「愛沙尼亞港人協會」成立 發起人：有一個香港人的地方就會有香港
Apart from knowing that Estonia is in Europe, most people are likely quite unfamiliar with the country, let alone having visited it. Yet this small nation of just over one million people is also home to Hongkongers. Iverson Wu Chun-sing, who moved there eight years ago, was inspired by Hong Kong’s 2019 social movement and decided to organise activities for Hongkongers. The “Estonian Hongkongers’ Association” (Hongkongi Maja MTÜ) was finally established recently. He said: “Just as Hemingway described Estonians, wherever you find a port, you find an Estonian. And many of us say that wherever you find a Hongkonger, you will find Hong Kong.”
There are currently more than 30 Hongkongers living in Estonia. Although its population is smaller than Hong Kong’s, Wu told this outlet in an interview that encountering Hongkongers is not easy at all. “The cruel reality is that Hongkongers who move to Estonia do not want to concern themselves with Hong Kong affairs either. People moved here not for political reasons, but because they wanted to leave Asia.”
提起愛沙尼亞，相信除了位於歐洲外，大多數人對這個國家都相當陌生，遑論曾到當地旅遊。不過，這個只有百多萬人口的小國也有香港人的蹤跡，8年前移居當地的伍鎮星（Iverson），因受到香港2019年社會運動的感動，於是立心籌辦港人活動，近日終於成立了「愛沙尼亞港人協會」（Hongkongi Maja MTÜ），他表示：「就像海明威描述的愛沙尼亞人般，你每找到一個港口你就找到一個愛沙尼亞人。而我們很多人都說，你找到有一個香港人的地方，就會有香港。」
目前有約30多位香港人聚居愛沙尼亞，雖說這裡的人口比香港還少，但伍鎮星接受本台專訪時分享，要遇見香港人一點也不容易，「殘酷現實是搬到愛沙尼亞的港人也不想理會香港的事，大家搬過來也不是為了政治理由，而是想離開亞洲」。

英國會議員被拒入境 特區政府：入境人士應當清楚其自身過去所作的行為
Wera Hobhouse, a British Liberal Democrat MP, arrived in Hong Kong last Thursday (April 10) to visit her son and newly born grandchild. She said she was questioned and held at the airport for about five hours before being refused entry. In a subsequent media interview, she described the incident as China intimidating her to prevent her from speaking out for human rights, freedom and democracy. The HKSAR Government said in a statement last night that it would not comment on individual cases, but said the Immigration Department had a responsibility to ask entrants about the purpose of their visit. It added: “Entrants should be clear about their own past actions; if he or she refuses to answer questions about the purpose of their visit, that does not help in handling their entry.”
英國自由民主黨國會議員賀候絲（Wera Hobhouse），上周四（4月10日）到港欲探望其兒子及剛出生的孫兒，她指在機場被盤問及扣留約五小時後被拒入境，及後在接受傳媒訪問時形容中國藉此恐嚇她，阻止她為人權、自由和民主發聲。特區政府昨晚發聲明，稱不會評論個別個案，惟指入境處有責任向入境人士查詢其入境目的，稱「入境人士應當清楚其自身過去所作的行為，如他／她拒絕回答有關其入境目的的提問，對處理其入境沒有幫助。」

國際特赦宣布成立香港海外分會 理事包括張超雄、邵嵐 港府：卑劣政治技倆
Amnesty International, which withdrew from Hong Kong in 2021, announced today (15th) the establishment of the Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas Branch. It is Amnesty International’s first branch to be established and operated in exile, and is made up of Hongkongers living overseas. According to the branch’s press release, its board members include former Legislative Council member Cheung Chiu-hung and former student leader Laam Siu, who is wanted by the authorities under the national security law.
The Hong Kong government told Yahoo News that it strongly urged “anti-China organisations with ulterior motives” to stop slandering and smearing, and interfering in Hong Kong affairs, which are part of China’s internal affairs. “These despicable political ploys are doomed to end in failure,” it said.
自 2021 年已撤出香港的國際特赦組織，今日（15 日）宣布成立「國際特赦組織香港海外分會」，是國際特赦組織首個在流亡中成立和營運的分會，由離散海外香港人組成。據該會的新聞稿透露，分會理事包括立法會前議員張超雄，以及被國安通緝的前學生領袖邵嵐。
港府回應《Yahoo新聞》指，強烈敦促別有用心的反華組織停止誣衊抹黑、干預屬於中國內政的香港事務，「這些卑劣的政治技倆注定以失敗告終。」

