蘋果案裁決｜政府強烈譴責記協為黎智英洗白：混淆視聽，污衊特區
Jimmy Lai, founder of the former Next Digital group, was convicted of three offences, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said yesterday (15th) that it was extremely disappointed by the verdict, claiming that Lai and the Apple Daily editorial staff had been imprisoned because of their journalistic work, causing “irreversible harm to Hong Kong’s press corps.” In a statement this morning, the HKSAR Government strongly condemned the HKJA and a number of anti-China foreign media outlets for “misleading the public and whitewashing Jimmy Lai.” It criticised the HKJA, saying that its lack of credibility and legitimacy, while styling itself as a representative of the journalism sector, was “despicable”; that it had deliberately conflated the Jimmy Lai case with press freedom; and that it had used different cases to sensationalise and denigrate the human rights and rule-of-law situation, thereby smearing the HKSAR. It described this as “an extremely despicable political operation.” The HKJA’s post can currently no longer be displayed on Facebook.

47人案判刑｜美國國務院指判決不公 將對官員施加簽證限制 港府：嗤之以鼻
In the case in which pro-democracy figures were charged with conspiracy to subvert state power, 45 convicted defendants were sentenced on Tuesday (19th) to between four years and two months and 10 years in prison. The US State Department issued a statement on Wednesday (20th), Hong Kong time, strongly condemning the sentences as “unjust” and announcing that it would impose visa restrictions on multiple Hong Kong officials responsible for implementing the National Security Law.
The Hong Kong government also issued a statement on Wednesday, expressing strong condemnation and opposition. It said the US government’s proposed “visa restrictions” on Hong Kong Special Administrative Region personnel were “entirely despicable political manipulation” and “blatant interference in China’s internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs”, and that it “scoffs at the so-called ‘sanctions’”. It reiterated that it would not fear any threats and would continue, steadfastly and unswervingly, to fulfil its responsibility to safeguard national security.

港府亦於周三發聲明，表示強烈譴責和反對，指美國政府提出向香港特區人員施加「簽證限制」，「全屬卑劣政治操作」、「明目張膽地干涉中國內政和香港事務」，「對所謂『制裁』嗤之以鼻」，重申會無懼任何威嚇，繼續堅定不移，履行維護國家安全的責任。

《立場》案｜港府稱裁決彰顯公義 傳媒組織稱反映風險、定下危險案例
In the case against Stand News over conspiracy to publish seditious publications, District Court Judge Kwok Wai-kin found former editor-in-chief Chung Pui-kuen, acting editor-in-chief Lam Siu-tung and the company behind Stand News guilty. On Thursday (26th), Chung was sentenced to 21 months in prison and Lam to 11 months; in view of Lam’s medical condition, however, he was given a sentence that, after deduction of time spent on remand, allowed for his immediate release.
The Hong Kong Government issued a statement in the evening in response to the sentences, describing the verdict as “demonstrating justice” and accusing anti-China organisations, politicians and foreign media of “malicious smearing”. It stressed that journalists may freely make fact-based comments or criticisms and need not fear inadvertently breaking the law. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said in a statement that the judgment showed that the risks faced by journalists were “plain to see”. Reporters Without Borders said the judgment “sets a dangerous precedent” and urged the authorities to release Chung Pui-kuen as soon as possible.

港府晚上發稿回應判刑，形容裁決「彰顯公義」，批評有反華組織、政客及外媒「惡意抹黑」，強調新聞工作者可以自由作出基於事實的評論或批評，無須擔心會誤墮法網。香港記者協會發聲明指，判決反映了新聞工作者的風險「擺在眼前」；無國界記者認為判決「定下危險的案例」，敦促盡快釋放鍾沛權。

The US Congress urged the Biden administration to sanction judges and prosecutors involved in political prosecutions and close the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in the United States.
Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki said this morning (31st) that Western countries use democracy and freedom as a pretext to “poison” young people and students, making patriotic education necessary and reminding young people not to be deceived. The HKSAR Government issued two statements within 24 hours. In a statement of more than 1,500 Chinese characters issued this afternoon, it “strongly condemned” and “opposed” what it called inaccurate statements, smears and vilification by Western countries and others. It also said that the “so-called sanctions are all despicable political manoeuvres” and that the HKSAR “dismisses them with contempt and is not afraid of any threats.”
47 人案，其中 14 人昨（30日）被裁定罪成，劉偉聰、李予信獲判無罪，但律政司提出上訴，案件引起國際社會關注。除澳洲外交部部長黃英賢、歐盟發聲明表關注；英國外交部亦促港府釋放遭起訴者，美國會則促拜登政府制裁涉政治檢控的法官和檢控官、關閉港駐美經貿辦。
政務司長陳國基今（31日）早回應指，西方國家用民主自由作幌子，「毒害」青年人和學生，故要辦愛國主義教育，提醒年青人不要受騙。特區政府 24 時小時內兩發聲明，今下午以逾 1500 字聲明，「強烈譴責」和「反對」西方國家等失實言論和污衊抹黑，又指「所謂制裁，全屬卑劣政治操作」，特區對此「嗤之以鼻，無懼任何威嚇」。

特區政府：全力依法追捕周庭，籲配合警方否則泥足深陷、後悔莫及
The SAR Government issued a stern statement in the evening, naming Agnes Chow, who was arrested by the state authorities for allegedly violating the offence of “collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security”. It said she had openly stated on social media that she would abandon bail and flee, in disregard of the law, and that the authorities would pursue her to the full in accordance with law while strongly condemning the shameful act of absconding to evade criminal responsibility. The SAR Government also urged Chow to turn back, cooperate with the police and take responsibility for her actions, and reform herself; otherwise, it said, she would become further embroiled and regret it too late.

律政司入稟高院申禁制令 禁公眾播《願榮光歸香港》
The Department of Justice filed an application with the High Court on Monday (the 5th), seeking an injunction prohibiting the public from broadcasting, performing or disseminating the song ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ on any platform. The application stated that disseminating the song with the intention of inciting others to split the country would violate the National Security Law. It also said the song could be mistaken for Hong Kong’s ‘national anthem’, with an intention to insult the national anthem, in breach of the National Anthem Ordinance. The application included links to 32 related YouTube videos and sought to require the relevant people to stop disseminating the song. They included a sign-language version, a Chinese orchestral ensemble version, and versions in English, German and other languages.
律政司周一（5 日）入稟高等法院，要求法庭為歌曲《願榮光歸香港》頒下禁制令，禁止公眾廣播、演奏或在任何平台傳播《願榮光歸香港》。入稟狀指，公眾不得傳播《願榮光》，意圖煽動他人分裂國家，違反《國安法》；又指歌曲可能被誤當成香港「國歌」，具意圖侮辱國歌，違反《國歌條例》。入稟狀附上 32 條 YouTube 相關影片連結，要求有關人士停止傳播，當中包括手語版、中樂合奏版、以及英語、德語等多國語言版本。
政府發言人表示，有關歌曲近期多次被錯誤表述為「香港國歌」，對國家和特區造成嚴重損害，有關申請是必要、合理和合法。
