【23條立法】鄧炳強：我俾人制裁咁耐都無穿無爛 林定國稱有方案應對
Article 23 of the Basic Law came into effect after being gazetted last Saturday (23 March). Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok and Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung have recently appeared frequently in media interviews to explain the legislation. Asked on a radio programme this morning whether they were concerned about a new round of Western sanctions, Tang said: “When you talk about sanctions, one person is already sitting here. I’ve been sanctioned for so long and remain unscathed.” Lam said some Western countries were unfriendly towards Hong Kong, but that they were mentally prepared and had practical plans to respond, although he declined to disclose details.

英議員引內部文件 英國去年11月起「無限期暫停」考慮制裁中國官員
After Article 23 of the Basic Law was passed, the UK, US and other countries, as well as several international organisations, issued statements expressing concern that Hong Kong’s rule of law, human rights and freedoms would be harmed. British MP and former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith raised an urgent question yesterday (20), citing an internal document that said the British Government had decided last November to “indefinitely suspend” consideration of sanctions against Chinese officials. He said bluntly that this was a terrible decision that defied reality. Records show that on 13 November last year, former British Prime Minister David Cameron returned to politics and was appointed Foreign Secretary.
《基本法》第23條通過後，英美等國及多個國際組織先後發表聲明，憂慮香港法治和人權自由受損。英國國會議員、保守黨前黨魁施志安昨（20）提出緊急質詢，又引述內部文件指，去年11月英國政府已決定「無限期暫停」考慮制裁中國官員，直言這是違背現實的可怕決定。翻查資料，去年11月13日英國前首相卡梅倫重返政壇，獲委任外交大臣一職。

【23條立法】有美國兩院議員聯署促制裁 鄧炳強轟恫嚇、騙徒手法
Four members of the US Senate and House of Representatives jointly signed a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday, saying that Hong Kong’s legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law would further weaken the rule of law and fundamental freedoms and harm US interests in Hong Kong. They called for measures including sanctions against officials who undermine Hong Kong’s democracy, and warned US businesses and citizens about the risks they face in Hong Kong. Secretary for Security Chris Tang denounced the move as intimidation and “scam tactics”: “You can’t fool Hong Kong people!” He said he knew many Americans living in Hong Kong who understood that Article 23 legislation could protect their safety: “They’ve all told me that living in Hong Kong is much safer than living in the US!”
4名美國參眾兩院議員聯署，昨去信美國國務卿布林肯，指香港就《基本法》第23條立法，將進一步削弱法治、基本自由，及損害美國在港利益，呼籲採取措施包括制裁損害香港民主的官員，並提醒美國商人、公民在港面對的風險。保安局局長鄧炳強炮轟對方恫嚇、「騙徒手法」：「係呃唔到我哋香港人㗎！」他表示，認識很多在港生活的美國人，都知道23條立法可保障其安全：「佢哋都同我講喺香港生活，係比美國安全得係好多！」

許智峯網上「開全名」特區政府：強烈譴責恫嚇司法及政府人員
The Department of Justice issued a press release on Saturday (March 2) clarifying that a prosecution officer who had recently left the department was said online to be on a so-called sanctions list that a US congress member threatened to create on November 1 last year. It reiterated that the officer had resigned in September last year. Hui Chi-fung, the wanted former Legislative Council member, named in full on social media yesterday 19 judicial and government personnel who had participated in his four cases. The HKSAR Government issued a statement today strongly condemning fugitive Hui for intimidating judicial officers and government personnel in Hong Kong, saying that his conduct involved multiple offences, including the offence of colluding with foreign or external forces to endanger national security under Article 29 of the National Security Law.

鄧炳強批海外組織提倡制裁 「你哋用黑社會方式恫嚇我哋」
Hong Kong Watch and more than 80 organisations issued a joint statement yesterday (19th) in response to the consultation on legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law, and called for sanctions against officials involved in the legislation. Secretary for Security Chris Tang told reporters this afternoon (20th) that the organisations were advocating sanctions against officials and criticised them, saying, “You are intimidating us using triad-style methods!” The Hong Kong Government issued a press release on the same day, saying the statement was suspected of constituting the offence of colluding with foreign or external forces to endanger national security under Article 29 of the National Security Law.
香港監察（Hong Kong Watch）昨（19日）與逾80個組織發表聯署聲明，回應《基本法》第23條立法的諮詢，又要求制裁23條立法的相關官員。保安局局長鄧炳強今（20日）下午見記者，批評有關組織提倡制裁官員，「你哋用黑社會方式恫嚇我哋！」港府同日發新聞稿，稱有關聲明涉嫌構成《國安法》第29條下的勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全罪。

張舉能：法官受制裁威脅屬「與法治背道而馳」，絕不能接受
The Opening of the Legal Year 2024 ceremony was held at Hong Kong City Hall today (22nd). In his speech, Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal Andrew Cheung said that threats of sanctions or retaliation against judges carrying out their judicial duties were “in fact contrary to the rule of law and absolutely unacceptable”. He also said that when courts make unpopular or even wrong decisions, this does not mean that the judicial system or judiciary is failing or that reform is needed. He noted that the work of the judiciary was often viewed through the lens of the National Security Law, and that looking at Hong Kong’s rule of law and judicial independence in this way would “inevitably produce a very narrow, and even inaccurate, view”. Cheung also encouraged senior members of the legal profession to apply to become High Court judges. Although judges at times have to “endure pressure and tolerate loneliness”, he said the role was meaningful and “not merely a profession, but a calling, awaiting the response of those passionate about serving society.”
2024年法律年度開啟典禮今（22日）在香港大會堂舉行。終審法院首席法官張舉能發表演辭，提到當法官履行其司法職務時，卻遭受制裁或報復的威脅，此「實與法治背道而馳，絕對不能接受」。他又指，「法庭作出不受歡迎甚或是錯誤的決定時，這並不代表司法體系或司法機構運作失效，或需要進行變革。」他又提及，司法機構的工作時常被人透過《國安法》的棱鏡來審視，以這種眼光看待香港法治及司法獨立現狀，「必然產生非常狹隘，甚至失實的看法。」張亦寄望法律界資深一輩踴躍申請加入高院法官，雖然法官不時需「承受壓力和忍受孤獨」，但卻具意義，而且「不只是一份職業，更是一份呼召，等待着熱心服務社會者的回應」。
