’s review of available information found that, apart from local English-language media, Lee had never been interviewed by other foreign media, in stark contrast to his predecessor, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor.
近年香港政府官員鮮有接受外媒訪問，文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩近日接受美國《紐約時報》專訪，談香港如何吸引外地旅客，被視為官員「破冰」舉動。《明報》專欄引述消息指過去發生多次外媒邀請官員訪問遭拒，雖特首李家超亦曾答應某國際財經傳媒接受訪問，但至今仍未兌現承諾。《光傳媒》翻查資料，發現李家超除了本地英文媒體，從沒接受其他外國媒體訪問，與上屆特首林鄭月娥形成強烈對比。

教育局更新小學英語課程指引 減少默書操練 加強國安教育
The Education Bureau has updated the Primary English Language Curriculum Guide, with a focus on Values Education. It aims to foster students’ national identity and awareness of national security. The bureau also said schools should regularly review and simplify the frequency and quantity of English dictations, tests and examinations, and that dictation results should account for no more than 10% of the English subject grade.
The updated guide is 290 pages long and sets out key curriculum focuses, including strengthening assessment literacy. The Education Bureau said schools should regularly review and simplify the frequency and quantity of English dictations, tests and examinations, and that dictation results should account for no more than 10% of the English subject grade. It said it did not recommend devoting lessons to dictation or examination drills, as this might not effectively consolidate students’ knowledge. The bureau suggested avoiding paper-and-pencil assessments during the first few months of Primary One to provide a pressure-free environment for learning English, and cancelling or avoiding mechanical English grammar drills for upper primary pupils so as not to affect their interest in learning English.
教育局更新《小學英國語文課程指引》，其中重點包括「價值觀教育」（Values Education），希望培養學生的國民身份認同與國家安全意識。此外，教育局指，校方應定期檢討及簡化英文默書及測考頻率及數量，當中默書成績不應佔逾 10% 英文科成績。
教育局更新《小學英國語文課程指引》，長達 290 頁，列出課程重點，其中包括加強「評估素養」。教育局指，學校應定期檢討及簡化英文默書及測考頻率及數量，當中默書成績不應佔逾 10% 英文科成績。教育局表示，並不建議課堂集中在默書和為考試操練，認為這樣未必能有效鞏固學生知識。教育局認為，小一首幾個月避免紙筆評估，以提供無壓力環境學習英文，並取消或避免高小生機械化操練英文文法，以免影響其學英文的興趣。

ARTBOX HK延期改場地 台灣檔主未獲通知需主動查問 本地檔主失信心或不參與
The Independent Media reported last month that ARTBOX HONG KONG 2025, a large container market originally scheduled to be held this month at the East Campus of Kai Tak Sports Park, was suddenly cancelled, causing substantial losses for overseas stallholders who had registered and planned to come to Hong Kong. The organiser announced on social media on Monday (9th) that the event would instead be held in late July and early August at the Art Park in the West Kowloon Cultural District. Some affected stallholders who made further enquiries with the organiser were told they could receive a refund of the difference in stall rental fees after registering again, or choose not to participate and receive a full refund of their deposit and rent.
One stallholder said they had originally registered because of the event’s large scale, hoping to gain publicity and meet more brands, but considered the organiser’s communication arrangements poor and might withdraw after the venue change and postponement: “Because I really don’t have much confidence in the organiser, and I’m also worried that the number of visitors will be affected.” Meanwhile, a Taiwan-based stallholder who had registered earlier said they had not received the latest information from the organiser: “You [the reporter] are the first [person to notify me].” They only learned that they could obtain a refund after making an enquiry themselves the following day.
The Independent Media asked the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department whether the ARTBOX HK event had obtained a Temporary Place of Public Entertainment Licence. The department replied that it was processing the relevant application. Asked whether the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority could confirm that it had approved the event, the authority said it assessed venue-hire applications according to established procedures and did not comment on individual cases.
The Independent Media also asked the organiser, Knighthood Event Ltd, about the event details and compensation for affected stallholders. Knighthood Event replied after publication of the report that all matters concerning the event could be found on ARTBOX Hong Kong’s social media platforms.
《獨媒》上月報道，原定今月在啟德體育園東營舉辦的巨型貨櫃市集「ARTBOX HONG KONG 2025」突然取消，令已報名及計劃來港的海外檔主損失慘重。主辦方周一（9日）在社交媒體公布，活動將改於7月尾及8月初在西九文化區藝術公園舉行。有受影響檔主向主辦方進一步查詢，獲確認可在重新報名後退回檔租差額，或選擇不參加並全數退回按金及租金。
有檔主坦言，原本因活動規模大、盼有宣傳效果及想認識更多品牌才報名參與，但認為主辦方溝通安排差，在改場延期後或選擇退出：「因為對主辦都真係無乜信心，又怕人流受影響。」另外，有早前報名的台灣檔主無收到主辦方告之最新消息，「你（記者）是第一個（通知我）」，並在翌日主動查詢下始知道可獲退款。
《獨媒》向食環署查詢，ARTBOX HK活動是否已經取得臨時公眾娛樂場所牌照？署方回覆稱正處理有關申請。至於西九文化區管理局能否確認已批准活動舉手？管理局就稱，按既定程序審批場地租用申請，不評論個別個案。
《獨媒》另向活動主辦方Knighthood Event Ltd查詢活動詳情及對受影響檔主的補償等，Knighthood Event在報道刊出後回覆指，有關活動的所有事項可留意ARTBOX Hong Kong社交媒體平台發佈。

