梁振英「警告」法輪功學員 芬蘭外交部：不接受恐嚇行為
Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Hong Kong’s former chief executive, was accused of “publicly warning” Falun Gong practitioners whom he said he would investigate in Helsinki, Finland. The Finnish Foreign Ministry confirmed to BBC Chinese that the incident occurred and said it could not accept any acts of intimidation.
A Falun Gong group released a video alleging that on 13 August, Leung and his wife, Tang Ching-yi, carried out “public verbal intimidation” against Falun Gong practitioners who were practising in Helsinki’s Sibelius Park. Leung, who holds the status of a Chinese state leader, said he would investigate them.
The Finnish Foreign Ministry described the incident as an “unfortunate event”, while an organisation associated with Falun Gong called it the “latest example of the Chinese Communist Party’s transnational repression”.
BBC Chinese sought comment from the office of Hong Kong’s former chief executive in China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but had not received a reply by Friday the 22nd.
中國全國政協副主席、香港前特首梁振英被指在芬蘭首都赫爾辛基「公開警告」會調查法輪功學員，芬蘭外交部對BBC中文證實該事件發生，並稱不能接受任何恐嚇行為。
法輪功群體發佈影片稱，8月13日，梁振英與妻子唐青儀在赫爾辛基西貝柳斯公園（Sibelius Park）對正在練功的法輪功學員「進行公開的言語恐嚇」。具備中國國家領導人身份的梁振英稱將調查對方。
芬蘭外交部形容這是一起「不幸事件」，法輪功關聯組織稱這是「中共跨國鎮壓的最新例證」。
BBC中文曾向中國香港特區前任行政長官辦公室尋求評論，截至星期五（22日）未獲回覆。

許智峯、鍾翰林獲澳英批出庇護 陳國基召見兩國駐港總領事表示強烈不滿
Former Legislative Council member Ted Hui, who is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a bounty offered, said last Saturday that he, his wife, children and parents had been granted protection status by Australia. Tony Chung, who is also wanted with a bounty offered, said the following Sunday that the UK Home Office had confirmed his refugee status. The Hong Kong government expressed strong opposition. On Monday, Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki summoned Australian Consul-General Wai Ka-fung and British Consul-General Tai Wai-sun, voicing serious opposition to any country sheltering criminals in any form and strong dissatisfaction with conduct that sheltered criminals under any pretext. He condemned the conduct of the two countries as utterly trampling on the principles of the rule of law and violating its spirit, saying it was not conducive to relations between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the governments of the two countries.
被港府懸紅通緝的前立法會議員許智峯，他上周六表示其和太太、兒女及父母已獲澳洲批出庇護身份；同被懸紅通緝的鍾翰林在上周日亦表示，獲英國內政部確認難民身份。港府表示強烈反對，政務司司長陳國基昨日更召見澳洲駐港總領事韋嘉鋒及英國駐港總領事戴偉紳，嚴正反對任何國家以任何形式包庇罪犯，並對以任何藉口包庇罪犯的行徑表示強烈不滿，斥兩國該行徑是徹徹底底地踐踏法治原則和違反法治精神，絕不利香港特區和兩地政府的關係。

美國人權報告｜《國安法》陰霾下 香港自由與法治面臨全面失守
The US State Department’s 2024 Human Rights Report says Hong Kong’s human rights situation continued to deteriorate over the past year, with Beijing and the Hong Kong government jointly dismantling the city’s autonomy and political freedoms. These actions included arbitrary arrests and detention, transnational repression of Hong Kong people overseas, severe restrictions on freedom of expression and the press, human trafficking, and severe suppression of trade union autonomy and workers’ rights. The report also sharply criticised the Hong Kong government for taking virtually no action, leaving the system for holding officials accountable effectively non-existent.
This is the first human rights report issued by the State Department since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, and its section on Hong Kong runs to 22 pages. The report states at the outset that the Hong Kong government has continued to invoke the Hong Kong National Security Law, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance implemented in March 2024 under Article 23 of the Basic Law, and other legislation to prosecute people for peacefully expressing political views and restrict the public’s freedom to criticise the government.
美國國務院發表《2024年度人權報告》指，香港的人權狀況在過去一年持續惡化，北京與港府聯手摧毀香港的自治與政治自由，包括任意逮捕及拘留、跨境打壓海外港人、嚴重限制言論及新聞自由、人口販運，以及嚴重打壓工會自主與勞工權益等。報告同時狠批港府對此幾乎毫無作為，導致追究官員的問責制度蕩然無存。
這是美國總統特朗普1月重返白宮後，國務院發表的首份人權報告，當中關於香港的篇幅全長22頁。報告開宗明義指出，港府持續引用《香港國安法》、2024年3月實施的《維護國家安全條例》（《基本法》第23條）和其他法例，起訴和平表達政治觀點人士，並且限制公眾自由地批評政府。

