英官與四被通緝港人會面 特區政府譴責
The UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Indo-Pacific Affairs, Wai Sin-ting, and Development Minister Lam Tak-wai recently met Hong Kong people in the UK who are wanted by Hong Kong police. They said that threatening actions by overseas governments were unacceptable. Those at the meeting included Lau Ka-man, Chloe Cheung Hei Ching, Chung Kim-wah and Chung Hon-lam. All four are wanted by the police National Security Department with a reward of 1 million each. The government said yesterday (January 23), in response to media inquiries, that it was strongly dissatisfied with and condemned the actions of the UK officials.
The four Hong Kong people who took part in the meeting were all wanted by police on December 24 last year. The police National Security Department said that Lau Ka-man and Chloe Cheung Hei Ching were key figures in the Hong Kong Freedom Committee Foundation, while Chung Hon-lam was a key figure in the Hong Kong Independence Advocacy Committee. Along with Chung Kim-wah, all four advocated “Hong Kong independence” and were suspected of committing offences endangering national security.
The government’s statement yesterday said it was strongly dissatisfied with and condemned the attempt by UK officials to interfere in law enforcement actions lawfully taken by the SAR. A spokesperson said, “After the persons concerned fled overseas, they were suspected of committing offences under the Hong Kong National Security Law,” and therefore the police had lawfully applied to the court for arrest warrants and issued wanted notices. The spokesperson said that the UK government’s “disregard for the wrongdoing of the wanted persons demonstrates its hypocritical ‘double standards.’”
英國印太外交次官衛倩婷日前和外交發展大臣林德偉，與被本港警方通緝的在英港人會面，稱海外政府的威脅行為不可接受，會面人士包括劉珈汶、張晞晴、鍾劍華及鍾翰林。四人皆被警方國安處懸紅100萬通緝。政府昨（1月23日）稱回應傳媒查詢，對英國官員的行為表示強烈不滿並予以譴責。
四名參與會面的港人，皆是於去年12月24日被警方通緝。警方國安處指劉珈汶及張晞晴皆為「香港自由委員會基金會」要員，鍾翰林則是「香港獨立倡議委員會」要員，連同鍾劍華，四人皆鼓吹「港獨」，涉嫌干犯危害國家安全罪行。
政府昨日的聲明指，對於英國官員企圖干預特區依法採取的執法行動，表示強烈不滿並予以譴責。發言人指「有關人士竄逃外地後涉嫌干犯《香港國安法》下的罪行」，故警方依法向法庭申請拘捕令並通緝，指英國政府「漠視被通緝者的惡行，顯示出其『雙標』的虛偽面目。」

Former US Vice-President Mike Pence commented on the Jimmy Lai case while attending a forum in Hong Kong last Thursday (16th). The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the CPG in the HKSAR criticised Pence by name today (22nd), accusing him of engaging in wanton political manipulation and attempting to interfere with Hong Kong’s judicial process. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung also criticised Pence by name on the same day, saying he sought to use a commercial event to influence a fair trial in court and had malicious intentions.
美國前副總統彭斯上周四（16日）來港出席論壇時評論黎智英案，駐港國家安全公署今天（22日）點名批評彭斯肆意政治操弄，妄圖干預香港司法。保安局局長鄧炳強同日點名斥彭斯圖謀利用一個商業活動影響法庭公平審訊，居心不良。

有報道指彭斯在港要求釋放黎智英 國安公署6日後始發炮：嚴厲譴責
Former US Vice-President Mike Pence visited Hong Kong recently to attend a closed-door forum organised by an investment bank. According to The Wall Street Journal, Pence called in Hong Kong for the release of Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai, who is on trial in a national security law case. Local media did not quote any remarks about Lai, but reported that Pence’s speech shared his views on the profound impact of the US election on the world. The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said today that media had reported Pence had “made groundless comments” about national security cases. It strongly condemned the remarks, saying that any external interference was bound to be futile.
A spokesperson for the Office said Pence had engaged in arbitrary political manipulation and attempted to interfere in Hong Kong’s judicial affairs, challenging Hong Kong’s rule of law and efforts to safeguard national security. The Office strongly condemned this. It also said it firmly supported the Hong Kong Government in punishing, in accordance with the law, those who endanger national security, and would resolutely defend the authority of Hong Kong’s national security rule of law. It added that any external interference was bound to be futile.
美國前副總統彭斯日前到訪香港，出席一個投資銀行閉門論壇，據《華爾街日報》報道，彭斯在香港呼籲釋放正在因國安法案件受審的壹傳媒創辦人黎智英。本地傳媒則未有引述有關黎智英的言論，不過就指彭斯演講分享了美國大選對全球帶來的深遠影響。駐港國家安全公署今日表示，有傳媒反映彭斯對國安案件「妄加評論」，公署表示予以嚴厲譴責，並指任何外部干預都注定徒勞無功。
駐港國安公署發言人表示，彭斯肆意進行政治操弄，妄圖干預香港司法，是對香港法治和維護國家安全的挑戰，公署對此予以嚴厲譴責。公署又指，堅決支持香港政府依法懲治危害國家安全的亂港份子，堅定捍衛香港國安法治權威，又指任何外部干預都注定徒勞無功。

