Blacklisting Chong Mui-yam|Merchandise for “We Are the Happiest” withdrawn early after complaints; Chong: “Hong Kong-style Cultural Revolution”

封殺莊梅岩|《我們最快樂》賣紀念品 收投訴提前停售 莊梅岩:香港式文化大革命

Playwright Chong Mui-yam, who wrote in September that she had been blacklisted by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon, posted again on social media today. She said her work “We Are the Happiest” was “cancelled” in mid-last month after complaints were received. In a “blacklisting timeline”, she described the “sequence of events and personal feelings during the Hong Kong-style Cultural Revolution”, saying that merchandise for “We Are the Happiest” was sold to pay the salaries of staff whose work had been “cancelled”. The sales platform stopped selling the merchandise early after receiving a complaint email. She also said other co-organisers had received complaints alleging that helping to sell the merchandise was “equivalent to opposing the government”, and threatening to report them.

今年 9 月發文揭被演藝、藝發局、康文署和西九等封殺的劇作家莊梅岩,其編劇作品《我們最快樂》上月中因收投訴「被取消」。莊梅岩今日在社交媒體再發文,以「封殺時間軸」整理「香港式文化大革命之時序及個人感受」,指《我們最快樂》售賣紀念品支付受「被取消」工作人員薪金,銷售平台收到投訴電郵後提早停售。她又指其他合辦單位亦收到投訴,指協助銷售紀念品「等同對抗政府」,威脅舉報。

National Security Era | One Punch reveals anonymous, false complaints forced it to cancel events; university staff and others barred from future talks at bookstore

國安時代|一拳揭因匿名失實投訴被逼取消活動 大學教職員等將來無法到書店做分享

Hong Kong independent bookstore One Punch Bookstore, which was singled out for criticism by Sai Wan mouthpiece Wen Wei Po, said in a Facebook post on Thursday (18th) that it had been forced to cancel several events over the past two months because of anonymous and false complaints. “There was one new book for which a sharing session had already been arranged. Its publication was a project funded by an organisation. After a complaint was made to the funder, not only did the event have to be cancelled, but the book could not be supplied to One Punch for sale either,” the bookstore said. One Punch said five categories of people—professionals, university staff, organisations running funded projects, award recipients, and shops or service providers—would be unable to participate in its future sharing events. It stressed: “One Punch will continue throwing punches and see what room there is left to make a difference.” Migratory Birds, a group supporting people in prison and their families, commented: “Thank you, One Punch. Let’s stand together.” Hans Yeung Wing-yu, the person in charge of overseas online media outlet Education Stinger, which first disclosed at the end of July that One Punch had been “complained about”, and a former manager of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, told The Chaser News that targeting the bookstore had become an irreversible calamity in Hong Kong’s cultural collapse. Wen Wei Po launched its “Drive Out Soft Resistance” series in July, after which someone emailed Secretary for Education Christine Choi, various education groups and all schools in Hong Kong, calling for One Punch to be blacklisted. This was already a sign that a storm was brewing, foreshadowing what One Punch described in Thursday’s post. Hans Yeung Wing-yu hoped that One Punch could continue to hold on and persist tenaciously in the gaps.

受西環喉舌《文匯報》點名批評的香港獨立書店「一拳書館」(下稱:一拳)周四(18日)在社媒Facebook發帖揭露,書店過去兩個月發生多次因匿名和失實的投訴而要取消活動,「試過有一本新書本來安排好分享會,出版是某機構受資助的項目。投訴去到資助人,活動不只要取消,連那本書也不可以供貨給一拳發售」。一拳表示,專業人士、大學教職員、受資助項目機構、獲獎人士以及店舖或服務供應商等5類人士,未來無法參加一拳的分享活動,但強調「一拳會繼續揮拳,看看還有甚麼空間發揮。」支援在囚人士及家屬團體「候鳥」在帖子留言:「謝謝一拳,一齊頂住。」 7月底率先揭露一拳「被投訴」的海外網媒《教育刺針》負責人、考評局前經理楊穎宇向《追新聞》表示, 對付書店,已經成為香港文化淪陷不可逆轉的劫數。《文匯報》7月推出〈趕絕軟對抗系列〉,然後有人發電郵予教育局局長蔡若蓮、一眾教育團體以及香港各學校,要求將一拳列入黑名單,這已是山雨欲來風滿樓,預示了一拳周四在帖文所說的。楊穎宇希望一拳能夠繼續撐下去,在狹縫裏頑強不息。