國安時代｜許智峯任建峰受滋擾上升到外長層次 澳洲外長黃英賢當面向王毅表不滿 人權觀察指區錦新是葡萄牙公民促澳門無條件放人
Former Hong Kong Democratic Party legislator Hui Chi-fung, who is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a HK$1 million bounty, and Yam Kin-fung, former convenor of the Progressive Lawyers Group, have continued speaking out for Hong Kong in Australia. In March this year, they were subjected to various forms of cross-border repression believed to have originated from China and Hong Kong. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong had already stated that this was completely unacceptable and that she would make representations to China and Hong Kong. During her attendance at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and related meetings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last month, she met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and reportedly expressed her dissatisfaction to him in person over the harassment faced by Hui and Yam.
Meanwhile, veteran Macau pro-democracy figure and former Legislative Assembly member Au Kam-san was arrested and detained by Macau national security police last Wednesday (30 July) over alleged violations of “Macao Article 23” and the National Security Law. He has been detained for more than a week and has still not been released. Condemnations and expressions of concern from the international community have continued to mount. The international human rights organisation Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday (the 6th) that Au is a Portuguese citizen, criticising the actions as reflecting the spread, under Chinese President Xi Jinping, of the suppression of dissent from China to Hong Kong and Macau. Wang Songlian, Human Rights Watch’s deputy China director, urged the Macau government to release Au Kam-san immediately and unconditionally.
遭港府懸賞100萬港元通緝的前香港民主黨立法會議員許智峯以及前法政匯思召集人任建峰在澳洲持續為香港發聲，今年3月受到相信來自中港兩地不同形式的跨境打壓。澳洲外長黃英賢早已表明完全不可接受，將向中港提出交涉。她上月在馬來西亞吉隆坡出席東盟外長及相關會議期間，與中國外長王毅會晤，據報當面就許、任兩人受到的滋擾，向王毅表達不滿。
另一方面，澳門資深民主派、前立法會議員區錦新被指涉嫌違反「澳門23條」、《維護國家安全法》上周三（7月30日）被澳門國安警拘捕、扣押逾一星期，仍未獲釋。國際社會譴責、關注聲浪一波接一波。國際人權組織「人權觀察」周三（6日）表示，區是葡萄牙公民，批評有做法反映中國國家主席習近平治下壓制異見的行動已由中國蔓延至香港和澳門，人權觀察中國事務副主任王松蓮促請澳門政府立即無條件釋放區錦新。

721 六年｜伯明翰港人辦街頭展 盼「說真香港故事」連結英國社群
Six years after the Yuen Long 721 attack, Hongkongers overseas organised commemorative gatherings in various places around the world. Unlike previous years, however, no Hongkonger organisations in Manchester or London formally initiated public activities this year. In Birmingham, a central English city, Hongkongers held activities on Sunday afternoon (the 20th) and Monday evening (the 21st), local time. Among them, “a group of Hongkongers opposing authoritarianism and the UK-based Hongkongers’ Prisoners’ Rights Concern Group” organised a “Tell the True Hong Kong Story” street exhibition in the city centre, saying it hoped to “restore a history that has been smeared and awaken the collective conscience”.
元朗 721 襲擊事件 6 年，全球多地都有海外港人發起集會紀念，但有別於以往，英國曼徹斯特及倫敦今年未有港人組織正式發起公眾活動。至於在中部城市伯明翰（Birmingham），則有港人在當時時間周日（20日）下午及周一（21日）傍晚發起活動。其中「一群對抗極權的港人及移英港人囚權關注組」，在當地市中心舉辦「說真香港故事」街頭展覽，指希望「還原被抹黑歷史、喚醒集體良知」。

