Chinese Human Rights Defenders released a report titled "Collective Punishment of Families by China and Hong Kong for Suppressing Dissent: If I Disobey, My Family Suffers." It exposes the targeting of families of overseas Hong Kong residents wanted by the government since the implementation of the national security law. Over 500,000 people have left Hong Kong, and Hong Kong police have interrogated 31 family members, detained 23 individuals with connections to wanted individuals, and brought back 5 people for questioning. The report criticizes the use of family ties as evidence, violating the presumption of innocence. #HumanRights #HongKong #Crackdown

Legal expert Johannes Chan Man-mun explains the permanent nature of the "interim" injunction in Hong Kong's protest case, with no avenue for appeal to the Court of Final Appeal. Chan criticizes the court's decision to deny intervention, highlighting the challenges in challenging the ban. He emphasizes the undermining of human rights and suggests legislative action instead of relying on court injunctions. Human rights concerns persist in Hong Kong. #HongKongProtests #LegalRuling #HumanRights

"Unfairly conducted without a jury, the trial of the 47 activists undermines human rights. The active involvement of judges in questioning witnesses raises concerns about the fairness of the proceedings. The absence of a jury denies the defendants the right to a trial by their peers. This highlights the importance of an impartial and independent judicial system to safeguard human rights. The trial's lack of transparency and the judges' extensive intervention warrant scrutiny. The right to a fair trial must be upheld to ensure justice and protect fundamental freedoms. #47ActivistsTrial #UnfairTrial #NoJury #HumanRights #JudicialSystem"
