港台受訪節目下架 羅冠聰：內容無觸犯國安法 冀港台對得住自己新聞專業
Former Demosistō chairman Nathan Law appeared on the RTHK special programme “The Battle over the Postponement of the 2020 Legislative Council Election”. The programme was broadcast late last month, but RTHK subsequently removed it from its website. Law responded on Facebook under the title “The duty of journalism is to monitor those in power, not blindly follow the regime”, saying he was surprised that RTHK had taken down the programme. He said the removal of a single interview raised countless questions: “Ultimately, should journalism be bound by the regime’s limits, or should it have its own mission to pursue truth and knowledge and monitor power?” He hoped RTHK’s senior management would carefully review the decision and live up to its own professional standards in journalism.
前香港眾志主席羅冠聰曾出席香港電台特備節目《2020立法會選舉延後之戰》，該節目於上月底播出，但及後港台將該節目從網頁下架。羅冠聰以「新聞專業的天職是監察權貴 並非盲從政權」為題在 Facebook 回應事件，表示對港台將節目下架感到驚訝。他認為，一次訪問下架引伸無數疑問，「歸根究底，是新聞應服膺於政權的框限，還是應該有自己對求真致知、監察權力的使命？」他期望，港台高層能慎重要檢視相關決定，對得住自己的新聞專業。

城大教授委託民調公司 YouGov 做問卷調查 被要求刪題目 稱涉違國安法
Tetsuro Kobayashi, an associate professor in the Department of Media and Communication at City University of Hong Kong, said on Twitter recently that he had earlier commissioned polling and market research company YouGov to conduct a questionnaire survey for a study, but YouGov asked him to delete some questions on the grounds that they might violate the Hong Kong national security law. Kobayashi also quoted YouGov’s Hong Kong team as saying that the decision was made after legal advice had been sought. Stand News contacted Kobayashi and YouGov about the matter yesterday, but neither had responded so far.

警違搜查令 翻閱《蘋果》新聞資料 李桂華稱必須搜查編採部
Police searched the Next Media building in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate today. Before lawyers arrived, officers refused to show the search warrant and continued examining and reading news materials on reporters’ desks, stopping only after a senior superintendent intervened. An Apple Daily reporter said the action deprived Apple Daily of its legal rights. Li Kwai-wah, a senior superintendent of the National Security Department, said that because the arrested persons’ offices were located in the editorial department, police had searched it under circumstances in which there was “no alternative” and it was “necessary”.
警方今日位於將軍澳工業邨的壹傳媒大樓搜查。律師到場前，有警員拒絕出示搜查令，一直檢視和翻閱記者桌上的新聞資料，直至高級警司介入才停止行動。《蘋果日報》記者形容，此舉剝奪了《蘋果》的法律權益。國安處高級警司李桂華則稱，因為被捕人士的辦公室位於採編部門，警方是在「無辦法、必須」的情況之下作出搜查。

多個傳媒工會及組織：關注警方拘捕傳媒創辦人及管理層，並對大規模搜查傳媒大樓表示震驚
Police arrested Next Media founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and others this morning, and subsequently went to his residence and the Next Media building to gather evidence. Multiple media organisations and groups expressed shock, demanding that the police promptly explain the purpose and legal basis for the large-scale search of a media organisation.
More than 100 police officers searched the Next Media building this morning and set up a cordon. Everyone entering or leaving was required to have their personal belongings searched, among other measures. During the operation, police officers also searched personal belongings at journalists’ desks. We must point out that the police action violated journalists’ privacy and disregarded the mechanism for searching journalistic materials.
警方今晨拘捕壹傳媒創辦人黎智英等人，先後到其寓所及壹傳媒大樓蒐證，多個傳媒機構及團體對此表示震驚，要求警方盡快交代大規模搜查傳媒機構的目的以及法律理據。
逾百名警務人員今早到壹傳媒大樓搜查，更設立封鎖線，所有人士出入均需要被搜查隨身物品等，期間警務人員亦搜查記者座位內的個人物品。我們必須指出，警方的行動侵犯記者私隱以及漠視搜查新聞材料的機制。

多名駐港外國記者簽證續期被拖延 消息指須經入境處新設國安組覆檢 刻意留難
As China-US relations grow increasingly tense, journalists from media organisations in both countries have also become targets. The United States designated Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily and other outlets as foreign missions, while China retaliated by expelling journalists from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post, saying their journalists could not work in China and Hong Kong. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong (FCC) issued a statement on Thursday (August 6), saying it had noted recent cases of foreign journalists experiencing delays in applying for Hong Kong work visas, involving journalists of different nationalities from multiple media organisations, and describing the situation as “highly unusual”. Sources told Stand News that the visa renewals of Hong Kong-based journalists from several foreign media organisations, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, had been delayed.

議員工作報告批評國安法 郵政署拒寄 尹兆堅斥政治審查
The work reports of Democratic Party Legislative Council member Yuen Siu-kin and Tuen Mun District Councillor Kee Ma were allegedly refused delivery and confiscated by the Post Office because their contents criticised the Hong Kong National Security Law. The two held a press conference today (17 July) to protest against the Post Office acting as a “political hatchet man” and suppressing freedom of expression. Yuen Siu-kin said his party colleague Kam Nai-wai had experienced something similar, and expressed concern about the repeated occurrence of political suppression, saying that “it is no longer a frog being boiled slowly in warm water; it is a frog being scalded in boiling water”. He stressed that they would pursue the matter to the end and fight back against white terror.

甘乃威工作報告疑因有「★復香港」字眼 遭郵政拒寄
A work report by Democratic Party Central and Western District councillor Kamm Nai-wai was allegedly refused postal circular service by the Post Office because it contained the wording “★Restore Hong Kong”. Kamm said this was the first time he had encountered such an incident since entering politics. He stressed that he would not alter the wording to accommodate the authorities’ “red lines”: “This phrase is my bottom line; I won’t change it. Cutting it out would completely fail to express my idea of restoring Hong Kong.”

【港版國安法】著作被公共圖書館下架「覆檢」 黃之鋒：焚書已經發生
Media reports said that several books concerning political protests had been removed from public libraries for “review”, allegedly because they might violate the National Security Law. They included former Demosistō secretary-general Joshua Wong’s 2013 book *I Am Not a Hero—Joshua Wong’s Editorial Collection* and his 2015 book *I Am Not a Kid: Before and After 18*. Wong responded that, under the white terror, “book burning has already happened, and burying scholars will happen soon”. He stressed, however, that the censorship of his books was insignificant, and called on people in Hong Kong and internationally to pay attention to all the “fellow activists” prosecuted under the National Security Law.

陳淑莊2014年著作被下架
Civic Party Legislative Council member Tanya Chan published a book titled “Walking, Eating and Resisting”. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department removed it from public libraries, saying it was “under review”. Speaking at a Civic Party election rally in the afternoon, Chan criticised the legislation of the national security law, saying it had clearly affected Hong Kong people’s lives and not just a small group of people. She questioned whether the department was too eager to make its position known, saying it had already created a climate of white terror.
