鄧炳強指許智峯勸不投票「做法惡毒」 轉載相關信息亦有機會違法
Secretary for Security Chris Tang said on Tuesday that urging people not to vote or to cast blank ballots, colluding with foreign forces to manipulate or influence elections, and having any seditious intent are illegal. After attending an event today (the 30th), he raised the issue of wanted former Legislative Council member Ted Hui urging people online not to vote, describing the move as “vicious”. He reiterated that such conduct, or reposting related information, could violate the Election Ordinance and the National Security Law. Asked why the National Security Department and police had made arrests and brought charges in “anti-extradition” cases six years later, Tang said that regardless of how long the people involved had been away, they could be arrested and charged once sufficient evidence had been obtained, and that there was no time limit.
Tang said Hui “tells others to charge while he himself gets away”, and had been wanted for allegedly violating the National Security Law and the Election Ordinance. He described Hui’s continued online calls for people not to vote as “extremely vicious”, saying: “You broke the law yourself and are wanted—that is your business. You still want others to break the law like you.” He condemned the conduct and called on members of the public not to repost the relevant material, saying this could violate the Election Ordinance and, because it involved collusion with foreign forces in an attempt to influence or manipulate elections, the National Security Law.
Asked why the National Security Department or police had needed six years to investigate the recent new “anti-extradition” cases, and whether the authorities had waited until the verdict in the “92-signature” case before taking enforcement action, Tang said only: “If you have broken the law, particularly in cases involving threats to national security or incitement to violence, no matter how long you have absconded or been away, once we have sufficient evidence, we will arrest you.” He said the relevant cases were not subject to any time limit.
保安局長鄧炳強周二表示勸人不投票或投白票、勾結外國勢力從而操縱並影響選舉、及有任何煽動意圖屬違法。他今日（30日）在出席一個活動後，主動提到正被通緝的前立法會議員許智峯在網上勸人不投票，指做法「惡毒」，重申上述行為或轉載相關信息有機會違反《選舉條例》及《國安法》。他又被問到為何國安處及警方為何時隔6年再就「反修例」案件作出拘捕及落案起訴，鄧炳強僅稱不論涉案人士離開了多久，只要掌握到足夠證據就能作拘捕及起訴，並無時限。
鄧炳強指許智峯「叫人衝，自己鬆」，曾因違反國安法及《選舉條例》被通緝，認為其近日繼續在網上勸人不要投票一舉「非常惡毒」，稱「你自己違法被人通緝，是你的事，你還想別人跟你一樣犯法。」他予以譴責，並呼籲市民不要轉載相關媒體，指此舉或會違反《選舉條例》，以及因涉及勾結外國勢力從而希望影響或操控選舉，違反國安法。
他被問到為何國安處或警方需時6年調查近日的「反修例」新案、以及當局是否待「九十二籤」案裁決後才執法。鄧炳強僅稱「你違了法，特別是危害國家安全或者（涉及）一些煽動暴力的案件，無論你潛逃了多久、離開了多久，只要我們掌握到足夠證據，就會將你拘捕」，指相關案件並無時限。

許智峯、鍾翰林獲澳英批出庇護 陳國基召見兩國駐港總領事表示強烈不滿
Former Legislative Council member Ted Hui, who is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a bounty offered, said last Saturday that he, his wife, children and parents had been granted protection status by Australia. Tony Chung, who is also wanted with a bounty offered, said the following Sunday that the UK Home Office had confirmed his refugee status. The Hong Kong government expressed strong opposition. On Monday, Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki summoned Australian Consul-General Wai Ka-fung and British Consul-General Tai Wai-sun, voicing serious opposition to any country sheltering criminals in any form and strong dissatisfaction with conduct that sheltered criminals under any pretext. He condemned the conduct of the two countries as utterly trampling on the principles of the rule of law and violating its spirit, saying it was not conducive to relations between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the governments of the two countries.
被港府懸紅通緝的前立法會議員許智峯，他上周六表示其和太太、兒女及父母已獲澳洲批出庇護身份；同被懸紅通緝的鍾翰林在上周日亦表示，獲英國內政部確認難民身份。港府表示強烈反對，政務司司長陳國基昨日更召見澳洲駐港總領事韋嘉鋒及英國駐港總領事戴偉紳，嚴正反對任何國家以任何形式包庇罪犯，並對以任何藉口包庇罪犯的行徑表示強烈不滿，斥兩國該行徑是徹徹底底地踐踏法治原則和違反法治精神，絕不利香港特區和兩地政府的關係。

