數十記者及家人被起底滋擾 私隱公署指收1宗投訴 鍾麗玲稱嚴肅跟進
The Hong Kong Journalists Association released a survey last week indicating that dozens of journalists and their family members had been harassed, including through illegal doxxing, the publication of information without consent, and even the sending of personal data to neighbours and companies where family members worked. Asked how the matter would be followed up, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Ada Chung Lai-ling said the office had so far received one complaint but that it was not in a position to comment. She said that, generally speaking, cases involving criminal elements would be referred to the police. She also urged anyone who suspected that their data had been infringed to contact the office if they had preliminary evidence, saying it would follow up the matter seriously.

有自由身記者指連月遭受滋擾 家人任職公司內聯網收抹黑電郵
The Hong Kong Journalists Association announced a survey last week indicating that dozens of journalists and their family members faced varying degrees of harassment between June and August this year. Freelance journalist Ah Kui, who was among those harassed, said on a Commercial Radio programme this morning that the harassment had continued almost daily since June. At first, Ah Kui received more than 20 nuisance calls a day from people claiming to be National Security Department officers and demanding that Ah Kui immediately stop the reporting work underway. Neighbours later also received harassing letters, while the intranets of organisations where Ah Kui’s siblings worked received harassing and smear emails. Ah Kui believed the purpose of those responsible was to make journalists feel that they were a burden and carried an original sin, and that working in journalism would cause people around them to suffer, so that journalists would “know the difficulties and withdraw.”
記協上周公布調查，指今年6月至8月期間，有多達數十名記者和家人遭受不同程度滋擾。有份遭受滋擾的自由身記者「阿葵」今早在商台節目表示，由6月開始幾乎每日被持續滋擾，最初是每日收到廿多個騷擾電話，對方自稱是國安處人員，要求「阿葵」立即停止手上的報導。其後連鄰居也收到滋擾信，甚至連兄弟姊妹所屬的機構內聯網，都收到滋擾和抹黑電郵。他認為發出滋擾的人，目的是讓記者感到是負累、原罪，從事新聞工作會令身邊人牽連受苦，目的令記者「知難而退」。

鄭嘉如嘆新聞自由衰落：的確有啲嘢唔可以寫 HKFP證創辦人業主接恐嚇信
Hong Kong Journalists Association chairperson Cheng Ka-yu said yesterday (13th) that dozens of cases had been reported in the past few months involving journalists or their family members being threatened. Discussing press freedom in Hong Kong, Cheng said frankly that the industry’s atmosphere was less free than in the past: “There are things that cannot be covered, cannot be written about and cannot be reported now.” Customs issued a statement in the evening to clarify that it did not collect passengers’ telephone numbers during routine clearance procedures and attached great importance to personal privacy. Under Secretary for Security Michael Hau Yip Cheuk said that anyone who was threatened, insulted or harassed could report the matter to law enforcement agencies, and said he did not understand the HKJA’s concern that a government database had been leaked.
香港記者協會主席鄭嘉如昨日（13日）透露，過去數月接獲數十宗記者或其家人遭恐嚇的個案。鄭嘉如談及香港新聞自由，直言業內氣氛不如昔日自由，「有啲嘢而家唔可以採訪、唔可以寫、唔可以報道」。海關晚上發稿表示嚴正澄清，稱進行一般清關工作時不會收集旅客手機號碼，非常重視個人私隱。保安局副局長卓孝業稱，若任何人受威嚇、侮辱或騷擾，可向執法部門舉報，又對記協憂慮政府資料庫洩漏的說法表不解。

