毛孟靜丈夫稱未同意英國會議員函英外相聯署信 妻子從未申請保釋
Philip Bowring, husband of Claudia Mo, a former pro-democracy lawmaker and one of the defendants in the primary election case, was previously hospitalised due to illness and later improved. Hong Kong Watch said recently that a group of UK MPs had jointly signed a letter to the UK foreign secretary, asking him to intervene and urge the Hong Kong government to release Mo. In a statement today (5th), Bowring said he had been out of the intensive care unit for nearly three weeks and stressed that he did not agree to or endorse the UK MPs’ joint letter. He also said that Mo had never considered applying for bail.

波斯尼亞冰球賽播錯《願榮光》 大會致歉並更正
Despite the Hong Kong government’s strenuous clarifications, the wrong national anthem was again played at an international sporting event involving a Hong Kong team. During a Division III match at the World Ice Hockey Championship being held in Bosnia, Hong Kong’s men’s team played Iran in the group stage. After the match, the organisers mistakenly played the anti-extradition bill song “Glory to Hong Kong” as the national anthem. It continued for about 10 seconds before a Hong Kong team member stopped it. The organisers apologised, corrected the error and played “March of the Volunteers”. The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China said it was seeking to understand the incident with the Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association.

美領館被「約見」後續稱關注香港自治受侵蝕 港府：肆意抹黑
Media reports recently said Liu Guangyuan, Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, had “asked to meet” Gregory May, the US Consul General in Hong Kong and Macau, urging him not to endanger China’s national security. A spokesperson for the US Consulate General said in response to media enquiries yesterday that it generally does not comment on “private diplomatic meetings”, but that the US would express, without hesitation, its deep concern about the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy, whether publicly or privately. In response to the consulate spokesperson’s remarks, a Hong Kong government spokesperson expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition, describing them as wanton smearing of the situation in Hong Kong.
近日有傳媒指外交部駐港特派員劉光源「約見」美國駐港澳總領事梅儒瑞（Gregory May），促對方勿危害中國國家安全。美領館發言人昨回應傳媒說，一般不評論「私人外交會面」，但美方不論公開或私下，都會毫不猶疑表達對香港自治受侵蝕的深切關注。港府發言人就美領館發言人的說法，表示強烈不滿和堅決反對，形容是對香港情況的肆意抹黑。

建制投書聯國撐港 經「CMAB」修改 縮寫與政府回應聯國用戶名相同 政制局認提「建議」否認參與
The United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) will meet this month to examine Hong Kong’s implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The committee’s website shows that 35 local and overseas non-governmental organisations have submitted views, more than double the number during the previous review in 2014. Half of the submissions came from local pro-establishment organisations. This newspaper found that in one submission by the district organisation Ming Foundation, the track changes function showed that two passages had been modified by “CMAB”, the same abbreviation as the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau. The HKSAR Government’s earlier Chinese response and annexes to the same committee were likewise opened as new documents or modified by “CMAB”.
聯合國經濟、社會及文化權利委員會（經社文權利委員會，CESCR）本月將開會審議香港落實《經濟、社會及文化權利國際公約》情况，該委員會網頁顯示，有35個本地及海外非政府組織提交意見書，是上次2014年審議時的逾倍，當中一半來自本地親建制組織。本報發現，其中一份由地區組織「明基金會」提交的意見書中，檔案追蹤修訂功能（track changes）顯示兩處經「CMAB」修改，與政制及內地事務局英文縮寫相同。特區政府早前回應同一委員會的中文回覆及附錄，同樣由「CMAB」開啟新檔或修改。

美國駐港總領事指釋法破壞司法獨立 外交部駐港公署嚴厲譴責
Gregory May, the US Consul General to Hong Kong and Macau who took office last year, said at a forum hosted by a US think tank that 15,000 Americans had decided to leave Hong Kong over the past two years, accounting for about one-fifth of the community there. He said tens of thousands of Americans still lived in Hong Kong and that 1,300 US companies operated there. The United States was a stakeholder and was speaking out because democracy and freedoms in Hong Kong were being eroded, rather than interfering as the Chinese side described it. The Office of the Commissioner of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong issued a statement strongly condemning him, saying May was engaging in the practice of “eating a meal and smashing the pot” and denigrating Hong Kong’s rule of law and freedoms.
去年上任的美國駐港澳總領事梅儒瑞，在一個美國智庫論壇上表示，過去兩年共有15,000名美國人決定離港，佔在港社群約兩成，目前仍有數萬名美國人在港生活，亦有1,300間美國公司在港，美國是持份者，對香港的民主自由被侵蝕而發聲，並非中方形容的干預。中國外交部駐港特派員公署發聲明嚴厲譴責，稱梅儒瑞做「吃飯砸鍋」勾當，詆毀香港法治和自由。

「光仔仔」入境澳門被拒 引述司警指言論偏激涉煽動
The man known as “Kwong Jai Jai”Thomas Hing Kwong Tsang, who previously staged a one-person protest at ATV, disclosed on social media yesterday (13th) that he was denied entry to Macau on Wednesday and deported to Hong Kong after being detained for about five hours. He said the Judiciary Police repeatedly questioned him during his detention about his views on the governments of mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, and reminded him that his “remarks were too extreme” and “might constitute incitement”. He said the incident was intended as a “minor punishment as a major warning”, and that he was warned Macau would not welcome him if he made similar remarks again.

英國《半年報告》指國安法效應滲透全港 中國駐英使館提嚴正交涉
The UK Foreign Office issued its six-monthly report on Hong Kong, saying that fear created by the National Security Law had permeated every level of society. It said the Hong Kong government continued to suppress and arrest pro-democracy figures, while people charged under the National Security Law were generally remanded in custody immediately and had little chance of being granted bail. The report said there was no doubt that China had failed to comply with the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and that Beijing had sacrificed Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms in order to exert further control over the city. The Hong Kong government issued a 3,200-word statement last night “strongly refuting” the report and urging the UK to stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs. The Chinese Embassy in the UK also expressed strong dissatisfaction and lodged a stern representation with the British side.
英國外交部發表《香港半年報告》，指《國安法》瀰漫的恐懼已經滲入社會各個層面，港府繼續打壓及拘捕民主派人士，而被控《國安法》的普遍被即時囚禁，獲保釋機會很微。報告指毫無疑問中國未能遵守《中英聯合聲明》，北京犧牲香港的權利和自由，進一步控制香港。港府昨晚發3,200字聲明「強烈反駁」報告，敦促英方停止干涉香港事務。中國駐英國使館亦提出強烈不滿，已向英方提出嚴正交涉。
