閉路電視6萬鏡頭將覆蓋全港 鄧炳強：人面識別「必然要做」
The Police launched the “Sharp Eyes” scheme last year to install CCTV cameras in crime hotspots and other public places with large crowds across Hong Kong. The Security Bureau said the scheme would be further expanded, with more than 20,000 cameras added each year and about 60,000 cameras expected to cover Hong Kong by 2028. Responding in the Legislative Council today (the 3rd), Secretary for Security Chris Tang said AI identification technology was currently used mainly for crowd management and vehicle-licence-plate recognition. He said the technology would “inevitably” be applied to people, and that the Police were studying issues including the resources, technology and priorities involved, with the results to be announced publicly. According to a document submitted by the Security Bureau to the Legislative Council, the Police had installed 3,985 cameras as of 31 August this year and had connected 4,835 CCTV cameras operated by other government departments and other stakeholders. The system had assisted the Police in solving 433 cases and arresting 787 people.
警務處去年推出「銳眼」計劃，在全港罪案黑點、人流較多等公眾地方方安裝閉路電視。保安局最新指，「銳眼」計劃將進一步提升，每年增加逾 2 萬支鏡頭，預計於 2028 年共約 6 萬支鏡頭覆蓋全港。保安局局長鄧炳強今（3 日）在立法會回應時表示，目前 AI 識別技術主要應用於人流管制、車牌識別，相關科技「必然會」應用到人的身上，警方正研究涉及的資源、科技和優次等問題，有結果會向外公布。
據保安局提交立法會文件，截至今年 8月31日，警務處已安裝共3985支鏡頭；並已接入共4835支其他政府部門及其他持份者的閉路電視。系統已協助警方偵破 433 宗案件，拘捕 787 人。

保安局推國安漫畫書 鄧炳強：將艱難概念化成易明搞笑故事
Today marks the 10th National Security Education Day. The Security Bureau held a launch ceremony for the new national security-themed comic book 《On Jai and Hung Jai》. Security Bureau Secretary Chris Tang Ping-keung, who helped lead the comic’s production, said the biggest challenge was turning difficult national security concepts into “humorous” stories that children could easily understand. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yu-lin also praised the comic as “definitely a good book that benefits readers” and encouraged teachers to use it to design classroom activities.
今日是第十個「全民國家安全教育日」，保安局舉行國家安全主題漫畫《安仔與熊仔》新書發布會。有份主導製作漫畫的保安局局長鄧炳強表示，創作最大挑戰將艱難的國家安全觀念，化成讓小朋友輕易看懂的「搞笑」故事。教育局局長蔡若蓮亦大讚漫畫「絕對係一本好書，開卷有益」，並鼓勵老師利用漫畫設計課堂活動。

關連境外系統拒交料 港機構沒辯解可罰 立法管關鍵設施 保安局：非施長臂管轄
The Security Bureau is legislating to regulate operators of “critical infrastructure” and require them to protect their computer systems. The authorities say they “will not enforce outside Hong Kong”. However, if the systems of critical infrastructure operators, such as power companies and banks, are connected from Hong Kong to overseas systems and support the operation of core functions at Hong Kong facilities, the government will have the authority, when an incident occurs, to require Hong Kong operators to obtain information from the overseas system providers. If an overseas system refuses to provide information to a Hong Kong operator, the operator may raise a reasonable defence. The Security Bureau said that failure to comply without a reasonable defence could result in a maximum fine of HK$500,000.
The Security Bureau said the bill is not intended to exercise “long-arm jurisdiction” and “does not have extraterritorial effect”. If a computer incident occurs and the system of the organisation involved is connected to an overseas system, the authorities will only require the Hong Kong operator to seek information from the connected overseas system, rather than directly requiring the overseas system to provide it. In a reply to this newspaper, the bureau said the code of practice to be issued later would recommend that operators stipulate in contract terms the information that service providers must submit, in order to protect the operators’ rights and interests. If an overseas system refuses to provide information to a Hong Kong operator, the bureau said the local operator could raise a reasonable defence, with the court deciding according to the circumstances whether to accept it. Any organisation that fails to comply without a reasonable defence could face a maximum fine of HK$500,000.
保安局正立法規管「關鍵基礎設施」營運者保護其電腦系統，當局指明「不會在香港以外的地方執法」，但關鍵基礎設施營運者（例如電力公司、銀行）的系統若從本港接達境外系統，並支持本港設施核心功能運作，一旦發生事故，政府有權要求香港營運者向境外系統提供者索取資料。至於境外系統若拒向本港營運者提供資料，營運者會否違法，保安局稱營運者可以提出合理抗辯，但若在無合理辯解下不遵從要求，最高可被罰款50萬元。
保安局表示，條例草案本意並非施行「長臂管轄」，也「不具域外效力」，一旦發生電腦事故，如涉事機構系統接連境外系統，當局只會要求在港營運者向接連的境外系統索取資料，不會直接要求境外系統提供資料。保安局回覆本報稱，稍後提供的實務守則將建議營運者在合約條款訂明服務提供者必須提交的資料，以保障營運者權益。至於境外系統若拒向本港營運者提供資料，局方稱本地營運者可提出合理辯解抗辯，由法庭按情况決定是否接納；任何機構無合理辯解而無遵從要求，最高可被罰50萬元。

