人權基金會夥海外港人邵嵐向聯合國提申訴書 要求確認鄒家成遭任意拘留
The US non-profit Human Rights Foundation, together with Laam Siu, an overseas spokesperson for Amnesty International Hong Kong, submitted a complaint to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concerning Owen Chow’s case in the “47-person case”. Laam Siu told Pulse HK that they hoped the UN would confirm that Owen Chow had been arbitrarily and unreasonably detained by the Hong Kong government, and that the move would also generate international solidarity for the other defendants in the 47-person case. She also called on the international community to address the Hong Kong government’s violations of human rights and take corresponding measures, including visa restrictions and sanctions, and urged the government to immediately release all political prisoners.

CFHK等53國際組織去信聯合國緊急呼籲 指香港監獄有系統地虐囚
Fireworks lit up both sides of Victoria Harbour for the Chinese Communist Party’s National Day, but could not change the international community’s view that human rights in Hong Kong have deteriorated. The Hong Kong Committee for Freedom Foundation (CFHK), along with more than 50 international human rights organisations and overseas Hong Kong groups, jointly wrote to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, calling for an investigation into systematic torture in Hong Kong prisons. The letter specifically mentioned the prolonged solitary confinement of Jimmy Lai, Leung Kwok-hung, Chow Hang-tung and Joshua Wong, as well as their being forced to undergo thought reform.

禁止酷刑｜「過期」五年、聯合國報告「失蹤」 人權組織：規避監督可恥 政府：強烈譴責污衊抹黑
The United Nations Convention against Torture has applied to Hong Kong since 1992, and the Hong Kong Government is required to submit periodic reports under the Convention. Its previous report was submitted in 2013. The Committee against Torture examined it in November 2015 and issued concluding observations in December, making recommendations in various areas and requiring the Government to submit a follow-up report by December 2019. The Government has still not submitted the report, delaying it by five years.
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre, an organisation formed by Hong Kong human rights workers overseas, published a report on the 7th. It said that safeguards against torture and inhuman treatment in Hong Kong had been weakened since the implementation of the National Security Law, describing police operations, prison detention and immigration detention as “breeding grounds for torture and inhuman treatment”. The report said that at least three criminal cases in recent years met the definition of torture, but the Department of Justice prosecuted them under other offences rather than the torture offence, which would better reflect their seriousness. It also said the issue of pre-trial detention was becoming more widespread: in the first half of this year, remand prisoners accounted for nearly 40 per cent of the total prison population, contrary to the principle of judicial fairness. The report criticised the Government for refusing to fulfil its obligations under the Convention and intending to evade oversight by the United Nations human rights mechanisms, calling its conduct “undoubtedly hypocritical and shameful”.
In response to enquiries from The Collective Newsroom, a SAR Government spokesperson did not address why the report had still not been submitted after a five-year delay. The spokesperson strongly condemned and opposed the “so-called report” for making false statements and smearing Hong Kong’s situation in various respects.
聯合國《禁止酷刑公約》自 1992 年起適用於香港，港府須按《公約》提交定期報告，對上一次提交報告已是 2013 年，禁止酷刑委員會在 2015 年 11 月審議、並於 12 月發表結論性意見，就不同範疇提出多項建議，要求政府在 2019 年 12 月再提交報告交代跟進措施。不過，港府至今延誤五年仍未提交有關報告。
由海外香港人權工作者組成的香港人權資訊中心，日前（7日）發表報告，指香港自實施《國安法》後，本地防止酷刑和不人道對待的保障措施被削弱，形容「警察行動、監獄拘留及入境羈留成為酷刑及不人道對待事件的溫床」。報告指近年至少有三宗刑事案件或符酷刑定義，但律政司沒用較能反映嚴重性的酷刑罪，而已其他罪行檢控；審前扣留問題越見普遍，今年首半年、還押人士佔整體在囚人士近四成，有違司法公正原則。報告批評政府拒絕履行《公約》責任，意圖規避聯合國人權機制監督，表現「無疑是虛偽可恥」。
特區政府發言人回覆《集誌社》查詢時，未有回應為何延誤五年仍未提交報告，又強烈譴責及反對「所謂報告」對香港各方面情況的失實言論和污衊抹黑。

港府譴責黎智英兒子及團隊 斥濫用聯合國機制抹黑 稱對黎智英獄中待遇指控子虛烏有
Sebastien Lai, son of Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai, and his legal team wrote to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture on the 12th, saying that Jimmy Lai’s health had deteriorated in prison and that he was receiving poor treatment, and asking the United Nations and the United Kingdom to secure his release. The HKSAR government issued a statement on the evening of the 13th, accusing Sebastien Lai of wilfully smearing the Hong Kong National Security Law and the HKSAR judicial system and of abusing UN mechanisms. It said it was strongly dissatisfied with and opposed to this, and said external forces had made unreasonable smears and spread rumours about Jimmy Lai’s treatment in correctional institutions. The government stressed that it would not allow anyone to interfere in the HKSAR’s judicial proceedings and strongly condemned such actions.