滋擾記者｜記協、獨媒等15 機構 記者及家人收恐嚇信 記協憂政府管有資料遭洩漏
The Hong Kong Journalists Association held a press conference today to give an account of harassment incidents targeting journalists in recent months and a related investigation. The investigation found that at least 13 media organisations, the HKJA and two journalism education institutions, involving several dozen people including journalists, their family members, or their family members’ employers, landlords or partner organisations, had been subjected to various forms of harassment and threats. Complaints were sent to the home addresses of some people or the workplaces of their family members, while at least 36 people were publicly named online and accused of working illegally; some faced violent threats.
The HKJA strongly condemned attempts to obstruct and intimidate journalists from carrying out their work through threats and harassment. It said it believed the conduct was not directed at individual journalists but systematically targeted the journalist community. The HKJA was concerned that personal data held in government databases had been leaked. The HKJA and at least three journalists had reported the matter to the police, while two journalists had lodged complaints with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, and it called on law enforcement agencies to investigate.
Under Secretary for Security Michael Hau Yip Cheuk responded that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law and no one should be threatened or harassed. He also said there had so far been no report of a leak from government databases, adding, “I don’t know why the HKJA has made this allegation.” Hong Kong Customs issued a serious clarification in the evening, saying that it monitored and inspected inbound and outbound passengers and others through risk assessment and intelligence analysis. It said personal mobile phone numbers were not collected during customs clearance and stressed that it would ensure all actions complied with the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.
香港記者協會今召開記者會，交代近月針對記者滋擾事件及相關調查。調查發現，至少 13 間媒體和記協、兩間新聞教育機構，約數十人，包括記者、其家人或家人僱主、業主或合作機構等，受不同方式滋擾和恐嚇，部分人的家庭住址或家人工作地點收到投訴，也有至少 36 人在網上被「點名」指工作違法，部分暴力恐嚇。
記協強烈譴責有人試圖用威脅及滋擾等手段妨礙及嚇退記者工作，相信有關行為非針對個別記者，而是有系統地針對記者群體。記協擔憂政府管有的個人資料庫洩漏，記協和至少三名記者已報警、兩名記者已向私隱專員公署投訴，呼籲執法部門調查。
保安局副局長卓孝業回應事件指，香港是法治社會，任何人不應受威嚇或騷擾，又指暫時無政府資料庫泄漏報告，「唔知道為何記協點解有呢個指控」。香港海關晚上嚴正澄清，指透過風險評估及情報分析，對進出境旅客等進行監控及查驗，進行清關工作時不會收集旅客個人手機號碼，強調會確保任何行動符合私隱條例要求。

記協指最少 15 記者家人或其僱主被不同方式滋擾及恐嚇 主席鄭嘉如本人及2兩家人亦收到 Meta 維基助查已封一用戶
HKJA chair Cheng Ka-yee said today that large-scale, systematic harassment targeting journalists had been discovered in recent months. The harassment included doxxing the addresses of journalists and their family members, followed by large numbers of complaint letters containing complaints or objectionable content being sent to the workplaces or partner organisations of the journalists or their family members. The names or personal information of at least 36 journalists also appeared in Facebook posts or graphics expressing hatred towards journalists. HKJA earlier complained to Facebook’s parent company Meta and the Wikimedia Foundation. After investigations by the two companies, it was found that one Wikimedia user had used multiple accounts to post journalists’ personal information in Wikimedia articles. The person has since been banned by Wikimedia. HKJA has made an initial identification of the person and has reported the harassment to the police and complained to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data. It does not rule out taking legal action after establishing the person’s user identity.
記協主席鄭嘉如今天表示，近月發現大規模、系統性針對記者的滋擾事件，包括先「起底」記者及其家庭成員的住址，又投寫大量投訴或不容內容的投訴信至記者或其家人的工作機構、合作機構。另外最少有 36 名記者的姓名或個人資料，出現在 facebook 一些仇視記者的帖文或製圖，記協早前向 facebook 母公司 Meta 及維基百科基金會投訴，兩間公司展開調查後，發現一名維基用戶同時以多個帳號，在維基條目張貼記者個人資料，該人現已被維基封禁，記協初步掌握該人士的身份，並已就滋擾事件報警及向個人資料私隱專員公署投訴，不排除掌握其用戶身份後採取法律行動。