加拿大大選｜鄭敬基宣傳牌遭大規模惡意破壞 蔣振宇2.0被揭曾赴北京閱兵
With two weeks remaining in the Canadian general election campaign, Joseph Tay King Kei, the Conservative candidate contesting the Don Walley North constituency in Toronto, found that the candidate’s campaign signs had been massively vandalised. The campaign team reported the matter to police and lodged a complaint with the electoral authorities. Meanwhile, Yuen Chik-min, who is contesting Markham—Unionville for the Liberal Party as the successor to pro-China MP Cheung Chun-yu, was recently identified by Canadian media as a target of Chinese Communist Party United Front work. Yuen had previously been invited to Beijing to attend a People’s Liberation Army military parade and stayed at a five-star hotel.

英國外國影響力登記計劃「放生」中國 劉珈汶發起國會聯署反抗：中共統戰部滲透工作要監察
The UK Government announced that the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) would come into force on 1 July, placing only Iran and Russia in the highest-risk “Enhanced Level” while letting China off. Home Office Minister Dan Jarvis said in response that he would not speculate on which countries would or would not be placed in the “enhanced controls” tier in future. Lau Ka-man, a senior international advocacy officer at the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC), recently launched a parliamentary petition urging the UK Government to include China and Hong Kong in FIRS’s Enhanced Level, saying this would help protect the UK’s democracy. In an interview with The Chaser on Monday (14th), she said the parliamentary petition campaign was originally intended to be launched earlier this year alongside a joint letter signed by 40 organisations, but its launch had been delayed by three months until now.
英國政府宣佈7月1日開始執行「外國影響力登記計劃」（Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, FIRS），只把伊朗、俄羅斯納入最高風險的「加強級別」（Enhanced Level），但卻「放生」中國。英國內政部部長翟偉紳（Dan Jarvis）回應指不會臆測有哪些國家未來將會、或者不會被列入「加強管控」等級。香港民主委員會（HKDC）高級國際倡議幹事劉珈汶近日發起國會聯署，敦促英政府將中國和香港納入FIRS的增強級別，相信有助保護英國的民主。她周一（14日）接受《追新聞》訪問時表示，國會聯署行動本應於今年初連同40個組織聯署信一併推動，但國會聯署行動拖延了3個月至今才推出。

長和反駁巴拿馬 強調交足稅合法經營 投資額遠超合約要求
The controversy over CK Hutchison’s proposed sale of its Panama operations continued to escalate after Panama’s audit authorities recently accused the company’s subsidiary and maritime operations of multiple violations, including unpaid amounts and tax evasion. The authorities are considering legal action to cancel the concession contract, effectively “taking back” the canal. Hutchison Ports Panama, the CK Hutchison subsidiary accused of the violations, issued a statement yesterday rebutting the allegations point by point in 10 items. It said the company had made investments exceeding 1.695 billion balboas—far above the 1 billion balboas required under the contract and supplementary agreements—with one balboa equal to one US dollar. The company said the investment had been confirmed by Panama’s Comptroller General. The statement also said some inaccurate public comments had distorted the legal relationship between the concession contract and its supplementary agreements, conflicted with the conduct of the Republic of Panama over many years, and were “regrettable”.
長和擬出售巴拿馬事件持續發酵，巴拿馬審計部門日前指控長和子公司和海事部門有多項違規，例如欠款和避稅，考慮循法律途徑取消特許經營權合約，變相「收回」運河。被指違規的長和子公司和記港口巴拿馬港口公司昨日發聲明，列出十點逐一反駁指控，包括指公司已作出超過16.95億巴波亞幣（每1巴波亞幣等於1美元）巨額投資，遠超合約和附加協議要求的10億巴波亞幣，反指該筆投資已獲巴拿馬審計長確認。聲明又指，現時外界部分不符事實的言論，扭曲了特許經營合約及其附加協議的法律關係，也與巴拿馬共和國多年行事有抵觸，形容事件「令人遺憾」。

