黃之鋒獄中撰文 指張秀賢早被質疑與中間人打交道
Former Yuen Long district councillor Tommy Sau Yin Cheung was exposed as having substantial unpaid debts and was accused of “betraying” the cause. He acknowledged having debt problems but denied betraying it. Joshua Wong, who worked with him in Scholarism, wrote a lengthy article from prison saying that Tommy Sau Yin Cheung had already been questioned about dealing with “middlemen” when he was a Scholarism spokesperson. “This was not publicly explained in the past, but with matters having become this serious, I also feel that it should be presented more comprehensively, as a lesson to learn from.”

Lee Wai-king, a fellow Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress legislator for Kowloon Central, said only that she would write to the authorities to convey her views: “I am now drafting a letter to give to the government authorities. I have also asked them to listen more to stakeholders’ views and do more public explanation.”

綠在觀塘3噸紙包飲品盒未有交喵坊 團體促環保署徹查後嚴懲
The Environmental Protection Department confirmed that after GREEN@KWUN TONG collected 3 tonnes of beverage cartons last year, it handed them to downstream recycler Baguio for processing, but Baguio did not transfer the batch to recycler “Mil Mill”. Edwin Che Feng Lau, director-general of The Green Earth, said on a radio programme today that the incident would inevitably affect public confidence in “GREEN@COMMUNITY”, and urged the Environmental Protection Department to conduct a thorough investigation and severely punish the organisations at fault, including banning them from bidding for government contracts again.

工會撤回明集會申請 周四起按章工作
The Cathay Pacific Airways Flight Attendants Union has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with management’s rostering arrangements, pay and benefits since last year. In December, it issued a “final ultimatum”, saying it did not rule out escalating action during the Lunar New Year period. The union had originally planned to hold a public rally tomorrow (18th), but withdrew its application to protect members’ safety after Cathay refused to allow the union to hold the rally outside Cathay City. It will instead maintain its plan to begin working to rule on the 28th day of the lunar month (19th). In response to an inquiry from The Independent Media, Cathay said it had resolved the arrangements for January rosters and guaranteed that flight services would continue to operate as normal, so there was no need for concern.

甘浩望第三年赴赤柱監獄靜坐 嘆香港未復常：好人仍在獄中
At the start of the new year, Father Francoise, who has long been concerned about human rights in Hong Kong, held a sit-in outside Stanley Prison for the third consecutive year to support imprisoned pro-democracy figures. Although anti-pandemic measures including LeaveHomeSafe and the cap on gatherings have recently been substantially relaxed, and Hong Kong and mainland China resumed border crossings yesterday, the priest said Hong Kong had still not returned to “normal”. He said with a wry smile: “Good people are still in prison.” Father Francoise had originally been holding a sit-in at Government Headquarters to campaign for the right of abode in Hong Kong for the mainland Chinese children of Hong Kong people. Police discovered this morning that he had “split himself in two” and hurriedly called to remind him: “You’re being too high-profile. Yes, that’s right—this isn’t allowed!”

爛尾樓苦主遊行告吹變遞信 全因無人願做申請人
A group of buyers affected by unfinished property projects in the Greater Bay Area had planned, following the cancellation of the gathering restriction, to mobilise 300 to 500 people to march from Sheung Wan to the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR to petition against unscrupulous property developers for harming the country’s reputation. The march was ultimately called off, and the group instead went to the Office of The Ombudsman to submit forms of complaint. Asked why the plans had changed at the last minute, an affected buyer told InMedia that no one was willing to act as the march’s applicant, making it impossible to hold it.

香港人權律師逃往外國 中共清洗異議、維權人士 港府指與政治立場、背景或職業無關
A feature report published by Reuters yesterday, 29 December, said Hong Kong is witnessing numerous malicious acts targeting human rights lawyers, including anonymous threats, tracking devices being placed in cars and attacks by pro-China media. Some prominent legal figures have even been detained by the government, prompting many Hong Kong human rights lawyers to leave Hong Kong and flee abroad. One example is British national Michael Vidler, a practising lawyer in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong who represented Joshua Wong, Ken Tsang and Chu Hoi-dick in social movement cases. He left Hong Kong in April 2022 after a judge had named his law firm six times in the preceding months, which he believed indicated that national security authorities would investigate him.
據路透社昨 12 月 29 日公布的專題報告，香港現在有許多針對人權律師的惡意行為，包括匿名威脅、在汽車放置追蹤設備、被親中媒體攻擊等，甚至一些知名法律人士遭政府拘留，令許多香港人權律師都離開香港，逃向外國。例如韋智達（ Michael Vidler ），他是英國人，英國和香港的執業律師，曾代表黃之鋒、曾健超、朱凱廸等社運案件。他在 2022 年 4 月離開香港，原因是數月前法官六次點名其律師事務所，韋智達認為這是國安將會調查他。

民女消失一週年 中大生以紙箱製民女像記念
The Goddess of Democracy statue that had stood at The Chinese University of Hong Kong for 11 years was removed by the university without warning on Christmas Eve last year. Today, some mainland students at CUHK organised a “First Anniversary Commemoration of the Disappearance of the CUHK Goddess of Democracy”, returning to the statue’s original site to recreate it with cardboard and distribute “Clear Re-election Plague Capsules” Christmas sweets. One mainland student said that today marked the first anniversary of the Goddess of Democracy’s disappearance, so they had deliberately returned to the original site to commemorate it.

數百翠林邨民跋涉西貢開大會 房署投票通過使用招標妥
Tsui Lam Estate in Tseung Kwan O, which is embroiled in a dispute over major maintenance works, again selected Sai Kung, far from the estate, as the venue for its owners’ meeting today. The concern group “Tsui Ka” hired 10 Citybus buses to take hundreds of residents there. With Housing Department representatives voting, the meeting resolved to use the Urban Renewal Authority’s TenderSure for the major-maintenance tender. However, a motion to remove the current owners’ corporation was rejected by 60% of the votes, with the department remaining neutral. “Tsui Ka” volunteer Eddy described the outcome as “mixed”, saying authorisations had again been cancelled without reason at the meeting and that the group would follow up on the matter.