國安時代｜許智峯任建峰受滋擾上升到外長層次 澳洲外長黃英賢當面向王毅表不滿 人權觀察指區錦新是葡萄牙公民促澳門無條件放人
Former Hong Kong Democratic Party legislator Hui Chi-fung, who is wanted by the Hong Kong government with a HK$1 million bounty, and Yam Kin-fung, former convenor of the Progressive Lawyers Group, have continued speaking out for Hong Kong in Australia. In March this year, they were subjected to various forms of cross-border repression believed to have originated from China and Hong Kong. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong had already stated that this was completely unacceptable and that she would make representations to China and Hong Kong. During her attendance at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and related meetings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last month, she met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and reportedly expressed her dissatisfaction to him in person over the harassment faced by Hui and Yam.
Meanwhile, veteran Macau pro-democracy figure and former Legislative Assembly member Au Kam-san was arrested and detained by Macau national security police last Wednesday (30 July) over alleged violations of “Macao Article 23” and the National Security Law. He has been detained for more than a week and has still not been released. Condemnations and expressions of concern from the international community have continued to mount. The international human rights organisation Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday (the 6th) that Au is a Portuguese citizen, criticising the actions as reflecting the spread, under Chinese President Xi Jinping, of the suppression of dissent from China to Hong Kong and Macau. Wang Songlian, Human Rights Watch’s deputy China director, urged the Macau government to release Au Kam-san immediately and unconditionally.
遭港府懸賞100萬港元通緝的前香港民主黨立法會議員許智峯以及前法政匯思召集人任建峰在澳洲持續為香港發聲，今年3月受到相信來自中港兩地不同形式的跨境打壓。澳洲外長黃英賢早已表明完全不可接受，將向中港提出交涉。她上月在馬來西亞吉隆坡出席東盟外長及相關會議期間，與中國外長王毅會晤，據報當面就許、任兩人受到的滋擾，向王毅表達不滿。
另一方面，澳門資深民主派、前立法會議員區錦新被指涉嫌違反「澳門23條」、《維護國家安全法》上周三（7月30日）被澳門國安警拘捕、扣押逾一星期，仍未獲釋。國際社會譴責、關注聲浪一波接一波。國際人權組織「人權觀察」周三（6日）表示，區是葡萄牙公民，批評有做法反映中國國家主席習近平治下壓制異見的行動已由中國蔓延至香港和澳門，人權觀察中國事務副主任王松蓮促請澳門政府立即無條件釋放區錦新。

跨境鎮壓升級｜許智峯澳洲律師樓收舉報信 空郵寄自香港 澳洲外長稱將向中方交涉
The Australian law firm where exiled former Hong Kong Democratic Party legislator Ted Hui works recently received a tip-off letter sent from Hong Kong, stating that a reward could be obtained for handing information about him to the Hong Kong police. It specifically said that people reporting Hui’s parents or relatives could likewise receive a reward. Hui stressed that he was not intimidated and would continue speaking out for freedom in Hong Kong. He said the Australian Federal Police had told him it would do its utmost to protect the personal safety of him and his family. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the conduct threatened Australia’s national sovereignty and that she would raise the matter with the Chinese side.

