軍裝警「獵人書店」站崗一小時 抄出入人士身份證 店長黃文萱欲了解原因 引述警稱：唔需要向你交代
As the 35th anniversary of the June 4 incident approaches, with “sensitive dates” drawing near, police have gradually taken actions to “show concern” for various former pro-democracy figures. This afternoon (2nd), a uniformed police officer stood outside Hunter Bookstore, opened by former Civic Party district councillor Wong Man-huen, for about an hour and recorded the identity card details of people entering and leaving. When Wong asked the officer about the reason, the officer said: “I don’t need to explain it to you.”

六四｜ 基督教刊物《時代論壇》頭版開天窗 社評：歷史化作空格
On the eve of the 35th anniversary of the June Fourth Incident, Christian media outlet Christian Times, which for many years published a commemorative prayer before June Fourth, left the front page of its latest issue blank. The editorial department wrote a brief statement: “The front-page feature in this issue has been unable to appear due to circumstances. We hope readers will understand.” Its editorial, titled “Praying on the Shoulders of Historical Memory”, said that “the turn from spring to summer that year” was the collective memory of a generation of Hong Kong people, as well as an enlightenment in and standard for political ethics. As a media organisation, it said, it must not fail history or its readers, and “can only turn paragraph after paragraph into blank spaces and a field of white, in response to the current situation.”
六四事件35周年前夕，多年來會在六四前刊登紀念禱文的基督教媒體《時代論壇》，在最新一期期刊頭版開天窗，當中編輯部寫下簡短聲明，指「今期頭版專題因事未能刊出，還望讀者見諒。」其刊物的社評以《站在歷史記憶的肩膀上禱告》為題，指「那年的春夏之交」是一代港人的集體記憶、政治倫理的啟蒙與定規，而作為傳媒，要毋負歷史、毋負讀者，「惟有將段段文字化作空格子與一片白，以應對當前局勢。」

六四 35｜日港人續辦燭光集會 人數遜去年「考慮人身安全無可厚非」
On Saturday evening (June 1), on the eve of the 35th anniversary of June 4, several dozen people from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan gathered outside Shinjuku Station in Tokyo to commemorate June 4, 1989, for another year. Compared with the nearly 100 people who attended last year, this year’s turnout of several dozen appeared relatively sparse. William, a Hongkonger who co-organised the vigil, said he understood that the event was sensitive and that “it is understandable for them to consider their personal safety”. However, after Chow Hang-tung and six others were accused days earlier (May 28 and 29) of “using a sensitive date” for incitement and arrested by police under Article 23, William became more convinced of the significance of holding vigils overseas. A Hongkonger living in Japan has attended commemorative vigils there for three consecutive years, hoping to continue conveying the message of vindicating June 4.
六四 35 年前夕的周六晚上（6月1日），在日本東京新宿站外，來自中、港、台、日的數十人，再一年聚集悼念八九六四。相比去年有近百人參與集會，今年數十人出席顯得較為冷清，協辦集會的港人 William 表示，明白活動性質敏感，「佢哋考慮返自己人身安全係無可厚非」。但鄒幸彤等七人日前（28、29日）被指「利用某敏感日子」作煽動，被警方以 23 條拘捕，令 William 更堅信在海外舉辦集會的意義。有居日港人已經連續三年在日本出席悼念集會，望可將平反六四的訊息，一直傳遞下去。

周守仁撰文不點名指事件仍令人不安 稱寬恕不代表忘記
Next Tuesday marks the 35th anniversary of June 4. The government has, for the first time, arrested seven people under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung said at a media briefing that some people had used “sensitive dates” to engage in incitement. Yesterday (30th), Cardinal Stephen Chow of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong also referred to the June 4 incident without naming it in an article titled “At This Time Every Year …”. He said that “the life-consuming event that took place in the capital 35 years ago” continues to make many people uneasy, and that reconciliation and healing can be achieved only through forgiveness, stressing that forgiveness does not mean forgetting.
下周二是六四35周年，政府首次動用《維護國家安全條例》拘捕7人，保安局局長鄧炳強會見傳媒時就稱有人利用「敏感日子」作煽動行為。天主教香港教區樞機主教周守仁昨日（30日）亦撰文不點名提及六四事件，發表題為《就是每年這時期…… 》的文章，指「三十五年前發生在首都那場耗人生命的事件」仍然令很多人不安，認為透過寬恕才可實現修和與治癒，並強調寬恕不代表忘記。