CUHK Arts Fair | Joint College Student Unions’ name “disappears”; programme booklet left blank; convener: more external pressure

中大藝墟|聯書院學生會名稱「消失」 場刊「開天窗」 召集人:多了外部壓力

On the final day of CUHK’s start-of-term Arts Fair (12th), members of the Joint College Student Unions Working Group’s preparatory committee and volunteers held flags of the various college student unions and the CUHK Student Union for a group photo in front of a stage backdrop bearing the words “Humanistic Care”, “College Spirit”, “Mountain City” and “Do It Again”, drawing a close to what they described as a “successfully completed” event. Since the CUHK Student Union disbanded in 2021, the large-scale Arts Fair, which allows different student societies to promote themselves and recruit committee members, has been organised by the working group. As it entered its fourth year, the preparatory committee said it clearly felt that there was “more external pressure” and had at one point discussed “whether to continue organising it”. Working group convener Sin Cheuk-yin said the group had earlier received a “reminder” from the university that the event’s backdrop and programme booklet could not carry the name and introduction of the Joint College Student Unions, or content related to the CUHK Student Union, otherwise the event might not be held as scheduled. Some content in the programme booklet was consequently left blank, and its final page could no longer list the names of the various college student unions as in previous years; instead, it was printed with the words: “Respectfully from a group of students still working to rebuild the CUHK Student Union.”

中大開學活動「藝墟」最後一日(12日),聯書院學生會工作小組籌委和義工,手持各書院學生會和中大學生會的旗幟,在印上「人文關懷」、「書院精神」、「山城」、「再嚟一次」等字句的舞台佈景版前大合照,為「順利完成」的活動劃下句號。 自 2021 年中大學生會解散後,這個讓不同學會宣傳和「招莊」的大型藝墟,一直由小組接手籌辦。踏入第四年,籌委說明顯感到「多了外部的壓力」,更曾一度討論「仲搞唔搞」。小組召集人冼卓言說,早前接獲校方「提醒」,活動佈景板、場刊都不能刊登聯書院學生會的名稱和介紹、以及與中大學生會相關內容,否則或不能如期舉辦;在部分內容要留白「開天窗」的場刊,最後一頁亦未能如以往列出各書院學生會名稱,改印「一群仍在努力重建中大學生會的同學敬上」。

Lingnan University Students’ Union | Members say police searched them and security confiscated orientation publications; university says activity was unauthorised

嶺大學生會|成員稱派迎新刊物遇警搜查、保安沒收 嶺大:未獲授權進行活動

Lingnan University held its opening ceremony yesterday (25th). A Students’ Union member said that members were stopped and searched by police while distributing orientation publications outside the university, and that campus security confiscated publications held by students and reminded freshmen that the “content was not entirely accurate”. The acting editor-in-chief of the interim editorial board said they were angry and puzzled by the incident, questioned whether the university had the authority to take away publications issued by editorial board, and feared the incident would create a chilling effect, silencing other student organisations. Separately, the Lingnan University Students’ Union announced last night that its orientation camp, originally scheduled for the end of August, could not be held as planned because of “force majeure factors” at the venue. In its response, Lingnan University did not address whether the university had reported the matter to police or why the publications had been confiscated. It merely repeated a statement issued last month, saying that the Students’ Union was an externally registered society and had not been authorised to conduct any activities on campus. The Collective向警方查詢 whether the university had reported the matter to police and the reasons for the action, and was still awaiting a response.