保安局回應本報「關鍵基礎設施」報道 指當局已大致釋除業界疑慮
Responding to our newspaper’s report today on the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (Computer Systems) Bill, Deputy Secretary for Security Wong Sau-wai said the consultation report submitted by the Government to the Legislative Council’s Panel on Security last October had reflected more than 600 views and suggestions put forward by the industry in its submissions. Some of those views had been adopted and incorporated into the Bill. She stressed that “through continuous communication and understanding, the industry’s concerns have largely been allayed.”
In a letter to Ming Pao, Wong said the consultation report submitted by the Government to the Legislative Council’s Panel on Security last October had reflected more than 600 views and suggestions raised by the industry in its submissions, and that some suggestions had been appropriately adopted and reflected in the Bill. Examples included extending the reporting deadline for serious incidents to 12 hours and that for other incidents to 48 hours, adding strict confidentiality requirements, providing a defence against liability for third-party service providers that breach the requirements, and removing the requirement to report changes in ownership.
就本報今日有關《保護關鍵基礎設施(電腦系統)條例草案》的報道，保安局副秘書長王秀慧回應，指政府在去年10月向立法會保安事務委員會提交的諮詢報告，已反映業界在意見書提出的逾600項意見及建議，並採納部分意見，反映在《條例草案》中，強調「經過持續溝通及了解，已大致釋除業界的疑慮。」
王秀慧去信《明報》指，政府在去年10月向立法會保安事務委員會提交的諮詢報告，已反映業界在意見書提出的逾600項意見及建議，並適當地採納部分建議及反映在《條例草案》中，例如放寬嚴重事故通報時限至12小時（其他事故至48小時）、加入嚴格的保密規定、加入就第三方服務提供者違反要求的免責辯護、取消通報變更擁有權等。

港保安局擬年裝逾2000閉路電視拒公布總數 市民：監控為實
Hong Kong’s Security Bureau says it will install at least 2,000 CCTV cameras in multiple districts each year over the next few years, potentially putting surveillance cameras everywhere, but refuses to say how many will be installed across the city in total. Members of the public generally regard the plan as a waste of public money and say the government is making surveillance a reality. In the Legislative Council, a lawmaker suggested expanding the scheme to include drones and requiring the city’s more than 10,000 taxis to connect their dashboard cameras to the cloud for police surveillance and other purposes.
A visit to Dundas Street in Mong Kok found that most of the newly installed CCTV cameras were mounted on lamp posts. They were lower than those generally installed by the Transport Department, at about 2.5 metres above ground, and police QR codes had been affixed to the lamp posts. Records show that police had already installed 15 sets in Mong Kok at the beginning of this year, mostly on streets with heavier pedestrian traffic, including Dundas Street and the area around Nullah Garden.
在香港，保安局指未來幾年，至少每年在多區安裝2000部閉路電視，令監控鏡頭隨時無處不存在，但當局拒絕回應將在全港安裝閉路電視的總數。市民普遍認為是浪費公帑，直言政府是「監控為實」。而在立法會，有議員建議推展至利用無人機配合，及規定全港萬多輛的士「車cam」連接雲端，供警方作監控鏡頭等用途。
記者去到旺角登打士街，新裝的閉路電視大都裝於燈柱上，但較一般運輸署所裝的低，離地約2.5米高，亦在燈柱上貼上警方的二維碼。翻查資料警方今年初已於旺角率先安裝 15 組，多位於人流較多的街道，例如登打士街、水渠道花園一帶。

