懲教署：至今未就任何探訪施加限制或條件
It was reported yesterday (22 July) that the Correctional Services Department had invoked new legislation to bar a member of the public from visiting an inmate. In a statement issued last night, the department said the visitor was not on the relevant inmate’s registered visitors list and was therefore refused entry. It also said that since the Prison (Amendment) Rules 2025 came into force last Friday, it had never invoked Rule 48 of the Prison Rules to prohibit anyone from making a visit, nor imposed any restrictions or conditions on any visit.
The department reiterated that, under the established mechanism, visitors must be declared visitors on an inmate’s visitors list.
It is understood that the member of the public confirmed on Monday this week that their name was on the visitors list, but was told yesterday when attempting to visit that it was not. A companion who successfully made the visit subsequently asked the inmate about the matter. The inmate said they had not deleted the person’s name and would make further enquiries with the department.
昨日（7月22日）有傳懲教署引用新例，禁止一名公眾人士探訪在囚人士。懲教署昨晚發稿指，該訪客不在相關在囚人士登記探訪名單上，故拒絕其探訪。署方亦指，自《2025年監獄（修訂）規則》上周五生效至今，從未引用《監獄規則》第48條禁止任何人士進行探訪，亦未曾就任何探訪施加限制或條件。
懲教署重申，根據既定機制，探訪者必須是在囚人士探訪名單上的申報訪客。
據了解，該名公眾人士本周一曾確認其名字在探訪名單之上，惟至昨日探訪時，卻獲告知不在名單上，成功探訪的同行者曾向該名在囚人士查詢，對方指未有刪除其名字，將向署方再作了解。

山頂宗教巡遊唯一須貼標記 參與者稱沒意見
Today (April 7) is Good Friday. There were seven processions in Hong Kong today organised by religious groups that had been issued letters of no objection by the police. St Andrew’s Church held an Easter Walk hiking activity at The Peak in the afternoon; it was the only one in which the police required participants to wear identification markers, with about 50 people taking part. Unlike the Good Friday procession in Kwai Chung in the morning, where police officers maintained security along the route, officers in this case only maintained order at the starting point. Some participants said they were unaware that the activity had applied for a letter of no objection and did not know about the requirements listed by police. They said they had no objection to having to wear the markers.
今日（4月7日）為耶穌受難節，本港今日共有7場由宗教團體舉辦、並獲警方發不反對通知書的巡遊。其中聖安德烈堂下午在山頂舉辦復活節「Easter Walk」的行山活動是唯一被警方要求遊行人士須貼上識別標記，約有50人參與。惟有別於上午的葵涌受難節遊行有警員沿途戒備，今次警員只在起點維持秩序。有參與者表示，不清楚活動有申請不反對通知書，亦不知警方所列要求，對於須貼上標記沒有意見。

海濱事務委員會巡遊 有參加者不肯除罩自行離場
The Development Bureau’s Harbourfront Affairs Committee held the “Victoria Harbour Easter Hat Parade 2023” on the north shore of Hong Kong Island this afternoon (2nd). The parade was issued a letter of no objection by the police and was required to comply with the National Security Law for Hong Kong and the Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation.

教堂儀式遊行條件列明需持棕枝、守禁蒙面法 惟信眾指教堂沒有規定、警員沒理會
Participants in a march last Sunday opposing the reclamation of Tseung Kwan O Area 137 were required by police to wear placards around their necks and put up cordons, prompting criticism that the requirements were excessively strict and humiliating. A Palm Sunday religious celebration procession was held at St John’s Cathedral in Central this morning (the 2nd), marking its return after a three-year hiatus because of the pandemic. The police letter of no objection stated that the organiser had to arrange participants to walk in groups, ensure that all participants carried palm branches, and comply with the Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation. In practice, participants did not start in groups, some did not carry palm branches or wore masks, and police officers present neither took action nor issued advice. Some worshippers said the church had imposed no such requirements. The cathedral’s senior pastor Charles Kwok Keung Chan said he was grateful to God that the police had issued the letter of no objection.
上周日反對將軍澳137區填海遊行參加者被警方要求掛頸牌及拉封鎖線，遭批評要求嚴苛和具侮辱性。中環聖約翰座堂今（2日）早舉行「棕枝主日」宗教慶典巡行，是疫情後相隔三年復辦。警方不反對通知書條件列明，主辦方須分組行、確保所有參加者手持棕枝，及遵守《禁蒙面法》，惟實際遊行時沒有分組起步，部分人沒有手持棕枝或有佩戴口罩，在場警員未有理會或作出勸喻，有信眾表示教堂沒有任何規定。聖約翰座堂主任牧師陳國強則表示，感謝上帝讓警方批出不反對通知書。
