街招風波｜碧瑤即炒四清潔工 對質時不在場 兩被炒女工受訪呼冤：拆街招需拍照，漏影補拍惹誤會
A member of the public uploaded a video to Facebook yesterday (24th), alleging that outsourced cleaners working for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department in Sham Shui Po had apparently been “putting up, removing and photographing their own street posters” while clearing posters. The department responded the same day that the four workers involved had been suspended and the matter referred to police for follow-up. The case developed further this morning (25th), when the contractor, Baguio, summarily dismissed all four workers.
Two female co-workers who were not captured in the video and were not present when the workers were confronted were also dismissed. In an interview with The Witness, the two women gave their account and said the incident was simply a “misunderstanding”. They said the work of removing street posters required three photographs to be taken and submitted to the street-team supervisor as proof. They had merely “forgotten to take the photos” at the time and subsequently took supplementary photographs. They asked: “There’s no bonus for removing more posters, so why would we do that?” One of the women expressed helplessness over being fired, saying: “I want to be reinstated, but I don’t want to make such a fuss.”
有市民昨（24日）在社交媒體 Facebook 上載一段影片，指有食環署外判清潔工人，在深水埗工作期間，懷疑「自貼、自拆、自拍 」清理街招。食環署同日回應指，涉事四名工人已停職，並轉介警方跟進。事件今（25日）早再有進展，四名工人被外判商「碧瑤」即時解僱。
其中兩名未被影片拍攝到，事發時被對質時，並不在場的同組同女工，同被解僱。兩名女工友接受《集誌社》訪問，說出她們的版本，解釋事件只是「誤會」，稱「拆街招」工作，需拍三次相片，交予街站管工以作證明，事發時只是「忘記影」，因而「補影」，指「拆多張（街招），又唔會有bonus，點解要咁做？」女工對被炒感無奈，她說：「想復職又唔想搞咁多嘢」。

原定記協Plan B春茗場地逸東酒店 職員稱宴會樓層「裝修緊」
The Hong Kong Journalists Association’s fundraising spring banquet was cancelled twice in succession. Plan B for the banquet was originally scheduled to take place tonight at the Eaton Hotel in Jordan. InMediaHK visited the hotel in the afternoon and found a sticker on the lift’s button for the second floor stating: “The lift is currently temporarily unable to reach this floor. We apologise for the inconvenience.” The two banquet halls on the second floor were locked. Hotel staff told reporters, “We’re renovating,” but there were no visible signs of renovation at the scene.
香港記者協會籌款春茗晚宴連續兩度被取消，晚宴「Plan B」原定今晚在位於佐敦的逸東酒店舉行。《獨媒》下午到逸東酒店視察，升降機內的2樓按鈕，貼上印有「升降機現時暫停到達此樓層，不便之處，敬請原諒。」字句的貼紙。位於2樓的兩間宴會廳已上鎖，酒店職員則對記者稱「我哋裝修緊」，惟現場未見任何「裝修」痕跡。

俄烏戰爭三周年 團體銅鑼灣示威反戰
Tomorrow (24 February) marks the third anniversary of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in what it called a “special military operation”, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to date. Members of the Facebook page “反戰動員 HK Anti-war Mobilization” protested outside Sogo department store in Causeway Bay today (23 February), demanding that Russia immediately end its aggression, return territory to Ukraine and provide compensation. Three members dressed respectively as US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, satirising Putin’s coercion of Ukraine into surrender and Trump’s alleged exploitation of the situation after taking office by demanding that Ukraine repay money and hand over half of its US$500 billion worth of rare-earth mineral resources. After the action ended, several plain-clothes police officers checked the identity cards of the members and journalists present.
明日（2月24日）是俄烏戰爭爆發三周年。2022年2月24日，俄羅斯以「特別軍事行動」為名入侵烏克蘭，至今死傷無數。Facebook 專頁「反戰動員 HK Anti-war Mobilization」成員今日（2月23日）到銅鑼灣崇光百貨外示威，要求俄羅斯立即停止侵略，歸還領土予烏克蘭並作出補償。3名成員分別扮演美國總統特朗普、烏克蘭總統澤連斯基及俄羅斯總統普京，諷刺普京壓迫烏克蘭投降，以及特朗普上任後趁火打劫，要求烏克蘭還款並讓出5,000億美元的一半稀土礦藏。行動結束後，數名便衣警員向成員及在場記者查身份證。