許智峯、妻子及母親在港財產被沒收 政府：法庭依法採取行動
Wanted former Legislative Council member Hui Chi-fung posted a High Court confiscation order yesterday, saying that the authorities had confiscated assets in Hong Kong belonging to him, his wife and his mother, including trust money deposited with a law firm as a plaintiff in a civil case. He called the action “absurd in the extreme” and an unequivocal human rights violation, saying it was intended to target those who continued to speak out for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong and constituted political retaliation for his international advocacy work. The HKSAR Government issued a statement last night rejecting the claims, saying the action involved the lawful confiscation of the proceeds of crime of people who had absconded after endangering national security. It said nearly 2.5 million had been transferred by Hui to his mother and wife before he fled Hong Kong, and could be confiscated in accordance with the law.
被通緝的前立法會議員許智峯，昨日貼出高院的財產沒收令，指他、妻子及母親在港的財產被當局沒收，當中包括作為民事案件提告人存放於律師樓的 trust money，指行動荒謬絕倫，是不折不扣的侵犯人權行為，旨在打擊仍在為香港民主與自由發聲的人，對他的國際倡議工作進行政治報復。特區政府昨晚發聲明反駁，指是依法沒收危害國家安全潛逃者的犯罪得益，稱許智峯在潛逃離港前，將近250萬轉贈其母親及妻子，依法可予沒收。

許智峯遭頒令破產 破產管理署申「不開始令」獲批 許破產結束時間延後
Hui Chi-fung, a former Legislative Council member who announced in 2020 that he was going into exile overseas and is wanted by the authorities, failed to pay legal costs in connection with lawsuits brought over multiple anti-extradition amendment incidents and a conviction for contempt of court. The Department of Justice therefore filed a bankruptcy petition against him. The High Court ordered Hui bankrupt in February this year and on Monday (23rd) granted the Official Receiver’s Office a non-commencement order, meaning that the period of Hui’s bankruptcy has not officially begun to run.
Generally, for a first-time bankrupt, the bankruptcy period runs from the date the bankruptcy order takes effect and the bankruptcy is automatically discharged after four years (Legal 101 article). Under the Bankruptcy Ordinance, if a bankrupt person fails to attend an initial meeting specified by the trustee or fails to provide relevant information about assets and other matters, the trustee may apply for a non-commencement order. This suspends the running of the bankruptcy period, thereby postponing the date of automatic discharge until the bankrupt person complies with the relevant requirements.
2020 年宣布流亡海外、正被通緝的立法會前議員許智峯，未有就多宗反修例事件入稟興訟、藐視法庭罪成支付訟費，遭律政司入稟申請破產。高院今年 2 月頒令許智峯破產，並於周一（23 日）就破產管理署申請批出「不開始令」，意指許的破產期未正式開始計算。
一般而言，首次破產人士的破產期由破產令生效當日起計，4 年後自動解除（法律 101 文章）。按《破產條例》若破產人沒出席受託人指明的初次會面，或沒提供相關財產等資料，受託人有權申請「不開始令」，即暫停計算破產期，自動解除破產日期因而延後，直至破產人遵守相關條款。

外媒指許智峯無法提取數十萬元強積金 積金局：不回應個別個案
The Guardian reported on Monday (22nd) that former Legislative Council member Ted Hui, who is wanted by the police’s National Security Department, was unable to withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars from his Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF). In response to media enquiries, the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority said it would not comment on individual cases.
The Guardian quoted Hui as saying that his MPF, worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, remains in a pension scheme managed by HSBC. The report also said that, besides Hui, another pro-democracy figure with Australian permanent residency was unable to withdraw more than HK$600,000 from a Manulife account. The pro-democracy figure was told in March this year that the account was under investigation and that the application could not be processed.
英國《衛報》周一（22日）報導，被警方國安處通緝的前立法會議員許智峯，無法提取其數十萬元強積金。積金局回覆傳媒查詢時稱，不會就個別個案回應。
《衛報》引述許智峯指，其價值數十萬港元的強積金至今仍在由滙豐管理的退休金計劃中。報導又指，除了許智峯，另有一名有澳洲永久居留權的民主派人士未能提取宏利人壽帳戶中逾60萬元的強積金；該民主派人士在今年3月被告知，其戶口正被調查，因此無法處理申請。