外交部駐港公署轟美方公然為黃之鋒撐腰 不滿惡意抹黑港警正常執法
Joshua Wong, former secretary-general of Demosistō, was arrested by the Police National Security Department last Friday and charged with conspiracy to collude with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security. In response to a media inquiry, the US State Department recently said it strongly condemned the Hong Kong government’s new charges against Wong. The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in the Hong Kong SAR today accused the US State Department of openly backing and emboldening Wong, whom it described as an anti-China and anti-Hong Kong figure, and of maliciously smearing normal law-enforcement action by the Hong Kong police. It said this amounted to blatant interference in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs, and expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition.
Wong was involved in organising and participating in the 2020 pro-democracy primary and was charged with conspiracy to subvert state power. He pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to four years and eight months’ imprisonment. He is currently serving his sentence at Stanley Prison and is expected to be released in January 2027.
前香港眾志秘書長黃之鋒上周五被警方國安處拘捕，已被落案起訴「串謀勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家罪」，美國國務院日前回覆傳媒查詢時稱，強烈譴責港府對黃之鋒的新指控。外交部駐港特派員公署今日斥美國國務院公然為反中亂港分子黃之鋒撐腰張目，並惡意抹黑香港警方正常執法行動，赤裸裸干預香港事務和中國內政，表明強烈不滿和堅決反對。
黃之鋒涉及組織及參與2020年民主派初選，被控「串謀顛覆國家政權」罪，在去年認罪被判入獄4年8個月，現正在赤柱監獄服刑，預計2027年1月刑滿出獄。

反送中6年｜列斯「傘陣」打響紀念612頭炮 倫敦曼徹斯特雙城接力 HKDC籲英美撤銷香港經貿辦特權
As 12 June approaches its sixth anniversary, Hong Kong enacted the National Security Law in 2020 and completed the enactment of Article 23 of the Basic Law in 2024. As of 1 May this year, 326 people had been arrested by Hong Kong police on suspicion of endangering national security. Police have so far issued wanted notices carrying million-dollar bounties for 19 people over national security offences, while the Independent Commission Against Corruption has issued wanted notices for 12 people. Most have fled to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and elsewhere. The Leeds activists’ network fired the opening salvo of the 12 June commemorations last Saturday (7 June), setting up a street booth in Leeds city centre under the theme “Meet Under the Umbrella Formation, Never Forget 12 June”. The Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC) issued a statement urging the United Kingdom to reject China’s political interference, block plans for a new mega-embassy, and calling on the UK and US to revoke the diplomatic privileges and immunities enjoyed by Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices.
612轉眼即將踏入第六年，香港分別於2020年頒佈《港區國安法》、2024年完成《基本法》23條制定工作，截至今年5月1日為止，共有326人因涉嫌危害國安遭港警拘捕，而警方至今就國安罪行向19人發出百萬懸紅通緝令， 廉署通緝12人，大部份已流亡美國、英國、澳洲等地。列斯手足連線於上周六（7日）率先打響紀念612頭炮，在列斯市中心擺街站，主題為「傘陣下相逢，毋忘六一二」。香港民主委員會（HKDC）則發表聲明，敦促英國拒絕中國的政治侵擾，阻止新巨型大使館的規劃，並呼籲英美兩國撤銷香港經濟貿易辦事處所享有的外交特權與豁免權。