香港郵政暫維持往美國郵遞 稱「不會代收所謂關稅」
US President Donald Trump announced on April 2 US time that tariffs would be imposed on numerous countries and regions worldwide. China and Hong Kong face cumulative tariffs of 54%, while the duty-free treatment for small packages worth less than US$800 mailed from the two places to the US will also be cancelled, with tariffs imposed from May 2. The Hong Kong government issued a statement in the evening expressing strong opposition and dissatisfaction. Hongkong Post said it would temporarily maintain mail services to the US until May 2 and that it “will not collect so-called tariffs”.
A Hong Kong government spokesman said the US action was bullying and unreasonable, violated World Trade Organization rules, and strongly demanded that the US withdraw the relevant measures. The spokesman reiterated that Hong Kong is a free port and has never imposed tariffs on imported goods, describing the US imposition of “so-called reciprocal tariffs” on Hong Kong products as “contrary to common sense and logic”. The spokesman said Hong Kong is a separate customs territory with an effective system for the import and export of goods, and that the US claim that it was imposing tariffs on Hong Kong to reduce the risks of transshipment and tax evasion was “detached from the facts and fully highlights its bullying conduct to suppress its opponents”.
美國總統特朗普於美國時間4月2日宣布，向全球多國徵收關稅，其中中國及香港累計被加關稅至54％，兩地郵寄價值低於800美元小型包裹至當地的免稅待遇亦會取消，5月2日起徵稅。港府傍晚發聲明表示強烈反對和不滿。香港郵政稱會暫時維持往美國郵遞服務至5月2日，並指「不會代收所謂關稅」。
港府發言人指，美國的做法霸凌無理，違反世貿規則，嚴重要求美方撤回相關措施。發言人重申香港為自由港，對所有進口商品從來不設關稅，形容美國對香港產品徵收「所謂對等關稅」是「違反常理邏輯」。發言人指香港是單獨關稅地區，設立了有效的貨物進出口制度，對於美國指為減少轉運和逃稅風險而對香港徵稅，是「脫離事實，充分突顯其為打壓對手的霸凌行為」。

美《香港政策法》報告：安全部門監視民主派 特區5000字斥失實 「為政治利益創作」
The US State Department yesterday issued a Hong Kong Policy Act report citing “reliable reports” that Hong Kong security agencies monitored (monitored) pro-democracy figures, their relatives and friends, and Hong Kong journalists. It also said that some US citizens were detained and questioned when entering Hong Kong because of their associations with people or organisations holding critical positions on China. The report said Hong Kong had, in general, become more centrally controlled, and that its separate economic and trade policies from those of the mainland could be maintained only with Beijing’s approval. The HKSAR Government issued a nearly 5,000-character statement yesterday condemning the report as inaccurate and questioning whether it was “a product clearly created to serve the United States’ own political interests.”
The report alleged that Beijing and the HKSAR Government had undermined the rule of law, human rights and freedoms in the name of national security. Secretary of State Marco Rubio maintained that, under US law, the United States would not provide Hong Kong treatment different from that provided to the mainland. The report said national security legislation had affected human rights and freedoms in Hong Kong, including stating that in cases involving national security, there was “no expectation of a fair trial”. It also mentioned police interviewing relatives and friends of people wanted overseas. The report noted that Hong Kong had held no public events commemorating June 4 since 2019, while police had repeatedly approved small anti-US demonstrations outside the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau.
美國國務院昨日發表《香港政策法》報告，引述有「可靠報告」顯示香港安全部門監視（monitored）民主派人士、其親友及香港記者，也有美國公民因與對華持批判立場的人或組織有關聯，入境香港時遭扣查問話。報告同時形容，趨勢上香港更由中央集權，並在北京批准下香港才得以維持有別內地的經貿政策。特區政府昨發表近5000字新聞稿譴責報告失實，質疑報告「是明顯為服務美國自身政治利益而創作的製成品」。
報告：再無公開悼六四 警屢准領館外示威
美國國務院在報告指控，北京及特區政府以國安為由，破壞法治及人權自由，國務卿魯比奧維持在美國法例下不向香港提供有別內地的待遇。報告指，國安法例衝擊本港人權自由，包括形容凡涉國家安全案件，「不能預期有公平審訊（no expectation of a fair trial）」，又提到警方約談遭通緝海外人士的親友等。報告提及，2019年起本港無再公開悼念六四活動，而警方多次批准美國駐港澳總領事館外的小型反美示威。

加拿大自由黨議員退選 曾籲帶鄭敬基到中國領事館領懸紅
Paul Chiang, the Liberal candidate in the Toronto—Markham—Unionville riding, earlier suggested handing Conservative Party candidate Joseph Tay King Kei over to the Chinese consulate in exchange for the HK$1 million bounty offered by Hong Kong police, sparking controversy. Chiang announced in the early hours of today (1st), local time, that he was withdrawing from the 2025 federal election.