記協盃場地因風大棄水馬改鐵欄圍封 工人指將更換球場草皮
The Hong Kong Journalists Association had originally planned to hold the HKJA Cup football tournament in January, but the Jockey Club Kitchee Centre cancelled its booking before the event. It subsequently rented the No. 8 seven-a-side artificial turf football pitch at Happy Valley Recreation Ground, managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, but the tournament was again called off after “sudden” maintenance works were scheduled to continue until 31 March. The Initium inspected the pitch two weeks ago and found it enclosed with water barriers and metal fencing by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. When the outlet visited again this morning (the 21st), the pitch was enclosed with metal fencing, while the water barriers had been placed to one side. Staff were asked about the progress of the works, and a worker said the turf across the entire No. 8 pitch needed to be replaced. The worker said the water barriers had toppled because the winds were too strong, so metal fencing was used instead. The Initium is seeking comment from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and is awaiting a response.
香港記者協會原定1月舉行記協盃足球賽，惟賽前遭賽馬會傑志中心取消租用，之後改租康文署轄下跑馬地遊樂場8號七人人造草地足球場，又因「突發」維修工程至3月31日而令賽事再度告吹。《獨媒》兩周前曾視察球場，發現康文署以水馬及鐵欄圍封球場。記者今早（21日）再到球場視察，球場現由鐵欄圍封，水馬則放置一旁﹐並向職員查詢工程進展，在場工人表示整個8號球場的草皮需要更換，水馬則因風勢太大傾倒，所以改用鐵欄圍封。《獨媒》正向康文署查詢，尚待回覆。

懲教署：截至去年底591人涉「黑暴」或違國安在囚 佔約6.2%
The Correctional Services Department invited some media to attend its annual press conference today to review its work last year, and issued a press release afterward. As of 31 December last year, 591 people in custody were involved in “black-clad violence” or national security offences under the National Security Law or the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, down 24% from 776 in 2023.

英國居民收香港來信籲帶鍾翰林往使館領百萬賞金 鍾：未必與港府有關
A London resident recently received a letter from an unknown source stating that Chung Hon-lam, founder of the Hong Kong Independence Advocacy Committee who is living in exile in the UK, is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a bounty, and that anyone who takes him to the Chinese embassy can receive a HK$1 million reward. Chung told our broadcaster that the address in the letter was not his actual address. He believed someone wanted to create fear among advocates overseas, and also believed the sender might not be connected to the Hong Kong government. A spokesperson for the HKSAR government denied sending the anonymous letter and said that people overseas could report to the local police if necessary.
有倫敦居民近日收到來歷不明的信件，內容提到流亡英國的「香港獨立倡議委員會」創辦人鍾翰林，正被港府懸紅通緝，並指將他帶到中國大使館，可獲100萬港元賞金。鍾翰林向本台表示，信中地址並非其真實住址，認為是有人希望引發海外倡議者的恐懼，同時相信寄件者未必與港府有關。特區政府發言人亦否認寄出匿名信，並指海外人士有需要可在當地報警。

記協春茗｜後備場地「未能招待」 晚宴取消 專心網上拍賣 記協主席：政治氣候蠶蝕商業市場
The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) said on 20 March that Eaton HK notified it on 19 March that it was “unable to host” the spring gathering fundraising banquet, without providing a reason. Regal Hongkong Hotel had cancelled the booking for the event’s original venue the previous Friday (14 March), citing unstable electricity supply; the event had then been moved to a backup venue and postponed from 15 to 24 March. The HKJA said it would continue seeking new ways and spaces to meet, and would activate other contingency plans so that the spring gathering fundraising could proceed. The auction originally planned for the banquet would instead be held online. Speaking to reporters at Eaton HK in the afternoon, HKJA chair Cheng Ka-yu said the spring gathering fundraising banquet had to be cancelled. She believed other parties had pressured the hotel, saying this was not a rational commercial decision.
香港記者協會（記協）上周五（14日）被富豪香港酒店以「電力不穩」為由取消春茗籌款晚宴場地預訂，活動轉「後備場」，由原訂的 15 日，延至 24 日舉行；記協今（20日）公布，昨（19日）收到場地逸東酒店通知，對方在沒有提供原因下指「未能招待」晚宴。記協表示，「會繼續尋求新的方式和空間與各位相聚」，亦將啟動其他後備方案，讓春茗籌款能繼續舉行。而原定於晚宴現場的拍賣，會改網上進行。
記協主席鄭嘉如下午在逸東酒店見記者表示，要取消春茗籌款晚會。她認為是有其他方面向酒店施壓，因這不是一個理性的商業決定。

