高才通內地申請人涉虛報資料以獲批一家三口留港 被改控串謀詐騙明年1月答辯
A 47-year-old Chinese national allegedly falsely stated when applying to come to Hong Kong under the High Talent Pass Scheme that he had been awarded a Bachelor of International Business degree by Monash University in Australia. He later allegedly claimed that his education level was a higher education degree when applying for a Hong Kong identity card. The defendant was previously charged with “arranging for a false statement to be made to obtain an entry permit” and “providing false particulars to a registration officer”. The case was brought before the Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts again on Monday (December 1).
The prosecution applied to withdraw the charge of “providing false particulars to a registration officer” and amend the charge to conspiracy to defraud. It alleged that the defendant conspired with others to falsely state that he met the eligibility requirements when applying under the High Talent Pass Scheme, thereby inducing the Immigration Department to approve the stay of his family of three in Hong Kong. The defence applied for an adjournment to obtain documents and legal advice. Acting Principal Magistrate Kei Hong Cheang approved both applications and adjourned the case to January 12 next year for plea. The defendant was granted bail during this period on conditions including HK$200,000 cash bail and a HK$200,000 surety.
47 歲中國籍男子涉申請「高才通」來港時，虛報獲澳洲蒙納士大學頒授國際企業學士學位，其後於香港申請身份證時，假稱教育程度為高等教育學位。被告早前被控「為取得入境證而安排作出虛假陳述」及「向登記主任提供虛假詳情」兩罪。案件周一（12 月 1 日）在沙田裁判法院再訊。
控方申請撤回「向登記主任提供虛假詳情」罪，並修訂控罪為「串謀詐騙」，指被告串謀他人在申請「高才通」時，虛報自己符合資格，誘使入境處批准其一家三口留港。辯方申請押後，以待索取文件及法律意見。署理主任裁判官鄭紀航批准雙方申請，將案件押至明年 1 月 12 日答辯，期間被告獲准以 20 萬元現金、20 萬元人事擔保等條件保釋。

回應宏福苑火災聯署發起人被捕事件
On November 29, the petition organiser and Chinese University of Hong Kong student Kwan Ching Fung Miles (Miles) was arrested by the Police National Security Department on suspicion of sedition. The arrest was suspected to be related to a petition initiated by Kwan Ching Fung Miles entitled “Tai Po Wang Fuk Court Fire Concern Group”. The petition put forward four demands: continued support for affected residents; the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry; a review of the construction regulatory system; and full investigation into regulatory negligence and accountability for government officials. Before the arrest, the petition had received more than 10,000 signatures. The concern group’s social media page and petition post were closed after Kwan Ching Fung Miles was arrested.
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre issued the following response to the arrest of petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles:
“The national security police’s arrest of the petition organiser once again highlights the Hong Kong government’s abuse of the sedition offence to suppress peaceful and legitimate expression of opinion. This arrest completely violates the protection of freedom of speech and expression under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (the ‘Covenant’), infringing fundamental human rights in the name of national security.
The demands put forward by petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles—protecting the rights and interests of disaster victims, finding out the truth about the fire, and improving public safety—are all reasonable civic opinions and are fully protected by the Covenant, with absolutely no connection to endangering national security. The authorities’ arrest of a citizen on this basis reflects that current law enforcement has already treated normal expression of concern about disasters and the public interest as a crime.”
11月29日，聯署發起人、中大學生關靖豐（Miles），被警察國安處以煽動罪拘捕。有關的拘捕，懷疑是因關靖豐發起「大埔宏福苑火災關注組」聯署有關。該聯署提出四項訴求：持續支援受災居民、成立獨立調查委員會、重新審視工程監管制度，以及全力追究監管疏忽並問責政府官員。截至被捕前，聯署已獲逾萬人簽署。關注組的社交媒體專頁及聯署帖文在關靖豐被捕後，已經關閉。
香港人權資訊中心就聯署發起人關靖豐被捕一事作出以下回應：
「國安警拘捕聯署發起人，再次突顯港府濫用《煽動罪》打壓和平及正當的意見表達。今次的拘捕完全違反《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》（《公約》）對言論及表達自由的保障，以國家安全之名侵害基本人權。
聯署發起人關靖豐提出的訴求——保障災民權益、查明火災真相、改善公共安全——均屬於合理的公民意見，完全受《公約》所保障，與危害國家安全毫無關聯。當局以此為由拘捕公民，反映現行執法已將關注災難與公共利益的正常表達視為犯罪。

大坑西邨居民第二宗司法覆核被駁回 判詞指理據不涉公法 另批撰入稟狀大狀內容冗長
As redevelopment of Tai Hang Sai Estate in Shek Kip Mei proceeds, residents brought a second judicial review, alleging that Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation’s review of rehousing eligibility, failure to provide proper rehousing and requirement for them to declare that they would waive their rights to pursue claims were unjust, unreasonable and ultra vires. They also alleged that the Town Planning Board had erred by treating rehousing terms as guidelines in the past.
The High Court’s Mr Justice Ko Ho-man earlier refused leave for the application. In a judgment handed down on Friday (28th), he said the residents’ grounds did not concern public law and were unrelated to the relief sought. The judgment also repeatedly criticised the barrister who drafted the pleadings, saying they were lengthy and difficult to understand, and had wasted the applicants’ money and the court’s time. The situation improved only after the plaintiffs changed barristers. The judge said this could be described as an “unfortunate start” for the applicants, but, leaving that aside, the case still failed to meet the threshold for leave.
正清拆重建的石硤尾大坑西邨，有居民提出第二宗司法覆核，指興建與管理該邨的「平民屋宇」審查回遷資格、沒妥善安置、要求聲明放棄追訴權等做法，屬不公義、不合理及越權，而城規會早年把安置條款列為指引性質屬錯誤。
高等法院高浩文早前駁回許可申請，周五（28 日）頒下判詞，指居民的申請理據不涉公法，亦與尋求的濟助沒關聯。判詞又多次批評撰寫入稟狀的大狀，指其內容冗長、令人費解，浪費申請人金錢及法庭時間，直至原告更換大狀情況才改善。官指對申請人而言，可說是個「不幸的開端」，惟撇開這一點，本案仍未能滿足申請門檻。