美領事調往北京前接受HKFP專訪 稱領事館活動覓場越見困難 有場地因政府壓力臨時取消
After serving as the US Consul General in Hong Kong for three years, Gregory May, known for his down-to-earth image, is transferring to Beijing this week to become Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in China. In an interview with HKFP before leaving Hong Kong, he said it was becoming “increasingly difficult” for the Consulate to find suitable venues for events. Some venues cancelled bookings at short notice after accepting them, with some explicitly saying they had come under pressure from the Government. He said such incidents were not frequent, but had clearly increased.
May said that during his nearly three years in the post, he had encountered several instances of venues cancelling applications to hire them at short notice. Some had initially agreed to host events but later suddenly cancelled, while some openly acknowledged that they were under government pressure. Some venues said they had “received a phone call” or “received a message” telling them they “should not host sensitive events”; other reasons included “maintenance issues”.
出任美國駐港總領事三年、形象「貼地」的梅儒瑞（Gregory May）本周調往北京，任美國駐華大使館副館長。他在離港前接受《HKFP》專訪表示，領事館在港舉辦活動「愈來愈難」找到合適場地，有場地方在接受預約後臨時取消，部分更明言受到來自政府方面的壓力，他指，類似事件發生次數不算頻繁，但明顯有所上升。
梅儒瑞表示，在任近三年期間，已多次遇到有場地臨時取消租場申請，有場地原本同意承辦活動，但後來突然取消，有場地坦言受到政府壓力，部分場地稱「接到電話」或「收到訊息」「不應該承辦敏感活動」，其他原因包括「維修問題」等。

終院前海外法官何熙怡受訪 稱離任因國安法實施、現已取代基本法 港府反駁
Lady Hale, who served as an overseas non-permanent judge of Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal from 2018 to 2021 and was formerly President of the UK Supreme Court, recently told an academic journal that she did not seek reappointment after her term ended in 2021 because the National Security Law had been implemented and she felt it was time to leave. She described the National Security Law as having now “taken over” the Basic Law and said she believed her decision to leave was correct.
Lady Hale also said that the refusal to approve the appointment of King’s Counsel Tim Owen to come to Hong Kong to defend Jimmy Lai was an example of Beijing’s interference in Hong Kong’s courts. She said she did not want to be part of such a system and added: “I feel very sorry for them, very sorry.”
The Government issued a statement on Friday evening, criticising Lady Hale’s remarks about the National Security Law, the rule of law in Hong Kong and judicial independence as inconsistent with the facts. It said, “In particular, her claim that the so-called ‘National Security Law has overridden the Basic Law’ is absolutely incorrect and contrary to the facts.” The Government also pointed out that Lady Hale had previously said she did not seek reappointment for personal reasons, which differed from her current account.
The Judiciary did not directly comment on Lady Hale’s remarks, but reiterated that Hong Kong’s rule of law and judicial independence are safeguarded by the Basic Law. It said the Court of Final Appeal has six overseas non-permanent judges who, through their participation in hearings, have made significant contributions to the work of the Court and the development of Hong Kong’s judicial system.
曾於 2018 至 2021 年出任香港終審法院海外非常任法官、前英國最高法院院長的何熙怡，近日接受學術期刊訪問，談及自己 2021 年任期屆滿後不續任，是因為其時《國安法》實施，認為是時候退場，又形容現時《國安法》已「取代」（has taken over）《基本法》，她更相信當時離任的決定正確。
何熙怡又指，英國御用大狀 Tim Owen 不獲批准來港為黎智英抗辯，正是北京干預香港法庭一例，她指自己不想成為這種制度的一部分，又稱感到非常抱歉（I feel very sorry for them, very sorry）。
政府周五傍晚發稿回應，批評何熙怡對《國安法》及香港法治、司法獨立發表的言論與事實不符，「尤其她指所謂『國安法已凌駕《基本法》』這點絕不正確，有違事實。」港府又指出，何熙怡曾表示因私人原因不續任，與她現時的說法有異。
司法機構未直接評論何熙怡的說法，重申香港的法治和司法獨立受《基本法》保障，終院共有 6 名海外非常任法官，透過參與聆訊，對終院的工作及香港司法制度的發展作出了重大貢獻。

