邵家臻指應對監獄酷熱問題並不複雜：AI都識答啦
Former Legislative Council member Shiu Ka-chun, who was jailed over the Occupy Central case, has continued to focus on prisoners’ rights. He wrote last week urging the Correctional Services Department to address the problem of excessive heat in prisons. Appearing on a programme hosted by former Democratic Party chairwoman Emily Lau on Thursday (July 20), Shiu said addressing the problem was not complicated, remarking that “even artificial intelligence can answer it”. He said AI’s answers included improving air-conditioning systems and providing chilled water, adding that it only depended on whether the authorities would “do it”.
曾因佔中案入獄的前立法會議員邵家臻，一直關注囚權，上周曾發文促懲教署正視監獄酷熱問題。邵家臻周四（7月20日）出席前民主黨主席劉慧卿節目表示，應對監獄酷熱問題其實並不複雜，指「人工智能都識答啦」，AI給他的答案包括改善空調系統、提供凍水等，邵家臻指僅視乎當局「做唔做」。

反送中青年 獄中接受「去激化」教育
The Washington Post reported that people under 21 imprisoned for participating in the Anti-Extradition Bill Movement undergo a process of “deradicalisation” education in prison aimed at suppressing “radical” political ideas, including publicly repenting for their past protest activities.
Large numbers of people deemed to hold “radical ideas” have been remanded in custody or convicted for participating in the Anti-Extradition Bill Movement. The Correctional Services Department said that, to help them “break away from radical thoughts and behaviour”, it assesses them according to different “radical thought characteristics” and provides “deradicalisation” rehabilitation programmes, including learning about Chinese history and national education, as well as psychological and values reorientation.
華盛頓郵報揭露，因參與「反送中」而在囚的21歲以下人士，在獄中接受壓制「激進」政治思想的「去激化」教育過程，包括要對以往的抗爭行為公開懺悔。
由於參與「反送中」運動，大量「思想激進」人士被還押或定罪。懲教署稱，為協助他們「擺脫激進思想及行為」，會以不同的「激進思想特徵」對他們進行評估，並提供「去激化」更生項目，包括認識中國歷史及國民教育、心理及價值觀重整等。

鄒幸彤六四被單獨囚禁
Former vice-chairwoman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China Chow Hang-tung staged a 34-hour hunger strike today. Former Hong Kong Federation of Students secretary-general Jonathan Ching Wa Chan said prison authorities arranged for her to be transferred, for another reason, to a separate cell known colloquially as the “water-rice room”. The Correctional Services Department told Light Media that it would not comment on individual cases. Amnesty International disclosed recently that Chow wrote back to a friend in Taiwan last October. In the letter, she lamented, “I never imagined that I would now become the recipient of letters,” and thanked her friends for writing to her, saying, “With your support, how could I possibly give up?”
前支聯會副主席鄒幸彤今日進行34小時的絕食，學聯前秘書長陳清華稱，她遭獄方以另一理由安排她轉倉至俗稱「水飯房」的獨立囚倉。懲教署回覆《光傳媒》指，不會就個別個案作出評論。而國際特赦組織日前披露鄒幸彤去年10月回信給台灣朋友，她在信中慨嘆「想不到現在竟成為收信的對象了」，又感謝寄信的朋友，「有你們支持著，又怎可能放棄呢！」

鄧炳強指探監師思想滲透 罪名等同送車師接載暴徒逃走
The Government often refers to Hong Kong moving “from stability to prosperity”, but Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung said prominently this afternoon that some people were still attempting to endanger national security. This time, he targeted “prison visitors”. Tang said they were carrying out “ideological infiltration” among inmates, promoting “Liberate Correctional Services” and fanning anti-government sentiment among young prisoners. He alleged that some visited prisons frequently and had many targets, with one person visiting 59 inmates as many as 395 times over several years. Tang said prison visitors were no more than people who harboured resentment towards society after being jailed over the anti-extradition bill movement, sought to make money or wanted to obtain “political dividends”. He warned that if anyone sought to endanger national security, “if there is evidence, I will arrest you; if there is evidence, I will prosecute you.”
政府常提香港「由治及興」，但保安局局長鄧炳強下午高調提及社會仍有人試圖危害國家安全，今次針對對象是「探監師」。鄧炳強指探監師向在囚人士進行「思想滲透」，鼓吹「光復懲教」並向在囚青年燃點反政府情緒。他指控有人探監次數頻繁且對象多，有人數年間探訪59個囚犯，次數多達395次。鄧炳強指探監師無非是曾因反修例入獄而對社會心存怨恨、想斂財或想拿取「政治紅利」的人，警告若有人想危害國家安全，「有證據就拉你，有證據就告你。」