收自稱「愛國愛港人士」恐嚇信 林進指不願助長恐懼：我對得人拜得神
“同行搬屋”, a moving company founded by former Yuen Long District councillor Matthew Chun Lam, posted on social media last night (24th) saying it had recently received a threatening letter sent by someone describing themselves as a “patriotic Hong Kong-loving person”. The letter also indicated that copies would be sent to the Liaison Office, the Office for Safeguarding National Security and other places. In the post, Matthew Chun Lam criticised the sender for making threats anonymously, and stressed that they could “face people and the gods with a clear conscience”, saying they were unwilling to fuel fear and had therefore decided to make the incident public.
由前元朗區議員林進創辦的搬屋公司「同行搬屋」昨晚（24日）在社交平台發文，表示日前收到一封自稱「愛國愛港人士」寄出的恐嚇信，而信件亦標示會將副本寄至中聯辦、國安公署等地。林進在帖文中批評發信人，以「無名無姓」作出恐嚇手段；又強調自己「對得人，拜得神」，表明不願助長恐懼，故決定公開事件。

蘇惠德收恐嚇電話 男子涉FB相關帖文下留言「炸死全家先有證據」判囚
Chief Magistrate So Wai Tak received a threatening telephone call in December 2020, in which the caller threatened to “bomb your wife and children to death”. A man was alleged to have posted the comment “Bomb the whole family to death, then there’ll be evidence” in the Facebook group “51 黃金良心圈” and under a Cable News report, in breach of a court injunction. He was found guilty of civil contempt of court.
High Court judge Ho Ho Man handed down his judgment on Monday (14th), sentencing him to four months’ imprisonment in his absence. The judgment said the defendant did not attend the hearing or appoint a lawyer to represent him. The court had earlier issued an arrest warrant and sent the relevant documents to the defendant by email. It considered that it had made every effort to notify him, but he still failed to appear, and that the court was entitled to sentence him in his absence.
The judgment said that, in sentencing, it had taken into account that the comment was specific and extremely serious. It was not merely empty talk and incitement, but also encouraged others to take action. The defendant had targeted a senior judicial officer and his wife and children, which any reasonable person would find completely unacceptable. The defendant had clearly refused to participate in the hearing and also appeared to have deliberately absconded while on bail. The court therefore considered the sentence appropriate and proportionate.
總裁判官蘇惠德於 2020 年 12 月接獲恐嚇電話，對方揚言「要炸死你老婆仔女」。一男子被指於 Facebook 「51 黃金良心圈」群組及《有線新聞》 報道帖文留言「炸死全家先有證據」，違反法庭禁制令，被裁定民事藐視法庭罪成。
高院法官高浩文周一（14 日）頒下判詞，在被告缺席聆訊下將其判囚 4 個月。判詞指，被告沒出庭應訊，亦沒派律師代表；法庭早前已發拘捕令，並將涉案文件透過電郵傳送予被告，認為已盡力通知，惟被告仍沒到庭，法庭有權在其缺席下作出判刑。
判詞續指，量刑時考慮涉案留言具體和極其嚴重，不僅屬空談和煽動，更是鼓勵他人採取行動；又指被告針對高級司法人員及其妻兒，正常人亦覺完全不能接受；被告明顯拒絕參與聆訊，亦看似故意棄保潛逃，故判刑是合適及合乎比例。

香港獨立記者疑遭國安威嚇不要於抗爭紀念日出外 否則禍及家人
A Hong Kong-based independent journalist said he received a threatening message believed to be from national security authorities on the fourth anniversary of the 2019 anti-extradition protest movement. The sender had information on his entire family and told him not to go out casually on the anniversaries of the two major protest dates in 2019, June 9 and 12.
The journalist, who uses the name “Explosive Head” online, posted a screenshot of the message on his page. It said the sender had the names, identity card numbers and telephone numbers of the journalist, his parents and his two older sisters. The sender told him not to “fool around everywhere” on June 9 and 12, saying that “going up the mountain is dangerous” and that it was unknown who might target him or “invite” his family for tea.
一名在香港的獨立記者指，在2019年“反送中”抗爭運動四周年時收到懷疑是來自國安的恐嚇訊息，對方擁有他全家人的資料，又叫他不要在抗爭的紀念日隨便出外。
該名在網上以“爆炸頭”為名的記者在他的專頁上貼出一張通訊程式截圖，對方擁有他與父母、兩位姊姊的名稱、身份證及電話號碼，說要提提他不要兩個2019年的大型抗爭日子6月9日及12日“周圍亂玩”，稱“上山很危險”，不知道會有甚麼人搞他，或是找他的家人喝茶。