嶺南大學昨(25日)舉行開學禮,有學生會成員稱在大學門外派發迎新刊物期間被警員截查,校園保安亦沒收同學手持刊物、提醒新生「內容不盡正確」。嶺大臨時編委署理總編輯表示對事件感到憤怒和不解,質疑校方是否有權力收走編委出版刊物,擔心事件會造成寒蟬效應,令其他學生組織噤聲。另外,嶺大學生會晚上宣布原定於 8 月尾舉行的迎新營,因場地方「不可抗力因素」無法按計劃舉行。 嶺大回覆時未有回應校方是否報警、為何要沒收刊物等,僅重複上月發出的聲明,指學生會為外部註冊社團,未獲授權於校內進行任何活動。《集誌社》向警方查詢是否接獲校方報案、基於甚麼理由行動等,仍候回覆。

7.1 Arrest | Woman holding yellow umbrella bearing slogan arrested; police stop eight and verbally warn three

7.1 拘捕|舉印有標語黃傘女子被捕 警截查八人 三人遭口頭警告

Police said that at 10:15pm last night, officers stopped a 64-year-old woman who had opened an umbrella bearing a slogan on Hennessy Road and gave her a verbal warning. Police said she refused to cooperate and was arrested for “disorderly conduct in a public place”. The case was referred to the Wan Chai District Crime Unit for follow-up. The reporter observed last night that the woman, wearing a black windbreaker, black hat and face mask, opened a yellow umbrella bearing the words “Fearless” and walked across the road towards the area outside Sogo. She was immediately surrounded by a large number of police officers and orange cordon tape. The woman was heard asking loudly, “What have I done?” A plain-clothes officer said: “Because you opened your umbrella just now, you intended to disrupt public order and may have committed the offence of disorderly conduct in a public place.” She was then taken to a police vehicle for investigation. During the incident, the woman repeatedly shouted, “Be more polite!” Before the vehicle doors closed, she faced outwards and shouted, “Fearless! Fearless!” The police vehicle subsequently drove away in the direction of Yee Wo Street.

警方表示,昨晚 10 時 15 分,一名 64 歲女子,在軒尼詩道張開印有標語雨傘,警員截查,向她發出口頭警告。警方指該女子拒合作,警員以「公眾地方行為不檢」將她拘捕,案件交由灣仔警區重案組第跟進。 記者昨晚觀察,該名身穿黑色風衣、戴黑色帽和口罩的女士,打開寫有「無畏無懼」的黃色雨傘,橫過馬路步至崇光百貨外,隨即被大批警員拉橙帶包圍,女士當時曾高聲問「我犯咗咩事?」有便衣警稱:「因為你頭先開咗把遮,你係意圖擾亂公眾秩序,有機會干犯公眾地方行為不檢」,並帶她上警車調查。期間女士不住高呼:「有禮貌啲!有禮貌啲!」,並在警車關門前面朝外高呼:「無畏無懼!無畏無懼!」警車其後駛走往怡和街方向駛去。

MilMill’s New Plant|Relocation Turns Profits into Debt; FEHD, Fire Services and Police Visit Open Day: “Even at 19–0, You Still Have to Keep Kicking”

喵坊新廠|遷廠賺錢變負債 辦開放日食環、消防、警上門 「19 比 0 都要繼續踢」

Hong Kong’s only carton recycling plant, MilMill, was scheduled to hold its first open day at its new premises today (the 9th). After more than a year spent relocating and rebuilding following a forced move, the “cat” had spent months preparing to introduce its new home to the public. The event ultimately fell through because it did not have a “place of public entertainment licence”. Over the past week, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Fire Services Department and police visited one after another, saying they had received complaints involving an absence of a “place of public entertainment licence”, “fire hazards” and “unlawful assembly”. MilMill has once again entered the public spotlight. Co-founder Chi Chung Lo joked that the incident had instead “reminded everyone that MilMill is still here”. After the company was forced to relocate, turning from making money to carrying debt, its open day—intended to promote community education—also fell through. Chi Chung Lo said: “Even if it’s 19–0, you still have to keep kicking, unless you’ve closed down; then we’ll just do our own thing.” In the face of adversity, the new plant continues to organise “non-open” group tours, use “cat buses” to engage with the community and promote waste reduction, and nurture people born in the 1990s to take over in the hope of establishing sustainable operations. Its decision to remain in Hong Kong and promote waste reduction is entirely because “we’re Hong Kong people, after all”.

