民政半年無用GNMIS發區議會採通 賴疫情故不廣邀傳媒
The Home Affairs Department has continued taking measures to suppress district councils. InMediaHK examined the Government News and Media Information System (GNMIS) and found that, since 22 March this year, it has not issued any further notices to registered media outlets informing them that district council meetings would be held the following day. In response to InMediaHK’s enquiries, the Home Affairs Department cited the pandemic, saying that meetings were therefore not recommended and media interview notices were not issued.
民政事務總署繼續出招打壓區議會，獨媒翻查政府新聞處新聞發布系統（GNMIS），發現自今年3月22日起，已再沒有對已登記的傳媒發稿，提示區議會會議在翌日進行。民政事務總署回覆獨媒查詢時「賴疫情」，稱由於疫情關係，所以不建議召開會議，故不發出採訪通知。

七大專新聞系聯署 指警修改通例損新聞自由 促撤回
The police today began revising the definition of “media representatives” in provisions of the Police General Orders requiring officers to facilitate media work as far as possible. The revision removes the existing recognition of holders of membership cards issued by the Hong Kong Journalists Association and the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association as media representatives, and recognises only media organisations registered in the Information Services Department’s news dissemination system. The journalism departments of seven Hong Kong universities and colleges issued a joint statement today describing the revision as unwise, strongly urging the police to withdraw the proposal and calling on the HKSAR Government, in view of the damage the force’s unilateral decision would cause to press freedom in Hong Kong, to stop the proposal from becoming policy.
警方今天起修改《警察通例》有關警員須要盡量配合傳媒工作的條文中的「傳媒代表」定義，刪除現在承認香港記者協會及攝影記者協會會員證持有人為傳媒代表的內容，又僅承認有新聞處新聞發佈系統登記資格的傳媒。香港七家大學和學院新聞系今天發表聯署聲明，指有關修訂不明智，強烈敦促警方撤銷該建議，並呼籲特區政府考慮到警隊單方面的決定對香港新聞自由的損害，停止將該建議成為政策。

工作報告批「政府防疫資訊不足」 遭郵政拒寄 區議員向申訴專員投訴
A Democratic Party district councillor earlier applied to Hongkong Post to mail out a work report as a circular but was refused. He complained to the Office of the Ombudsman this morning, accusing Hongkong Post of political censorship. Kwun Tong District Councillor Cheng King-yeung said his work report was allegedly refused because it contained the words “insufficient government epidemic-prevention information”, asking: “Does criticising the government mean it’s not allowed?”

疑被私家車跟蹤兼撞到 許智峯轟警不作調查放走自稱記者疑人 警稱已錄口供斥媒體報道失實居心叵測
Several pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong said this month that they suspected they had been followed. At around 7pm today (14th), Democratic Party Legislative Council member Ted Hui suspected that he was being followed by a black private car. Hui subsequently called the police and confronted the driver and passengers of the private car on Forbes Street in Kennedy Town. He found that they had video and still cameras and other equipment, and was hit by the vehicle during the incident. After arriving at the scene and speaking with the occupants, police said they would not search the car or disclose the identities of the people inside, and allowed the private car to leave. Hui was pushed to the ground by police when he tried to block it from leaving. Ming Pao quoted sources as saying that the two people in the car claimed to be reporters from Ta Kung Pao.