保關鍵設施例最快後年生效 有憂涉對境外電腦系統執法 保安局：擬不具域外效力
The Security Bureau may submit the Protection of Critical Infrastructure Computer Systems Security Bill to the Legislative Council as early as the end of this year. It would require important organisations and enterprises, such as banks and broadcasting organisations, to strengthen computer system security. The dedicated office responsible for implementing the law may be established as early as the end of next year, and the law is expected to take effect as early as 2026. The earlier legislative framework required regulated operators to submit relevant information they could obtain, even if the information was located overseas, prompting concerns that this could involve enforcement against overseas computer systems. A Security Bureau spokesperson said yesterday that the proposed law would have no extraterritorial effect, and that the dedicated office would confirm that all requested information was information obtainable by operators with offices in Hong Kong.
保安局最快今年底向立法會提交保護關鍵基礎設施電腦系統安全條例，要求重要機構、企業如銀行、廣播機構須加強電腦系統保安；負責執行條例的專責辦公室（下稱專辦）最快明年底成立，條例料最快2026年生效。早前立法框架要求受規管營運者須提交其可取得的相關資料，即使該等資料位於境外，有意見擔心涉及對境外電腦系統執法問題；保安局發言人昨日強調擬議條例「不具域外效力」，專辦會確認所要求的資料均為在香港設有辦公室營運者可以取得的資料。

保安局推國安動畫系列 以洩露「機密」試卷比喻觸犯23條
On the fourth anniversary of the promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the Security Bureau launched an online exhibition this July introducing the features of the law and the main offences. It has recently added “National Security Animation Series: On Jai and the Security Bear”. One episode focuses on “stealing state secrets”, using the disclosure of a school examination paper as an analogy for breaching Article 23. It stresses that sharing or disclosing state secrets would constitute the offence of “unlawful disclosure of state secrets” under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance Bill, and states that every member of the public has a duty to protect state secrets.
Secretary for Security Chris Tang today promoted the national security animation produced by the bureau on social media. He said one episode would be released each week, with 10 episodes in total, of which five had been released so far. He said the stories centre on amusing incidents in the daily lives of the protagonists, On Jai and the Security Bear, describing them as “both humorous and meaningful”. A quiz competition with prizes has also been launched, and members of the public were urged to watch the animations.
《香港國安法》頒布4周年，保安局今年7月更推出網上展覽介紹條例特點及主要罪行，近日更新增「國家安全動畫系列：安仔與熊仔」。其中一集就以「竊取國家機密」為主題，以洩露學校試卷為比喻觸犯23條，強調分享或洩露國家秘密會觸犯《維護國家安全條例草案》下「非法披露國家秘密罪」，表明每個市民都有義務保護國家機密。
保安局局長鄧炳強今日在社交媒體上推介由局方自行製作的國安動畫，指每星期將推出一集，合共10集，暫時已推出5集。他指故事圍繞住主角安仔與保安熊仔的生活趣事，形容「既幽默又有意義」，並推出有獎問答遊戲，呼籲市民觀看睇動畫。