香港唯一紙包盒回收廠「喵坊 MilMill」,原定今日(9 日)舉行遷廠後首個開放日。迫遷搬廠重建歷時一年多,這隻「喵」為開放日籌備數月,準備向公眾介紹新家,最終活動因「無娛樂牌」而告吹。一周下來,食環署、消防處、警方接連上門,稱接獲涉及「無娛樂牌」、「火警危險」、「非法集結」等投訴。 喵坊再次走進輿論一隅,共同創辦人盧智聰笑言,事件反而「喚醒返大家仲有 MilMill 喺度」。公司遇迫遷搬廠、賺錢變負債,辦開放日為推動社區教育亦告吹,盧智聰說「19 比 0 你都要繼續踢㗎,除非你執咗嘅啫,咁我哋咪做自己嘢。」面對逆境,新廠繼續辦「不開放」的團體導賞團,以「貓巴士」接觸社區推動減廢,培育 90 後接手盼建立可持續經營,留在香港為減廢全因「香港人嚟㗎嘛」。

[Budget] Social Democratic League cancels planned protest at night, citing “strong pressure”

【財政預算案】社民連原擬示威 晚上稱因「強大壓力」取消

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po will deliver the new annual Budget today. The Social Democratic League had planned to stage a protest outside the Legislative Council this morning and had issued a media invitation. However, its chairwoman, Chan Po-ying, said in the evening: “Due to strong pressure, the Social Democratic League’s petition concerning the Budget, scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow, has been cancelled. Please take note.” The Social Democratic League issued this morning a press release that it had planned to read at the protest, titled “Be Bold in Reform, Accept Supervision, Dare to Break the Deadlock, Curb the Rich and Help the Poor”. The statement said Hong Kong’s fiscal deficit was approaching $100 billion and, excluding revenue from bond issuance, the shortfall was as high as $200 billion. It also said fiscal reserves had fallen from 110 million in 2019 to less than $700 billion. Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office, travelled south recently, which in reality was a reminder for the government to “identify shortcomings”.

財政司司長陳茂波今日將發表新一年度《財政預算案》,社民連原擬今早到立法會外示威,亦已向傳媒發出採訪通知。不過至晚上主席陳寶瑩稱:「由於強大壓力,明天上午9時正,社民連有關財政預算的請願行動取消,敬請留意。」 社民連今早發出原擬在示威中讀出的新聞稿,題為《勇於改革 接受監督 敢於破局 限富扶貧》。聲明指本港財赤近千億,如不計及發債收入,缺口高達2,000億,而財政儲備亦由2019年的1.1億跌至不足7,000億,港澳辦主任夏寶龍日前南下,實際是提醒政府「查找不足」。

Denise Ho holds online concert at Mount Zero Books; police say they received “noise complaints” and cordon off area outside bookstore to investigate

何韻詩於見山書店辦網上音樂會 警聲稱「收噪音投訴」封鎖書店外調查

Independent singer Denise Ho, who has faced pressure from the Hong Kong government, held an online concert at Mount Zero Books in Sheung Wan on Sunday afternoon, with a livestream also taking place outside the bookstore. The concert lasted about an hour. More than a dozen police officers arrived in succession, saying they had “received noise complaints”. Police put up a cordon, recorded the identity-card details of everyone inside the bookstore one by one, and filmed the situation inside. The indoor performance was also temporarily suspended midway through the outdoor livestream. Ho subsequently continued the concert inside the bookstore, and the online livestream was not affected.

