French Footballer Griezmann cuts ties with #Huawei citing fears over treatment of #Uighurs

//The France and Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann ended his affiliation with Huawei on Dec 10, 202p, saying there are “strong suspicions” that the Chinese tech giant has contributed to the repression of the mostly Muslim minority Uighurs.

Griezmann’s announcement followed media reports that Huawei has tested facial recognition software intended to help China’s surveillance of the group.

“Following strong suspicions that the Huawei company has contributed to the development of a ‘Uighur alert’ thanks to facial recognition software, I am announcing the immediate termination of my partnership with the company,” Griezmann said in an Instagram post.

“I take this opportunity to invite Huawei to not just deny these accusations, but to take concrete actions as quickly as possible to condemn this mass repression, and to use its influence to contribute to the respect of human and women’s rights in society.”//

The HK Government to Earn At Least HKD1.443 million of Fine from Civilians Ticketed by the Police

As of Dec 6, 2020, the Hong Kong Government issued over 7,217 fine tickets to the local population, which amounted to over 1.443 million HKD.

The Hong Kong Police issued 99.3% of these tickets and prosecuted 56 cases. The remaining 54 tickets were issued by the Food and Health Bureau.

With the coronavirus outbreak, the Hong Kong government implemented “group gathering restriction” since 29 March, 2020.

However, the fixed penalty of HKD2,000 will expire on 11 December, 2020, meaning that the authorities will possibly increase the penalty to HKD5,000 per ticket.
