回應宏福苑火災聯署發起人被捕事件
On November 29, the petition organiser and Chinese University of Hong Kong student Kwan Ching Fung Miles (Miles) was arrested by the Police National Security Department on suspicion of sedition. The arrest was suspected to be related to a petition initiated by Kwan Ching Fung Miles entitled “Tai Po Wang Fuk Court Fire Concern Group”. The petition put forward four demands: continued support for affected residents; the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry; a review of the construction regulatory system; and full investigation into regulatory negligence and accountability for government officials. Before the arrest, the petition had received more than 10,000 signatures. The concern group’s social media page and petition post were closed after Kwan Ching Fung Miles was arrested.
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre issued the following response to the arrest of petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles:
“The national security police’s arrest of the petition organiser once again highlights the Hong Kong government’s abuse of the sedition offence to suppress peaceful and legitimate expression of opinion. This arrest completely violates the protection of freedom of speech and expression under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (the ‘Covenant’), infringing fundamental human rights in the name of national security.
The demands put forward by petition organiser Kwan Ching Fung Miles—protecting the rights and interests of disaster victims, finding out the truth about the fire, and improving public safety—are all reasonable civic opinions and are fully protected by the Covenant, with absolutely no connection to endangering national security. The authorities’ arrest of a citizen on this basis reflects that current law enforcement has already treated normal expression of concern about disasters and the public interest as a crime.”
11月29日，聯署發起人、中大學生關靖豐（Miles），被警察國安處以煽動罪拘捕。有關的拘捕，懷疑是因關靖豐發起「大埔宏福苑火災關注組」聯署有關。該聯署提出四項訴求：持續支援受災居民、成立獨立調查委員會、重新審視工程監管制度，以及全力追究監管疏忽並問責政府官員。截至被捕前，聯署已獲逾萬人簽署。關注組的社交媒體專頁及聯署帖文在關靖豐被捕後，已經關閉。
香港人權資訊中心就聯署發起人關靖豐被捕一事作出以下回應：
「國安警拘捕聯署發起人，再次突顯港府濫用《煽動罪》打壓和平及正當的意見表達。今次的拘捕完全違反《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》（《公約》）對言論及表達自由的保障，以國家安全之名侵害基本人權。
聯署發起人關靖豐提出的訴求——保障災民權益、查明火災真相、改善公共安全——均屬於合理的公民意見，完全受《公約》所保障，與危害國家安全毫無關聯。當局以此為由拘捕公民，反映現行執法已將關注災難與公共利益的正常表達視為犯罪。

六四 36｜盤點過去五年 最少 67人涉悼六四被捕 涉煽動意圖、行為不檢等
This year marks the 36th anniversary of June 4, and Victoria Park has gone six consecutive years without a candlelight vigil organised by the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China. Chief Executive John Lee said yesterday (3 June) that any unlawful acts would be dealt with decisively and strictly in accordance with the law, and that legal responsibility for acts endangering national security would be pursued to the fullest extent. The Collective Memory reviewed the number of arrests and prosecutions related to June 4 over the past five years. At least 67 people were arrested or charged in connection with June 4-related activities, involving inciting and participating in an unauthorised assembly, sedition and obstructing police officers in the execution of their duty. More than 30 people were also taken away over alleged breaches of the peace.
What conduct constitutes a criminal offence? A performance artist commemorating June 4 was arrested for disorderly conduct in a public place; another person was arrested on a sedition charge for silently displaying words of commemoration. A mainland student who planned to display a vertical banner of the “Pillar of Shame” on June 4 was convicted of attempted sedition, deported after serving the sentence and lost contact with family and friends. In addition, seven members of the Hong Kong Alliance were charged with failing to provide information and inciting subversion of state power. Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho have to date been deprived of their freedom for more than 1,360 days and 1,150 days.
今年是六四 36 年，維園連續第六年沒有支聯會的燭光集會。特首李家超昨（3日）表示，對任何違法行為，會果斷嚴格依法處理，對危害國家安全行為會追究法律責任到底。《集誌社》盤點過去五年六四的拘控數字，針對六四相關活動，至少有 67 人被捕或被控，涉及煽惑及參與未經批准集結、煽動、阻差辦公等，也有逾 30 人被指涉破壞社會安寧被帶走。
什麼行為會構成罪行？有悼念六四的行為藝術家，被警方以公眾地方行為不檢拘捕；有人靜默展示悼念字句，被以煽動罪拘捕；也有內地生擬在六四展示「國殤之柱」直幡，被控企圖煽動罪成，刑滿後遭遣返、與親友失聯。此外，支聯會七人被控拒交資料及煽動顛覆國家政權，鄒幸彤、李卓人、何俊仁至今已失自由逾 1,360 日及 1,150 日。

8.25葵涌｜男子事隔逾4年被控串謀暴動等 控方指今年初才發現被告
The Tsuen Wan-Kwai Tsing march on 25 August 2019 had initially been issued a letter of no objection by police, but police later dispersed people who blocked roads. A 39-year-old man was charged with conspiracy to riot and other offences four years and four months later. The case was mentioned again at the District Court on Tuesday (23rd). Of the nine defendants in a separate case arising from the same incident referred to in the charge sheet, seven have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced, while the remaining two have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial in March. The prosecution told the court that “the defendant in this case was only located in 2024 … and was arrested on 2 January 2024”, and said it was considering handling this case together with that of the two defendants who have pleaded not guilty.
The defendant, who appeared in person, said that because of the limited time available, he had not yet submitted all the documents required for his legal aid application. Judge Chung Ping Pang adjourned the case to 6 February for further mention, pending the defendant’s legal aid application. The defendant was allowed to remain on bail under the existing conditions.
2019 年 8 月 25 日 的「荃葵青遊行」原獲警方發出不反對通知書，及後有人堵路遭警方驅散。一名 39 歲男子事隔 4 年 4 個月後，被控串謀暴動等罪，案件周二（23 日）在區院再訊。
就控罪書提及同一事件、另案的 9 名被告，7 人已經認罪判刑，2 人則不認罪待 3 月開審。控方透露，「本案被告係 2024 年先被發現 … 2024 年 1 月 2 日被捕」，現考慮將本案與不認罪 2 人的案件一併處理。
親自應訊的被告指，由於時間匆忙，尚未交齊申請法援的文件。法官彭中屏批准押後至 2 月 6 日提訊，待被告申請法援。被告准以原有條件保釋。
