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.

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。

【23條立法】消息指美國隊長2.0未能提早獲釋 懲教:不評論
After the Article 23 legislation took effect, prisoners involved in national security cases must be deemed by the Commissioner of Correctional Services not to pose a risk to national security before they can be released early. It is understood that the first affected case has emerged: Ma Chun-man, nicknamed “Captain America 2.0”, who was jailed after being convicted of inciting others to secede, was scheduled to be released early this morning but did not leave prison as scheduled. A friend who intended to greet Ma upon his release told the media that a Correctional Services Department welfare officer said it was because Article 23 had taken effect, adding that this was the first time the officer had encountered such a situation.
23條生效後,涉國安案件的囚犯須獲懲教署署長信納「不會不利國家安全」,方能提前獲釋。據了解,首個受影響案例已出現,外號「美國隊長」2.0 、因煽動他人分裂國家罪成入獄的馬俊文,原定今早提早獲釋,但未能如期出獄。有欲迎接馬出獄的友人向傳媒透露,懲教署福利官指是因為「23條」生效的關係,並指是首次遇到相關情況。