「的士罷工」再告吹 發起人黃羽庭：畀機會政府改改自己
The “taxi strike” was declared “stopped” today, less than a week after it was being planned. Wong Yu-ting, chairman of the Hong Kong Radio Taxi Association, had earlier said a five-day refusal to drive would begin on March 5. The Transport Department urgently invited industry representatives to a meeting. After the meeting, Wong said Chief Executive John Lee had promised yesterday to step up enforcement against white-plate vehicles, and announced that the refusal-to-drive action would be stopped. He said stopping the action this time was to “give it a chance, give the government a chance to change itself”, and hoped enforcement departments would “arrest one for every illegal white-plate vehicle they see”. Asked whether the “strike” would return if enforcement was insufficient in future, Wong said the “highest leader in Hong Kong is the Chief Executive”; if even his remarks could not urge his “subordinate departments” to act, “we have nothing more to say, and there will be no need to say anything in future”.
「的士罷工」在醞釀不足一周後，今日宣告「停止」。香港無線電的士聯誼會主席黃羽庭早前揚言3月5日發起罷駛5日，運輸署急邀業界代表開會，會後黃羽庭表示特首李家超昨日已承諾執法打擊白牌車，宣布停止罷駛行動。他表示今次停止罷駛是「畀機會囉，畀機會政府囉，改改自己」，希望執法部門對違法白牌車「見一單拉一單」。至於將來倘見執法力度不足，「罷工」會否捲土重來？黃羽庭稱香港「最高領導人係特首」，若其言論亦無法督促「下屬部門」，「我哋都無咩好講，將來都無需要講嘢」。

國際毛皮時裝展會展舉行 動保團體抗議消費者助紂虐殺動物
Russia and Belt and Road countries in Central Asia have long been major buyers of fur products. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to Western sanctions, Hong Kong became an important channel for obtaining fur. The Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair was held for four consecutive days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Animal protection organisations staged a protest, saying that every piece of fur came from a living animal. They said several Western countries had already abandoned fur and called on conscientious consumers to reject the fur industry. The person responsible for organising the activity also said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus had been detected at multiple farms in Europe and the United States, as viruses could spread easily among animals living in harsh and overcrowded conditions.
Five animal protection advocates staged a “performance art” protest at Central Plaza this morning. One person dressed in black, wore a mask and portrayed the Grim Reaper, holding a prop sickle bearing the words “Fur Leads to Death”, pointing towards the convention centre and shouting slogans. They accused the exhibition of “loving death and embracing suffering”, saying that there was “fresh rabbit fur and fox fur inside” and that it was “filled with the smell of suffering and bloodshed”. They mocked the fur exhibition for taking place in an era that attaches importance to animal rights. During the protest, several Central Plaza staff members and plainclothes police officers put up barriers and traffic cones to separate the protesters from pedestrians.
俄國和中亞「一帶一路」國家一向是皮草商品大戶，俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭遭受西方制裁後，香港成為取得皮草的重要管道。香港國際毛皮時裝展覽一連4日在於灣仔會展舉行，動物保護組織發起抗議，指每一塊皮草都是來自活生生動物，多個西方國家已經摒棄皮草，呼籲良心消費者向皮草業說不。發起活動的負責人更表示，在新冠疫情期間，在歐美多個養殖場都被驗出新冠病毒，因為動物在惡劣擠迫的環境下，容易傳播病毒。
由五名動保人士今早在中環廣場進行「行為藝術」抗議，有人身穿黑衣、頭戴面具打扮成死神，手持寫有「皮草通向死亡」的道具鐮刀，指著會展方向高叫口號，指控展覽「熱愛死亡，擁抱痛苦」、「入面有新鮮兔仔皮、狐狸皮」、「充滿痛苦及血腥的味道」，諷刺皮草展在處於重視動物權益的年代。抗議期間，有數名中環廣場職員及便衣警員設置欄杆及雪糕筒分隔抗議人士與行人。
