Amnesty International announced to close their 2 offices in #HK on Oct 31 & at the end of this year. They have come to this conclusion because of #NationalSecurityLaw.
They significantly helped to exposed #HKPoliceBrutality in 2019. With them closing their offices, the #HumanRights will be in jeopardy with 1 less international organization to watch over.

The summit of democracy held by US was surprisingly disappointing. Taiwan representative was being censored when showing a map indicating itself as "open" referring to its openness to civil rights. Many people around the world have questioned the Biden administration for their commitment to defend #HumanRights from #CCPChina. Now, people may be more confused than ever.

A rare statement from UN committee to urge #HKGov to repeal #NationalSecurityLaw. Hopeful, this will be a start for the UN to finally recognize the #HumanRightsViolations committed by #CCP and start taking action.

獲歐洲律師協會頒人權獎 鄒幸彤獄中萬言書答謝:香港的經驗是警示 歐洲律師協會委員會日前(24日)頒發2023年人權獎,予香港的鄒幸彤、中國的許志永及丁家喜。身在獄中的鄒幸彤寫下二萬多次的英文感謝詞,表示「監獄滿是良心犯」。 鄒幸彤指出,現實世界遠非令人愉快的地方,大多數人並不活在正義或接近正義的情況,必須忍受壓迫而非保護他們的法律。她具體地指:「如果憲法賦予某個政黨絕對的領導地位,效忠法律是否代表我們要接受一黨專政?當一條法律經由黑箱作業,突然對群眾實施,你是接受抑或拒絕?當法律明文規定的權利在現實中…

In her heartfelt gratitude, she emphasizes that prisons are filled with conscientious inmates. She sheds light on a harsh reality where justice remains elusive for many, questioning the acceptance of one-party rule and the imposition of laws without transparency. Chow's powerful message serves as a reminder of Hong Kong's struggle.

“The (Hong Kong) prison is full of conscientious inmates” she wrote in her letter.

Dec 18: According to an exclusive investigation by The Washington Post, Andy Li Yu-hin, one of the "12 Hong Kongers," may have been coerced into accusing Jimmy Lai, the founder of Apple Daily. During his detention in China, Li Yu-hin faced torture and harsh conditions. He was forced to sit on a concrete stool for prolonged periods and experienced sleep deprivation. Upon his return to Hong Kong, Li Yu-hin's testimony implicating Jimmy Lai raises concerns about the potential influence and pressure exerted on him. This case sheds light on the ongoing complexities surrounding the 2019 Hong Kong protests. #HongKong #12HongKongers #JimmyLai #AppleDaily #PressFreedom #Coercion #HumanRights #PhotonMedia

Tony Chung: Ex-independence group leader flees Hong Kong, seeks asylum in UK after nat. security jail term https://hongkongfp.com/2023/12/29/tony-chung-ex-independence-group-leader-flees-hong-kong-seeks-asylum-in-uk-after-nat-security-jail-term/
Hong Kong activist Tony Chung, who served time in jail for a national security offense, has fled to the UK seeking political asylum. After completing his jail term, Chung announced his departure on social media, stating that he was unable to return to Hong Kong. He managed to travel to Japan and then flew to the UK. Chung, the former convener of pro-independence group Studentlocalism, was arrested in 2020 under the national security law. He pleaded guilty to inciting secession and money laundering and was sentenced to three years and seven months in jail. Chung's departure follows the trend of pro-democracy figures leaving Hong Kong due to the national security law.

Concerns arise as national security police in Hong Kong regularly meet and question activists, raising issues of intimidation, surveillance, privacy invasion, lack of transparency, financial exploitation, manipulation, and impact on mental well-being. These actions undermine rights and create a climate of fear. #HongKong #Activism #HumanRights

Jan 11: The families of political asylum seekers who have sought refuge outside of Hong Kong are reportedly facing harassment by the Hong Kong police. These individuals, who have fled the city due to political persecution or concerns for their safety, are now witnessing their loved ones being targeted back home. Such harassment not only adds to the distress faced by these families but also raises concerns about the reach and tactics employed by the Hong Kong police. The international community continues to closely monitor the situation and advocate for the protection of human rights and the safety of those seeking political asylum. #HongKongPolice #PoliticalAsylum #HumanRights

Mainland court orders on civil, commercial matters can now be enforced in Hong Kong https://hongkongfp.com/2024/01/29/mainland-court-orders-on-civil-commercial-matters-can-now-be-enforced-in-hong-kong/
Concerns rise as Hong Kong implements a new law allowing enforcement of mainland Chinese court rulings, raising fears about erosion of the city's rule of law and judicial independence. Critics worry about the impact on Hong Kong's legal autonomy and international reputation.

The new law allowing enforcement of mainland Chinese court rulings in Hong Kong has negatively impacted the perception of its judicial system. Concerns about eroding judicial independence, diminished autonomy, uncertainty, and human rights issues have raised doubts about the fairness and independence of Hong Kong's judiciary.

Hong Kong government initiates public consultation on proposed legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law. The consultation covers categories like treason, sedition, espionage, and foreign interference. Three approaches suggested: new national security law, integrating existing crimes, and expanding coverage of current laws. Consultation seeks to enhance legal framework and execution mechanisms for safeguarding national security.

Implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong raises human rights concerns. Freedom of expression, assembly, and association could be restricted. Due process and fair trials may be compromised. Surveillance measures threaten privacy rights. Extradition to mainland China raises fair trial concerns. Balancing national security with human rights is crucial. #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw #HumanRights

卡梅倫: 23條立法不符中英聯合聲明及多項定義模糊 中方批評別有用心虛偽雙標 https://channelchk.com/a/16663 香港《基本法》23條立法諮詢期剛於周三(28日)結束,英國外相卡梅倫(David Cameron)發表聲明,表示香港必須確保國家安全立法符合國際標準,維護《中英聯合聲明》、《基本法》、《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》及《經濟、社會及文化權利國際公約》中規定保障人權和自由的義務。 而港府於1月30日公佈的立法方案並未履行這些義務,將對香港市民行使其權利和自由產生負面影…
UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron criticizes the proposed legislation for Article 23 in Hong Kong, stating it does not comply with the Sino-British Joint Declaration and has vague definitions. He emphasizes the need for national security legislation to meet international standards and uphold human rights and freedoms. The Hong Kong government's current proposal fails to fulfill these obligations and could negatively impact the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong citizens. Cameron urges the government to reconsider the plan and genuinely consult the people of Hong Kong. #Article23 #HongKong #HumanRights