許智峯、任建峰加入澳洲政黨 鼓勵離散港人積極參政 發揮影響力
Hongkonger in exile in Australia and former Legislative Council member Hui Chi-fung said on social media today (the 24th) that he had recently joined the Liberal Party of Australia. He and Yam Kin-fung issued a joint statement saying they hoped to use their participation in a political party to bring the voices of Hongkongers who had moved to Australia into mainstream political parties and fight for their rights, while also encouraging Hongkongers in Australia to actively participate in party politics. The two stressed that they did not expect to achieve personal success in Australian politics, but wanted to create a “leading effect” by encouraging Hongkongers who had moved around the world to actively participate in politics in their countries of residence and use their love of democracy to exert Hongkongers’ influence.
流亡澳洲港人、前立法會議員許智峯今（24日）於社交媒體透露，近日加入了澳洲自由黨，他跟任建峰發表共同聲明，指希望能藉參與政黨，把移澳港人的聲音帶入主流政黨並為港人爭取權益，同時亦想鼓勵澳洲港人踴躍參與政黨政治。二人強調自己並不期望能在澳洲政壇有個人作為，而是想做「帶頭效應」鼓勵移居世界各地的港人於所在國家積極參政，以熱愛民主之心發揮港人的影響力。

許智峯網上「開全名」特區政府：強烈譴責恫嚇司法及政府人員
The Department of Justice issued a press release on Saturday (March 2) clarifying that a prosecution officer who had recently left the department was said online to be on a so-called sanctions list that a US congress member threatened to create on November 1 last year. It reiterated that the officer had resigned in September last year. Hui Chi-fung, the wanted former Legislative Council member, named in full on social media yesterday 19 judicial and government personnel who had participated in his four cases. The HKSAR Government issued a statement today strongly condemning fugitive Hui for intimidating judicial officers and government personnel in Hong Kong, saying that his conduct involved multiple offences, including the offence of colluding with foreign or external forces to endanger national security under Article 29 of the National Security Law.
律政司周六（3月2日）發新聞稿，澄清網上流傳一名律政司檢控人員近日離職，指其屬在美國國會議員去年11月1日「威脅作出所謂制裁名單」上，重申該名人員去年9月已請辭。被通緝的前立法會議員許智峯，昨日在社交媒體就曾參與他四宗案件的19名司法及政府人員「開全名」。特區政府今日發稿「強烈譴責逃犯許智峯恫嚇香港特區司法人員和政府人員」，指許的行為涉多項罪行，包括《港區國安法》第29條「勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全罪」。

許智峯遭頒令破產 兼須支付訟費 許曾聲言對生活、財政「毫無影響」
Former Legislative Council member Ted Hui, who announced in 2020 that he was going into exile overseas and is wanted by the authorities, was the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed by the Department of Justice in the High Court in November 2023. The case was heard in the High Court on Tuesday (6th), with neither Hui nor the Department of Justice represented in court.
Master Yu Kai-chiu said all the Department of Justice’s documents had been served and that Hui had not responded. He therefore ordered Hui to be declared bankrupt with immediate effect and to pay the legal costs. In response, the Department of Justice confirmed that the bankruptcy petition was related to Hui’s failure to pay legal costs, and said it would continue to pursue the relevant amount in accordance with the law, declining further comment.
According to information reviewed, Hui said on his personal Facebook page at the end of 2023 that he was in Australia and had been admitted as a lawyer by an Australian court. Regarding the Department of Justice’s bankruptcy petition, Hui said bankruptcy proceedings in Hong Kong would have “no impact whatsoever” on his life or finances in Australia.
2020 年宣布流亡海外、正被通緝的立法會前議員許智峯，2023 年 11 月被律政司入稟高等法院作破產呈請。案件周二（6 日）在高院聆訊，許智峯及律政司雙方都沒派代表到場。
聆案官余啟肇指，律政司所有文件已送達，對方沒回應，故頒令許即時破產，並須付訟費。律政司回覆時確認，破產呈請與許未支付訟費有關，又指將依法繼續追討有關款項，不作其他評論。
翻查資料，許智峯 2023 年底在個人 Facebook 專頁提及身在澳洲，並獲澳洲法庭認許為律師。對於律政司的破產呈請，許稱在港的破產申請對其澳洲生活、財政「毫無影響」。