申訴署刪「訴」｜下架報告何處尋？ 網站時光機全備份 曾稱有版權 轉載會否違例？ 署方：建議諮詢法律意見
The Office of The Ombudsman’s earlier removal of years of reports from its website sparked controversy. Access now requires a written application and an in-person, time-limited visit to the office. However, the Internet Archive, a non-profit organisation, had long backed up the removed reports on the Wayback Machine. Asked whether publicly reposting links to the relevant archived reports, or publicly uploading the report contents, would violate the Copyright Ordinance, the Office told The Collective: “The Office suggests that you seek legal advice.”
申訴專員公署早前刪除網站多年報告引起爭議，現時需書面申請，親身到辦公室限時查閱。不過，非牟利組織 The Internet Archive 建立的平台「網站時光機」（Ｗayback Machine）早已備份下架的報告。被問市民公開轉載相關備份報告的連結，或公開上載報告內容會否觸犯《版權條例》。申訴專員公署回覆《集誌社》稱，「公署建議你諮詢法律意見」。

反修例六年｜英倫展覽 「記憶對視」 收集五噸藏品 感受社運回憶
On the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Movement, a group formed by Hong Kong people overseas, the Hong Kong Action Documentation Archive, jointly organised an exhibition centred on objects, memories and oral history. It aimed to connect Hong Kong people overseas with local residents. Exhibits included publicity materials from Hong Kong’s social movements over the years, a helmet broken by a tear-gas canister, dried shrimp carrying the flavours of Hong Kong, and short videos recalling places in Hong Kong. The first “Memory in Mutual Gaze” exhibition was held in London. More than 1,300 people took part in the week-long exhibition, nearly 40% of them local foreign nationals. Around 60 people attended the book launch on the final day. One participant praised the exhibition’s interactive map as innovative and highly interactive, saying she was deeply moved by seeing different people share their experiences anonymously. Curator Lau Tsz-ning said the exhibition’s focus was to use different forms of memory to inspire everyone to exercise their own agency (Agency): “Nothing can replace you yourself remembering your own memories and writing those memories in your own way.” Eric Yan-ho Lai, one of the editorial board of 《Half a Century of Struggle: An Oral History of Hong Kong’s 2019 Social Movement》, said publishing an oral history book was a decentralised “social experiment”. “First, we wanted to explore the various possibilities for leaving behind memories and history. Second, we wanted to ‘cast a brick to attract jade’, so that diaspora Hong Kong communities around the world, such as those in Taiwan, Japan, Australia and the United States, could also spontaneously organise records of Hong Kong social movement memories in various forms.”
反修例運動六年前夕，一群由海外港人組成的團體「香港行動文獻庫」合力籌辦以物品、記憶與口述歷史為題的展覽，旨在連繫海外港人與當地市民，展品包括歷年香港社會運動的文宣、被催淚彈打破的頭盔、盛載香港味道的蝦乾、回憶香港地方的短片等，「記憶對視」首展設在倫敦，為期一周的展覽有逾 1,300 人參與，當中近四成為當地外籍人士；展覽最後一天的新書發佈會約有 60 人出席，有參與者盛讚展覽中的互動地圖方式新穎且互動性強，觀察到不同人以匿名方式分享經歷讓她大受感動，策展人劉芷寧認為展覽的重點是以各種記憶方式，啟發大家實踐自身的能動性（Agency），「沒有東西能取代你自己，去記住自己的記憶，用自己的方法書寫記憶」。《半世紀的抗爭：香港2019年社運口述史》 編委之一的黎恩灝，認為出版口述歷史書籍屬一場去中心化的「社會實驗」，「我們先想尋覓各種留下記憶與歷史的可能性，其次是想『拋磚引玉』，讓身處世界各地的離散港人社群，如台灣、日本、澳洲、美國等，也能自發舉辦各種形式的香港社運記憶紀錄。」

