公民黨周日辦集思會 梁家傑嘆政黨無立錐之地 表明不續任主席
The Civic Party will hold a brainstorming session on Sunday (September 18) to discuss its future direction. Chairman Alan Leong told The Independent Media that he believed the session would discuss issues including the party’s dissolution and transformation, but that there would be no voting. As the leadership is due to change at the end of the year, he said that personally he would not seek re-election as chairman, lamenting that the political environment had left pro-democracy parties with no room to operate and made the way forward difficult.

羅健熙盼黨內資源緊絀下盡做 若區議會不改制民主黨將繼續參選
Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen earlier said the composition of the District Councils would be reviewed, and that it was not ruled out that members of Area Committees, Fight Crime Committees and Fire Safety Committees could join them, but no decision had yet been made. Asked whether the Democratic Party would contest District Council elections if the councils underwent the above reforms, Lau Kin-hei said the authorities had not yet put forward a concrete reform proposal. There were too many possibilities, and the party would have to consider the matter based on how the councils were changed. Lau reiterated that, as a party rooted in the community, the Democratic Party would “definitely continue if the system does not change” and would carry out community work within the limited space available.
As to whether it would contest the Legislative Council by-election in mid-December, Lau said its position remained the same as before and it would not field anyone to stand.
民政及青年事務局局長麥美娟早前表示,將檢討區議會組成,不排除會讓分區、滅罪和防火委員會成員加入,但現時未有定案。有記者問到區議會有以上改革時,民主黨會否參選區議會。羅健熙表示,當局現時未有確實的改革方案,可能性太多,需視乎改變後的方式如何再作考慮。但羅重申,民主黨作為在社區立根的政黨,「個制度佢唔變就一定繼續」,在有限空間裏做社區工作。
至於會否選參選12月中的立法會補選,羅健熙表示立場如以往一樣,不會派人參選。

文匯報指11環保團體涉暴 每年獲批數千萬撥款
The 11 environmental groups participated in acts described as anti-China and disruptive to Hong Kong, including conducting so-called “charitable fundraising” activities in the name of environmental protection, during which they spread remarks expressing hatred towards the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. During the period of “black violence”, they used waste recycling stations as bases, screened films inciting violence and encouraged residents to participate in “black violence” activities. A Hong Kong Wen Wei Po investigation found that, cloaked in “environmental charity” and a “green guise”, the groups had received grants totalling millions and even tens of millions from the Environment and Conservation Fund over the past three years.
11間環團參與反中亂港惡行,包括借環保之名進行所謂的「慈善籌款」活動,其間散播仇恨香港特區政府的言論;黑暴期間,以垃圾回收站作為據點,播放煽暴電影,鼓動居民參與黑暴活動。香港文匯報記者跟進調查發現,這些環團披着「環保慈善」的「綠色外衣」,過去三年領取數以百萬甚至千萬元的環境及自然保護基金撥款。

民主黨無意參加立會補選
Four Election Committee constituency Legislative Council members recently joined the Government, and the authorities will hold a by-election. Democratic Party chairman Lo Kin-hei told reporters that the party had "not really thought about it", explaining that its chances of winning in the Election Committee constituency were not high, making it difficult to attract interest from party members, so there was little chance of it running.
4名選委界立法會議員早前加入政府,當局將舉行補選。民主黨表示無意參選,民主黨主席羅健熙對記者稱「無乜點諗過」,解釋指由於選委會界別的勝算不高,較難吸引黨友的興趣,所以參選機會不大。

通識教師聯會通過解散
As the last cohort of students studying Liberal Studies advances to Form 6 in September, Citizenship and Social Development will replace Liberal Studies next year. The Hong Kong Liberal Studies Teachers’ Association, one of the city’s two major professional organisations for Liberal Studies teachers and established 17 years ago, held a special general meeting yesterday morning and voted to pass a motion to dissolve. Law Kit-ling, chairwoman of the association’s provisional executive committee, expects it will take three months to handle the remaining assets, which she initially hopes to donate to an education faculty or institution. A veteran Liberal Studies teacher said the dissolution was “the need of the times”.

社民連街站掛無字黑布 哀悼六四及表達自由喪失
Citizens’ Radio was issued a ticket by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department yesterday for “displaying slogans without approval” while setting up a street booth. The League of Social Democrats continued operating a street booth in Causeway Bay this afternoon, hanging blank black cloth to commemorate June 4 and mourn the loss of freedom of expression. League chairwoman Chan Po-ying said the cloth was originally supposed to bear the words “Release political prisoners” and “Power belongs to the people”, but that they could now only express the message through blank cloth. She stressed that the message remained in the hearts of Hong Kong people: “We have not forgotten, and have not given up for a single moment.”

League of Social Democrats chairwoman Chan Po-ying, members Christina Yuen Ching Tang and Lau Fuk-lai, and volunteer Shu Wing Chow were accused of fundraising without a licence while operating a street booth outside Sha Tin MTR Station last June. The four appeared at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts today (26th) and all pleaded guilty to “fundraising in a public place without a permit”.

支聯會拒交資料案 前幹事陳多偉認罪囚3個月
Last year, the Police National Security Department said it had reasonable grounds to believe that the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China was a “foreign agent” and requested that seven members of its Standing Committee submit information, but the request was refused. Five people, including the dissolved Alliance’s former vice-chairperson Chow Hang-tung, were charged with “failing to comply with a notice to provide information”. Former Standing Committee member Leung Kam-wai previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment. Former committee member Chan To-wai also pleaded guilty yesterday and was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment today (11th) at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. In sentencing, National Security Law-designated judge and Chief Magistrate Lo Tak-shun criticised the defendant’s conduct as “quite serious”. He said that, together with other committee members, the defendant had openly stated at Police Headquarters that they would not comply with the instruction to submit information, which was “clearly a challenge to law enforcement agencies”. This had also delayed law enforcement departments’ prevention and investigation of matters involving national security, affecting the public interest.
警方國安處去年指有理由相信支聯會是「外國代理人」,要求7名支聯會常委提交資料被拒。已解散的支聯會前副主席鄒幸彤等5人被控「沒有遵從通知規定提供資料」罪,前常委梁錦威早前認罪判囚3個月,前幹事陳多偉昨亦認罪,今(11日)於西九龍法院判囚3個月。《國安法》指定法官、主任裁判官羅德泉判刑時批評,被告行為「相當嚴重」,與其他幹事在警總公開指不會遵從指示交資料,「明顯是對執法機構的挑戰」,亦延誤了執法部門防止和調查涉國家安全的事情,影響公眾利益。