特區政府強烈譴責七國外長及歐盟聲明不實和偏頗 刻意誤導公眾
The SAR Government strongly condemned the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, the US Secretary of State and the EU High Representative for deliberately misleading the public with untrue and biased statements, and for smearing the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.
A spokesperson said that, under international law based on the United Nations Charter and international practice, safeguarding national security is an inherent right of all sovereign states. Many common-law jurisdictions, including Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, as well as Singapore, have enacted multiple laws to safeguard national security. The G7 foreign ministers and the EU High Representative, however, had turned a blind eye to this and made irresponsible remarks, which was a typical example of political hegemony and hypocritical double standards.
特區政府對加拿大、法國、德國、意大利、日本、英國外長、美國國務卿與歐盟高級代表，以不實和偏頗言論，刻意誤導公眾、抹黑《香港國安法》及《維護國家安全條例》，予以強烈譴責。
發言人表示，根據《聯合國憲章》為基礎的國際法及國際慣例，維護國家安全是所有主權國家的固有權利。很多普通法司法管轄區，例如美、英、加拿大等西方國家及新加坡等，都制定了多部維護國家安全的法律，七國外長與歐盟高級代表卻對此視而不見、大放厥詞，是典型的政治霸權和虛偽的雙標。

英國發表《香港半年報告》指政治反對聲音全滅 港府逾4,100字聲明批污衊抹黑
The UK Government published its six-monthly report on Hong Kong. Foreign Secretary David Cameron condemned Beijing’s implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, saying it breached the Sino-British Joint Declaration and that political opposition voices had been almost entirely wiped out under the law. The report also questioned whether the rushed legislative process for Article 23 of the Basic Law complied with international human rights law. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued a statement last night rebutting the report, strongly condemning and opposing its false, defamatory and disparaging remarks about various aspects of the situation in Hong Kong. It also strongly demanded that the UK immediately stop conduct inconsistent with international law and the basic norms of international relations, and immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and Hong Kong affairs.
英國政府發表香港半年報告，外相卡梅倫斥責北京在港實施《香港國安法》違反《中英聯合聲明》，政治反對聲音在該法例下接近全數被消滅，並質疑《基本法》第23條立法過程匆忙，或不符合國際人權法。特區政府昨晚發聲明反駁，聲明全文逾4,100字，對報告就本港各方面情況的失實言論、污衊抹黑作強烈譴責及反對。特區政府又強烈要求，英國立即停止不符合國際法和國際關係基本準則的行為，立即停止干涉中國內政和香港事務。

23條立法｜澳洲更新對香港旅遊提示 指旅客或無意中犯法 港府譴責：危言聳聽、散播恐懼
As the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (Article 23) is to be gazetted tomorrow (23 March), the Australian government updated its travel advice today (22 March), saying Hong Kong’s strict national security laws could be broadly interpreted, visitors might “break the law without intending to”, and could be detained without being charged and denied access to a lawyer. It continued to advise those travelling to Hong Kong to “exercise a high degree of caution”. The Hong Kong government issued a statement tonight strongly condemning what it called the smearing and vilification of Article 23 under the guise of a so-called travel advisory, criticising it as “political manipulation that spreads fear through false and distorted facts and alarmist statements”.
因應《維護國家安全條例》（23條）將於明天（23日）刊憲，澳洲政府今天（22日）更新旅遊提示，表示香港嚴格的國安法律可被廣泛詮釋，旅客可能會在「沒有意圖下犯法」，並在未受到起訴的情況下被拘留，及被拒絕會見律師，繼續建議到港旅遊者「保持高度謹慎」。港府今晚發聲明強烈假借所謂外遊提示對23條「誣衊抹黑」，批評是以「虛假、歪曲事實及危言聳聽言論散播恐懼的政治操弄」。