宏福苑五級火｜涉事承辦商是誰？ 「宏業」十被控違職安例、三宗涉棚架安全 曾遭屋宇署紀律處分
The No. 5 alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po had caused 94 deaths by Friday morning (the 28th). Police arrested three senior executives of the engineering company responsible for the building’s maintenance on suspicion of manslaughter. Records show that Wang Yip Construction Engineering, the contractor involved, was established in 2004 and had been involved in multiple civil lawsuits concerning construction works, employment claims and personal injury. Since 2022, the company has been charged at least 10 times with violating occupational safety legislation, with three of the cases involving scaffold safety. About 10 years ago, the company also breached the Buildings Ordinance. In 2023, it was disciplined by the Buildings Department for “negligent misconduct” and barred from carrying out minor works for four months, as well as fined HK$50,000.
大埔宏福苑五級火，至周五（28日）早上造成 94 人死亡，警方以涉嫌誤殺，拘捕負責大廈維修的工程公司三名高層。翻查資料，涉事的宏業建築工程於 2004 年成立，曾捲入多宗涉及工程的民事訴訟、勞資索償，以至人身傷亡訴訟。由 2022 年至今， 該公司最少十度被控違反職業安全法例，其中三次控罪涉及棚架安全；另外，公司約十年前違《建築物條例》，在 2023 年因「疏忽不當」被屋宇署紀律處分，被禁進行小型工程四個月以及罰款五萬元。

膳心小館遭檢走月餅放棄申訴 食環署一方要求由法庭撤銷申訴「確立行動無錯」
The social enterprise “Agape Garden” was searched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) last year, and its mooncakes were seized. It subsequently appealed to the court, seeking an order quashing the department’s decision and compensation. FEHD staff later testified at the hearing that the mooncakes were exhibits in a criminal case and that the Department of Justice had been consulted before the action was taken. Magistrate Pang Leung-ting raised concerns that the Department of Justice’s prosecutorial decisions were not subject to interference, and “Agape Garden” decided to abandon the appeal.
The case returned to Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (27th). The FEHD side said the court should not approve the Sin Sum side’s withdrawal of the appeal, but should instead dismiss the appeal itself. The magistrate asked what the difference was. The department said the court’s ruling would “establish that the FEHD’s action at the time was without error and was correct, which would have far-reaching significance for the FEHD’s subsequent enforcement”. The magistrate adjourned the case to 23 December for a decision.
社企「膳心小館」去年遭食環署查封及檢走月餅，其後向法庭申訴，要求頒令撤銷署方決定及賠償。食環署職員其後在審訊供稱，月餅為刑事案證物，行動前已徵詢律政司意見。裁判官彭亮廷關注，律政司檢控決定不受干預，「膳心小館」決定放棄申訴。
案件周四（27 日）在觀塘裁判法院再訊。食環署一方指，法庭不應批准「膳心」一方撤回申訴，而是由法庭撤銷其申訴。官問兩者有何分別？署方指，「法庭嘅裁斷，確立當時食環署行動係無錯、係正確，對食環署之後執法，有深遠意義喺度」。官押至 12 月 23 日裁決。

23 條｜香港議會、香港民主建國聯盟 被保安局長首引條文擬禁運作 鄧炳強：有七天可申述
The Security Bureau yesterday (24th) invoked the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance ("Article 23") for the first time, proposing to prohibit the Hong Kong Democratic Independence Alliance and Hong Kong Parliament from operating in Hong Kong. Security Secretary Chris Tang told reporters today (25th) that, before a final decision is made, the two organisations will be given seven days to make representations. He said: "If they consider it necessary to extend the time, I will consider whether that is reasonable." Tang said that after the two organisations are designated as "prohibited organisations", it will be unlawful for anyone to act as a member, or intend to incite others to join, participate in any activities, or provide any assistance. Separately, regarding multiple cases in recent days involving Legislative Council election campaign materials being destroyed, Tang said there had been 35 related cases so far, with 29 people arrested. Most involved criminal damage, and he believed they were individual cases.
保安局昨日（24日）首次引用《維護國家安全條例》（「23條」），擬禁止「香港民主建國聯盟」、「香港議會」在港運作。保安局局長鄧炳強今（25日）見記者表示，在有最終決定前，會給予七天時間供兩組織申述。他說：「如佢哋認為有需要延長時間，我會考慮是否合理。」鄧炳強指，兩組織被納「受禁組織」後，任何人若作為成員行事、或意圖煽動其他人加入、參與任何活動、提供任何援助，均屬違法。
此外，就近日出現多宗立法會選舉宣傳品被毁，鄧炳強指，至今共有 35 宗相關案件，已拘捕 29 人，大部分屬刑事毁壞，相信是個別案件。