獅子山亮起「64」燈光 匿名登山者：港人已沒有免於恐懼自由
The characters “64” have become among the Hong Kong government’s “sensitive dates” and “topics” this year. Undeterred by intimidation, a group of Hongkongers climbed to the summit of Lion Rock and raised illuminated signs bearing “64”, “JUN 4” and “Glory HK”, among other messages.
The UK-based Hong Kong group “Leeds Siblings Connection” received an anonymous submission saying that “a group of Hongkongers climbed the mountain through the mist, with glory illuminating the summit of Lion Rock.” The climber, Mr Leung, said Hongkongers would never forget “8964”. Commemorating June 4 has become part of Hongkongers’ memories and a legacy, reminding people of memories of the past and hopes for the future—both important forces for social progress.
Mr Leung said, however, that “in Hong Kong today, there is no longer June 4; there is only May 35. On other days, the slightest lack of caution or inappropriate wording could bring trouble upon oneself. Hongkongers no longer have ‘freedom from fear’.” He said he understood why people were afraid, but hoped Hongkongers would still remember, amid the silence, why they had been unable to sleep throughout the night in 2019. He urged Hongkongers to remain calm and rational, build community networks to ease feelings of loneliness, and maintain their physical and mental health.
「六四」二字，成為今年港府的「敏感日子」和「課題」。不過一班香港人無懼恫嚇，到獅子山頂高舉寫上「64」、「JUN 4」、「Glory HK」等燈牌。
英國港人組織「列斯手足連線」收到匿名投稿，指「一眾香港人在迷霧裏登山，榮光照亮獅子山頂。」登山者「梁先生」認為，對於香港人來說，永遠不會忘記「8964」 。悼念六四成為香港人的回憶及傳承，提醒大家對過去的記憶和對未來的希望，這些都是社會進步的重要動力。
然而梁先生指，「今時今日的香港，再沒有6月4日，只有5月35日，其他日子稍有不慎，用詞不當都可能惹禍上身。香港人已經沒有『免於恐懼自由』。他明白為何恐懼，但希望香港人在噤聲中，仍然記得2019年為何徹夜難眠」。他寄語香港人要保持冷靜和理性、建立社區網絡以減輕孤獨感、及保持身心健康。

六四35周年｜曾遭拆六四掛畫稱煽動 前區議員陳嘉琳接警方提醒勿犯國安法
This year marks the 35th anniversary of June 4, with the “sensitive dates” approaching. After the National Security Department made its first arrests under Article 23, involving six people including Chow Hang-tung on suspicion of sedition, former Sai Kung district councillor Chan Ka-lam had multiple departments visit her shop “Sai Kung Store” last year to conduct “inspections” while distributing candles. A candle banner outside the shop was removed by police on the grounds that it allegedly involved sedition. Chan wrote on her page yesterday (30th) that police had called to “check on” her and asked whether she would be “running” on June 4, adding a friendly reminder to be careful not to breach the National Security Law.
今年是六四35周年，「敏感日子」將至，繼國安處首引23條拘捕鄒幸彤等6人稱煽動後，去年在店舖「西多」派發蠟燭被多個部門上門「巡查」，門外一幅蠟燭掛畫被警方以涉煽動為由移除的前西貢區議員陳嘉琳，昨（30日）在專頁發文指被警方致電「關心」，六四當天會否「跑步」，並作溫馨提示：小心切勿觸犯《國安法》。

譴責香港政府藉「煽動意圖罪」打壓平反六四的和平訴求
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre condemned the Hong Kong government for arresting six people yesterday (May 28) under the offence of seditious intent in the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (the Ordinance), including Chow Hang-tung, who is currently remanded pending trial after being charged with subversion of state power for serving as vice-chair of the Alliance. We believe the Hong Kong government’s arrests are intended to suppress calls by opinion leaders to vindicate the June 4 incident, create a powerful chilling effect before June 4, and prevent speech and activities in Hong Kong concerning the commemoration of, or calls to vindicate, the June 4 incident.
香港人權資訊中心譴責香港政府昨天（5月28日）以《維護國家安全條例》(《條例》) 的 「煽動意圖罪」拘捕六人，包括現正還押候審，因作為支聯會副主席而被控顛覆國家政權罪的鄒幸彤。我們認為香港政府的拘捕行動是為了打壓意見領袖提出平反六四事件的訴求，以在六月四日前製造強大的寒蟬效應，杜絕香港社會出現有關悼念或要求平反六四事件的言論和活動。

The Police National Security Department arrested another 53-year-old woman on Wednesday (29), alleging that she was involved with the five women and one man arrested yesterday, including former Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China vice-chair Chow Hang-tung, in suspected offences in connection with seditious intention under Section 24 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.

