社民連街站籌款遭票控 4人認罪判罰款 陳寶瑩透露另有3張同類傳票待處理
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”. Acting Chief Magistrate Chi Wai (1965) Cheung took into account that the booth was peaceful and that passers-by were not induced to donate. Chan Po-ying was ultimately fined HK$1,200, while the other three were each fined HK$800.

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。

香港監察:遭國安處警告違法 首有外地組織被指控
The British non-governmental organisation Hong Kong Watch said today that it had received a warning from the police’s National Security Department accusing it of violating Article 29 of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the offence of “collusion with a foreign country or external forces to endanger national security”. The warning said Hong Kong Watch’s executive director, Benedict Rogers, could face three years’ imprisonment or a HK$100,000 fine, making Hong Kong Watch the first foreign organisation targeted by the National Security Department. In addition, Hong Kong internet users have been unable to access Hong Kong Watch’s website since mid-last month.