黎智英國際律師團隊向聯合國緊急申訴 指李宇軒遭嚴刑逼供作證
Jimmy Lai’s international legal team filed an urgent appeal yesterday (the 4th) with the UN Special Rapporteur on torture, alleging that key prosecution witness Andy Li was subjected to severe torture and forced to give evidence in China. The team said that evidence obtained through torture and coercion could not be relied upon. British King’s Counsel Caoilfhionn Gallagher, who leads the legal team, said that relying on such testimony would amount to indirectly legitimising torture and tarnish the judicial system.
黎智英的國際律師團隊昨（4日）向聯合國酷刑問題特別報告員提出緊急申訴，指案件中的控方關鍵證人李宇軒在中國曾被嚴刑逼供，絕對不能依賴基於酷刑和脅迫獲得的證據。帶領律師團隊的英國御用大律師加拉格爾（Caoilfhionn Gallagher）指出，若依賴這些證供將等同間接合理化酷刑，玷污了司法體系。

何君堯成立NGO獲聯合國特別諮詢地位 「講好中國故事」
As the United Nations has focused on human rights issues in China and Hong Kong in recent years, the pro-establishment lawmaker Junius Ho’s non-governmental organisation, the International Public Welfare Legal Services Association, established in 2018, was granted recognition by the United Nations Economic and Social Council at the end of last year and given special consultative status. It can take part in UN work, including attending meetings and submitting written statements. Ho said the platform would “speak for the motherland and tell China’s story well”. Guang Media’s tally found that 101 Chinese NGOs have so far been granted consultative status, 47 of which obtained it in 2018 or later. A scholar analysed that pro-establishment NGOs entering the UN platform cheerlead for China and increase its influence in discourse on human rights issues.
聯合國近年關注中、港的人權議題，建制派立法會議員何君堯在2018年成立的非政府機構「國際公益法律服務協會」，去年底獲聯合國經濟及社會理事會認可，得到特別諮詢地位（Special consultative status），可參加聯合國工作，包括出席會議、提交書面發言等。何君堯表明平台「為祖國發聲，講好中國故事」。《光傳媒》統計發現，至今有101個中國NGO獲諮詢地位，其中47個在2018年或以後才獲得諮詢地位。有學者分析，親建制NGO進入聯合國平台為中國搖旗吶喊，增加在人權議題話語權。

【六四34】保安局譴責聯合國人權辦及記協假借自由之名顛倒是非
Police arrested one person and “took away” 23 others in the vicinity of Victoria Park and Causeway Bay yesterday (June 4), including former Hong Kong Journalists Association chairperson Mak Yin-ting, who said she was conducting an interview. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Hong Kong Journalists Association issued statements criticising the actions. In a statement today, the Security Bureau said the two organisations, among others, had “made unreasonable remarks under the guise of freedom of speech, the press and assembly to distort and smear the lawful enforcement actions of the police”. It strongly opposed and condemned the remarks.
警方在昨日（6月4日），在維園及銅鑼灣一帶拘捕1人，「帶走」23人，包括表示正進行採訪的記協前主席麥燕庭，聯合國人權事務高級專員辦事處和香港記者協會分別發聲明批評。保安局今日發聲明，稱包括上述兩個組織「假借言論、新聞和集會自由之名對警方合法執法行動作出顛倒是非和污衊抹黑的無理言論」，強烈反對及予以譴責。

港府代表出席聯合國會議 指警19年干犯「性別暴力行為」說法毫無根據
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women held a meeting on Friday. Speaking at the meeting, Lam Suet-lei, Permanent Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, said claims submitted by some non-governmental organisations that police committed “acts of gender-based violence” during the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement were based on false information and were entirely unfounded. The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre rebutted that the “incorrect comments” referred to by Lam were all supported by facts, and said the Hong Kong government was attempting to undermine the credibility of civil society organisations.
聯合國「消除對婦女歧視委員會」周五舉行會議，民政及青年事務局常任秘書長林雪麗發言時指，有非政府組織作向委員會提交不實信息，指警方在2019年反修例運動中作出「基於性別的暴力行為」的說法毫無根據。香港人權資訊中心反駁指，林所說的「錯誤評論」均有事實依據，認為港府嘗試打撃公民團體的可信性。
