Simon Shen on IPCC Effectiveness and Credibility
(11 Nov)
1. In Sep 2019, IPCC said "International Expert Panel will first examine the restructuring of the task force and the work of identifying the facts. It will focus on the work in the 2nd and 3rd phrases, which are evaluating of the policing measures and providing recommendations. "
Cheung Wah-fung, deputy Chairman of IPCC, said" the 5 board members of International Expert Panel are reputable, experienced and credible, they can improve the work and goodwill. "
2. Nov-2019, Denis O'Connor, Chairman of the Panel, criticised that IPCC was lacking of capacity and independent investigative capability. It must increase its resources and manpower to strengthen its power to obtain evidence for comprehensive investigation.
And Clifford Stott denounced that IPCC lacked investigation authority which matches the scale of the anti-elab protests in order to meet with the international standards and expectations in a society value freedom and rights.
3. Nov-2019, Cheung Wah-fung said "the Overseas Expert Panel may not fully understand the situation in HK, the procedure in investigation or obtaining evidence from police is not difficult"
According to his logic, there are two conclusions
4a. IPCC: When the Panel speaks for freedom and the truth, it lacks experience and credibility
4b. IPCC: When the Panel covers up for police, it understands the situation in HK well

The true Hongkonger - Jeffrey Andrews
Jeffrey Andrews, despite his defeat in the 2020 Hong Kong pro-democracy primaries, earns HongKongers' respect with his courage. As an ethnic minority, he uses Cantonese in his campaign, and withstands pressures from all those minority businessmen who are mostly pro-government.
Hong Kong, claimed to be an international city, still has a long way to go in racial harmony.

🇭🇰🇮🇳 雖然Jeffrey Andrews 在初選以最低票落敗,但他絕對值得大力支持。以少數族裔身份,全程講廣東話參與泛民初選,本身就要非常勇氣,何況香港的南亞裔富商非常親建制,他在自己圈子承受的壓力,不足為外人道。香港作為國際都會,從來不只是華裔的香港,...

Politics Comic Writer Justin Wong Reveals the Main Reason of Emigration
Former Assistant Lecturer at the Academy of Visual Arts at the Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU), as well as a politic comic writer, Justin Wong Chiu Tat, was namely criticised by the Hong Kong Police that his comic on #MingPao in Sep 2021 defamed Junior Police Call. He then apologised for the comic and moved to the UK in the end of that year.
He revealed in #SimonShen interview that his critical point to emigrate was regarding one of his research projects on the protests’ posters, happening after the comic incident. At the time, the seniors in the institution proactively reported it to the National Security Officers, possibly due to the slogans “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” is shown on the poster.
However, HKBU denied reporting him to the officers and stated that they have been protecting the #AcademyFreedom, providing a suitable environment for their students and staff for research, education and learning. They added, the institution should be responsible to ensure on-campus events are complying to the law. With regards to this incident, HKBU mentioned, “the institution did not submit the case to the authority to follow-up.