受港府打壓的獨立歌手何韻詩,周日下午於上環見山書店舉辦網上音樂會,書店外亦有直播。音樂會舉行了一小時左右,十數名警員先後到場,聲稱「收到噪音投訴」。 警察在現場拉起封鎖線,逐一記低書店內人士身份證,並拍攝書店內情況,戶外的直播中段,室內的演出亦一度暫停,之後何韻詩繼續在書店內繼續進行音樂會,網上直播並沒有影響。

Baptist University student union room locked; university cites poor management and plans reservation system

浸大學生會被鎖會室 校方稱因管理不善、計劃實施預約制

The Baptist University Students’ Union said yesterday that the university had recently locked its old campus union room, citing anonymous complaint letters. The union criticised the move as seriously disrupting its operations and indirectly undermining student self-governance. The post was deleted today. In response to an enquiry from The Independent Media, the university said it had found poor management of one of the meeting rooms managed by the Students’ Union, which had previously been used for activities unrelated to union affairs. To improve the situation, the university plans to introduce a reservation system, following the common practice for other campus venues and facilities. The Students’ Union will be given priority to reserve the meeting room in future. The room will remain closed before the system is implemented, and the university will maintain communication with students.

浸大學生會昨日稱,近日校方以收到匿名投訴信為由,鎖上其舊校會室。學生會批評,校方做法嚴重干擾會方運作,間接損害學生自治。不過,有關帖文今日已經刪除。 浸大校方回覆《獨媒》查詢稱,發現由學生會管理的其中一個會議室出現管理不善的情況,過去曾被用作與會務無關的活動;為改善情況,校方計劃參考校園其他場地和設施的普遍做法,實施預約制度,學生會日後可優先預約使用該會議室。在制度實施前,會室暫停開放,校方會與學生保持溝通。

June 4 35: Lingnan University editorial board Cancels Call for Submissions, Citing “Force Majeure”; University Says It Aims to Ensure Students Grow in a Safe and Positive Environment

【六四35】嶺大編委取消徵稿稱因「不可抗力」 校方:確保學生在安全正面環境中成長

The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board posted on social media last Friday (the 31st), inviting submissions under the title “Writing Together: Blood and Rain Yesterday”. It hoped to collect various literary and artistic works related to “May 35” and publish them on “the day after June 3”. However, that evening, editorial board announced that the call for submissions had been provisionally cancelled due to “force majeure”. It is understood that the university told editorial board it had received numerous email complaints and asked the students to remove the call-for-submissions post, otherwise it might consider no longer allowing the Lingnan University Students’ Union to use the university’s name. Lingnan University told Independent Media in response to an enquiry that, after learning that a student organisation had published the relevant post on social media, it had immediately taken appropriate follow-up action. The university said it attaches great importance to students’ words and conduct, and that its top priority is to ensure they grow in a safe, healthy and positive environment. If it finds that students have engaged in conduct suspected of violating rules or potentially involving legal risks, the university will handle the matter seriously.

嶺南大學學生會編委會上周五(31日)在社交媒體發帖,以《共寫.昨日血雨》為題徵稿,希望收集關於「五月三十五日」的各類文藝創作,並在「6月3日翌日」發佈;但同日晚上,編委再宣佈由於「受不可抗力因素影響」,徵稿暫定取消。據了解,嶺大校方向編委稱收到大量電郵投訴,又要求學生撤銷徵稿帖文,否則可能考慮不再容許嶺大學生會使用大學名義。 嶺大回覆《獨媒》查詢指,得悉有學生組織於社交媒體上發布相關帖文後,已即時作出適當跟進。嶺大非常重視學生的言行,校方最優先考慮的是確保他們在一個安全、健康、正面的環境中成長。如果發現有學生有任何涉嫌違規或可能存在法律風險的行為,校方會嚴肅處理。