According to a government press release, a total of seven people were arrested over the two days.

被問敏感日子是否六四 鄧炳強稱不重要：重點在有人藉此煽動
The government has, for the first time, invoked the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance to arrest six people. Secretary for Security Chris Tang briefed the media in the evening and confirmed that one of them was Chow Hang-tung, the former vice-chairwoman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, who is currently remanded in custody. Tang said the social media page “Siu Tung Group Chat Club” had repeatedly published posts with seditious intent, referring to “a special date coming up”. He declined to disclose what content involved “sedition” or how it was “inciting”. Asked whether the “sensitive date” he referred to was June 4, Tang said, “The date is not important”; the focus was on people exploiting it to incite hatred against the government, the central government or judicial institutions.
】政府首次動用《維護國家安全條例》拘捕6人，保安局局長鄧炳強傍晚向傳媒簡述案件，確認其中一人是正在還柙的前支聯會副主席鄒幸彤。鄧指社交平台專頁「小彤群抽會」利用「嚟緊一個特別日子」，持續發佈具煽動意圖的帖文。對於帖文什麼內容涉及「煽動」、如何「煽動」，鄧一概指不便透露。有記者問他口中的「敏感日子」是否即是六四，鄧炳強稱「日子唔係重要」，重點是有人藉此煽動憎恨政府、中央政府或司法機構。

鄒幸彤等6人被捕 政府指涉違新煽動罪 「利用將至的敏感日子」發布煽動帖文
The Police National Security Department announced on Tuesday (28) that it had arrested six people for allegedly breaching the sedition offence under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. It said they had “used an impending sensitive date to repeatedly publish posts with seditious intent, inciting hatred among members of the public towards the Central Government, the HKSAR Government and the judiciary, and intending to incite internet users to organise or participate in unlawful activities at a later time.”
The six arrested include Chow Hang-tung, the former vice-chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance who is currently remanded in custody in the Hong Kong Alliance subversion case. The Witness confirmed through sources including friends and lawyers of those arrested that the other two were former Tsuen Wan District councillor Kim Kam Chan and dentist Ying Chi (Med) Lee. According to reports by other media, the remaining three were Chow Hang-tung’s mother, former Hong Kong Alliance Standing Committee member Ka Yee (1980) Lau, and Kwan Chun-bong.
Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung confirmed that the case was related to a Facebook page called “Siu Tung Kwan Chau Wui”. He also said: “Actually, I think the date itself isn’t important; what’s most important is that these people who want to endanger national security are using these topics.” This was the first arrest operation publicly announced by the National Security Department since Article 23 was gazetted and implemented on 23 March. Under the new law, offences related to seditious intent carry a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment upon conviction.
警方國安處周二（28 日）公布拘捕 6 人，指涉嫌違反《維護國安條例》下煽動罪，「利用某個將至的敏感日子，持續發布具煽動意圖的帖文，挑起市民對中央政府、特區政府及司法機構的憎恨，及意圖煽動網民在較後期間組織或參與非法活動。」
被捕 6 人包括正因支聯會顛覆案還押的支聯會前副主席鄒幸彤。《法庭線》從被捕人士友好、律師等消息，確認另外兩人為前荃灣區區議員陳劍琴、牙醫李盈姿。另根據其他傳媒報道，餘下 3 人為鄒幸彤母親、前支聯會常委劉家儀及關振邦。
保安局局長鄧炳強確認，案件與名為「小彤群抽會」的 Facebook 專頁有關，又稱「其實我諗個日子本身唔係重要，最重要係呢啲想危害國家安全嘅人利用呢啲課題」。這次是 23 條自 3 月 23 日刊憲實施後，國安處首次公開的拘捕行動。而新例下的煽動意圖相關罪行，若罪成最高可處監禁 7 年。