英倫示威｜在英港人 熱浪下舉牌默站：Everything is fine, if… 冀關注中國人權
Hongkongers in Britain joined Uyghurs, Tibetans and overseas pro-democracy supporters in a flash-mob silent protest outside St Martin-in-the-Fields Church near Trafalgar Square in Westminster, London, at 3pm on Saturday (28th). About 50 people held artistically designed signs with red backgrounds and yellow lettering, including “Everything is Fine”, “Everything is fine, if you just stay silent”, “Everything is fine… until the truth must hide” and “Everything is fine in Hong Kong, right are gone, life goes on”. Some participants also bound themselves with red ropes and covered their mouths with red tape to symbolise being silenced. The flash-mob action took place in four cities in the UK—London, Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds—and similar actions were held around the world on the same day, including in Edinburgh, Vancouver, Frankfurt and Berlin, New York and San Diego, Sydney, Austria, Lagos, Bern, Tokyo, Taipei and Taichung.
在英港人聯合維吾爾人、藏人及海外支持民主人士，周六（28日）下午 3 時於倫敦西敏市內特拉法加廣場（Trafalgar Square）附近的聖馬田教堂（St Martin-in-the-Fields Church）外發起快閃默站行動，約 50 人一同舉起藝術創作標語，標語以紅底黃字寫有「沒事 Everything is Fine」，「Everything is fine, if you just stay silent」（一切如常，若你只保持默沉默），「Everything is fine… until the truth must hide」（一切照常… 直到真相必被埋沒），「Everything is fine in Hong Kong, right are gone, life goes on」（香港一切如常，權利消失了，仍要繼續生活）等等，亦有行動者以紅繩捆綁自身，並在嘴上貼上紅膠帶「封口禁言」，是次快閃行動在英國內共有 4 個城市參與，包括倫敦、曼徹斯特、雪埠及列斯，同日在世界各地，如蘇格蘭愛丁堡、加拿大溫哥華、德國法蘭克福與柏林、美國紐約與聖地牙哥、澳洲悉尼、奧地利、奈及利亞拉各斯、瑞士伯恩、日本東京、台灣台北及台中均有相同行動。

獨立日酒會｜教育局「溫提」學校勿參與美國慶活動 梅儒瑞：從未發生過，絕非我認識的香港
The US Consulate General in Hong Kong held an Independence Day reception today (26th), Gregory May’s last appearance at the event before he takes up a post as deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in China next month. He has repeatedly expressed his affection for Hong Kong, saying the city is good because of its people and its spirit, but said measures taken by Beijing and the Hong Kong government in recent years had eroded the city’s freedoms. Media reports recently said the Education Bureau had “warmly reminded” several schools that students could potentially breach the national security law by taking part in US national day events organised by the consulate. In his first public response, May said he was disappointed and puzzled: “Try to find an element in this event that could affect the national security of any country.” He also said, “Being willing to engage and interact with the outside world is in Hong Kong’s DNA. This has never happened before, and it is absolutely not the Hong Kong I have known for many years.”
Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau, who attended the reception, criticised the United States’ so-called reciprocal tariffs in his speech as “illogical” and urged the US to correct them as soon as possible. At around 10 p.m., the Hong Kong government issued a 1,400-word statement criticising May for “completely disregarding the spirit of the rule of law” and using “untrue and biased remarks” to deliberately mislead the public and smear the National Security Law, for which it expressed strong condemnation. A spokesperson also said that legal proceedings in the case involving Jimmy Lai were still under way and that no one should comment on the case, “strongly urging US politicians to immediately stop interfering in the internal affairs of the HKSAR and the independent exercise of judicial power by the HKSAR courts.”
美國駐港總領事館今（26日）舉行獨立日酒會，是美國駐港總領事梅儒瑞下月調任美國駐華大使館副館長前，最後一次出席。他多次表達對香港的喜愛，形容香港之所以是美好的城市是因為有香港人和香港精神，惟認為近年北京和港府的舉措令香港的自由受到侵蝕。日前有傳媒報道，教育局向多間學校「溫馨提示」若學生參與領事館舉辦的美國國慶活動，可能觸犯國安法。梅儒瑞首度開腔回應，表示失望和不解，「你試試在這活動找出能夠影響任何國家安全的元素？」他又指，「勇於與外界接觸、互動，是刻在香港的 DNA 裏的。這樣的事情從未發生過，也絕不是我多年來認識的香港。」
出席酒會的商務及經濟局局長丘應樺，致辭時批評美國所謂對等關稅「不合邏輯」，要求美國盡快更正。特區政府在晚上十時多發 1400 字新聞稿，批評梅儒瑞「全然漠視法治精神，以不實和偏頗言論」，刻意誤導公眾和抹黑《國安法》，對此予以強烈譴責。發言人又指黎智英所涉案件的法律程序尚在進行，任何人不應評論案件，「強烈敦促美國政客立即停止干預特區的內部事務和特區法院獨立行使的審判權。」