23條｜保安局以影響行動部署為由 拒公布生效至今拘捕檢控數字分項
A prosecution case under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (hereafter “Article 23”) was first brought before the court last Friday (14th). It was the first case recorded by the media since Article 23 took effect on 23 March 2024. As the Police National Security Department did not issue a press release, The Witness asked the Security Bureau and police whether it was the first prosecution under Article 23, but received no confirmation.
In their replies last Friday, the Security Bureau and police combined the arrest and prosecution figures with cases involving acts endangering national security since the National Security Law took effect, and did not separately count Article 23 cases. The Witness followed up with the Bureau, asking whether the figures included cases such as money laundering and possession of firearms prosecuted by the National Security Department, and whether a breakdown for Article 23 cases would be available.
The Bureau only repeated the same figures and provided no further information. On Friday this week (21st), the Security Bureau proactively explained that offences endangering national security were serious offences and could involve sensitive activities endangering national security. It therefore would not disclose a breakdown of the relevant arrest figures and information, as doing so would affect operational deployment.
上周五（14 日）有一宗《維護國家安全條例》（下稱「23條」）檢控案件首提堂，是 23 條自 2024 年 3 月 23 日生效後，傳媒紀錄上首案。由於警方國安處未有發新聞公告，《法庭線》向保安局及警方查詢是否 23 條首宗檢控，均未獲確認。
而保安局、警方上周五的回覆，拘捕、檢控數字均連同《國安法》生效後，危及國安行為案件計算，未有單獨統計「23 條」個案。《法庭線》追問局方，數字是否包括國安處檢控的洗黑錢、藏槍案等、會否有 23 條分項統計數字。
局方僅回覆相同數字，沒有其他補充。至本周五（21 日），保安局主動解釋，指危害國家安全屬嚴重罪行，亦可能涉敏感的危害國安活動，披露相關拘捕數字的分項數字及資料，會影響行動部署，故不會公開。

去年「集會」71個較2019年跌逾八成 保安局指無備存所涉訴求
Hong Kong was once a “city of marches”, but the situation changed markedly after 2019. In response to a written question from a Legislative Council member, Secretary for Security Chris Tang said the number of assemblies issued with Letters of No Objection fell from 410 in 2019 to just 71 last year, a drop of more than 80%. The bureau said it did not keep records of the demands involved in “marches and assemblies”. A review of its records found that several of the “assemblies” were political party mobilisation and oath-taking events related to the District Council elections.
香港曾經是「遊行之都」，自2019年後情況大變。保安局局長鄧炳強回答立法會議員書面質詢，指獲發不反對通知書的集會由2019年的410個，跌至去年僅71個，跌幅逾八成。局方稱沒有備存「遊行集會」所涉的訴求，翻查紀綠，多個「集會」均為與區議會選舉相關的政黨造勢和誓師大會。

指明潛逃者｜劉祖廸無特區護照被「撤銷」？ 被「罷董事」蒙兆達現無相關登記？
The Security Bureau today (12th) invoked Article 89 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance for the first time, designating six people who have fled to the United Kingdom and are wanted by national security police—Nathan Law, Mung Siu-tat, Lau Tso-dik, Simon Cheng, Johnny Ka Chi Fok and Tony Ming Da Choi—as “specified absconders”. Measures include revoking their HKSAR passports and prohibiting others from providing them with funds or dealing with funds on their behalf.
Lau Tso-dik’s HKSAR passport was “revoked”, although he wrote that he had “never possessed” one. Johnny Ka Chi Fok was “temporarily suspended from practising”; he was a barrister, but a search of the Hong Kong Bar Association’s roll of barristers found that his details were no longer listed. Mung Siu-tat and Tony Ming Da Choi were “temporarily disqualified from holding director positions”, but no current director registrations for either could be found in Hong Kong. How can a passport that never existed, or practising qualifications that no longer exist, be “revoked”, “temporarily suspended” or “temporarily disqualified”? The Security Bureau said the ordinance treats an absconder’s HKSAR passport as revoked and also treats any HKSAR passport application submitted by the person as invalid.
保安局今（ 12 日）首引用《維護國家安全條例》第 89 條，將已流亡英國、被國安警通緝的羅冠聰、蒙兆達、劉祖廸、鄭文傑、霍嘉誌及蔡明達六人，列為「指明潛逃者」，施加撤銷他們的特區護照、禁止其他人向他們提供資金等或處理資金等措拖。
劉祖廸被「撤銷特區護照」，他撰文指自己「從沒擁有」這護照。霍嘉誌遭「執業資格暫事吊銷」，他曾是大律師，翻查資料，大律師公會的大律師名冊已不再有他的資料。蒙兆達、 蔡明達被「暫罷免董事職位」，但在香港找不到兩人現有董事註冊。未存在的護照、已不存在的執業資格如何「撤銷」或「暫時吊銷」或「暫時罷免」？保安局回應指，條例除將潛逃者的特區護照視為撤銷，也將其提出的特區護照申請視為無效