有啟福居居民聯署向傳媒申訴問題後 遭終止租約
Kai Tak’s Kai Fook Court, which residents began moving into in August last year, saw about 180 residents sign a joint petition last month opposing the need to pay additional rates, with the charge for a two-person unit rising from about $142 to $160, and complaining about various management and facilities issues. After media reports last month, the management body Choi Sik Fook responded on social media, saying the estate’s mosquito and rodent problems were suspected to have resulted from tenants deliberately placing cockroaches there to cause trouble. This week, another media outlet “reported” that one of the tenants who initiated the petition was a “strange person”. Ms Chan, the tenant concerned, confirmed to InMedia that her lease had been terminated.
The Oriental Daily published a report on May 23 about tenants’ complaints at Kai Fook Court. Choi Sik Fook subsequently responded on social media, describing residents’ claim that the estate had no professional management as “fabricated”, and saying residents had known before moving in that, in addition to rent, they would have to pay rates, management fees, water and electricity charges, and telephone and internet fees.
去年8月起入伙的啟德「啟福居」，上月有約180名居民聯署，反對需額外繳納差餉（2人單位由約142元至160元），並申訴不同管理及設施問題。有傳媒上月報導後，管理機構齊惜福在社交媒體回應，稱屋苑內的蚊蟲鼠患問題是疑有租戶刻意放置曱甴搗亂。至今周，有另一傳媒「報導」發起聯署的租戶之一為「怪客」。該租戶陳小姐向《獨媒》證實，已被終止租約。
《東方日報》是於5月23日刊出啟福局租戶投訴的報導，及後齊惜福在社交媒體回應，形容居民稱屋苑無專業管理是「無中生有」，居民入住前已知悉除租金外，需額外繳交差餉、管理費、水電費、電話及上網費。

六四36｜維園亮燭光、持白花被帶走 青年與警推撞被捕 死難者後人悄悄悼念 警拘兩人扣查十人
On the 36th anniversary of June 4, Victoria Park, once a place for commemorating June 4, had become a hometown market carnival and a place where there were “police everywhere”. On a stormy night, some people insisted on entering the park to light candles, clasp their hands in prayer and lay flowers, but were surrounded by police and “escorted” away one by one. One man who was questioned argued and jostled with police and was put into a police vehicle. Outside Victoria Park, a junior secondary student brought a candle to mourn a June 4 victim who was important to him—his grandfather—but did not take it out amid the heavy police presence. By 11:30pm, police had arrested two people and detained 10 for questioning.
六四 36 年，從前悼六四的維園，變成了家鄉市集嘉年華和「無處不警察」。風雨飄搖的一夜，有人堅持入維園亮燭光、合十、獻花，結果一一被警察包圍、「送」走，有被盤問的男子，跟警察口角、推撞，被押上警車。維園外，一位初中生攜蠟燭前來，想悼念一位對他很重要的六四死難者–他的祖父，但在重重警察下，蠟燭還是沒拿出來。至六四晚上 11 時半，警方拘捕了兩人、扣查十人。

六四36．英國｜「國殤之柱」挺立曼徹斯特 前支聯會常委徐漢光出席悼念
About 200 Hong Kong people in the UK responded to a call to gather in central Manchester on Wednesday (4 June) to commemorate June 4. Other Hong Kong groups brought a replica of Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt’s “Pillar of Shame” to the site for display, prompting many local people to stop and learn about the 1989 democracy movement. Former Standing Committee member of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China Hon Kwong Tsui, who was convicted of violating the National Security Law and imprisoned before having the conviction quashed after release, also appeared and spoke. After the gathering, Hon Kwong Tsui told reporters that they would “take a break for a while” in the UK.
約 200 名在英港人響應號召，周三（4日）在英國曼徹斯特（Manchester）市中心集會悼六四。有其他港人組織將丹麥雕塑家高志活作品「國殤之柱」的複製品，運到現場展示，引來不少當地人駐足了解八九民運。曾被裁違反《國安法》入獄、出獄後獲撤銷定罪的前支聯會常委徐漢光亦現身發言，集會後向記者表示會暫時在英國「抖下」。
