LGBT Pride Parade banned first time in 10 years
Every year, the Hong Kong Pride Parade Organizing Committee would organize LGBT marches in Hong Kong Island during the end of the year. Same as the last 9 years, the parade is proposed to take the same route and same regulation from Victoria Park to Edinburgh Square, where an assembly would be held.
However, the parade was banned this year for no reason, causing an outcry from the committee and the LGBT community. Committee members said even though they submitted the proposal in April, the Police Force didn’t give their reply until Mid-October.
And when they asked them for suggestions for the parade in order to ensure that the march can still be held, the Police Force gave vague and indirect answers.
The committee condemned the force for their attitude and neglection of the basic human right for assembly.

“This could be a massive disaster”: What happens if the coronavirus hits China’s internment camps?
(28 Jan) Experts warn that if the Coronavirus hits internment camps in Xinjiang, it could potentially lead to thousands of deaths, as former inmates have reported that the camps are overcrowded and unsanitary. If the virus gains a toehold there, it could spread from person to person all too easily.
“If the virus reaches the camps in Xinjiang, I can’t imagine the authorities are going to make this public knowledge,” said Tim Grose, a China expert at the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. “I just don’t see that happening, especially since they’ve been hellbent on making the camps seem as humane as possible.”
“In China, you often see a large gap between the ways policies are written and the way they’re implemented,” Grose said in reference to the guidelines in the manual about internment camps in Xinjiang.

Rumors of actor Alex Mak was ordered by TVB to stop working due to participation of Hong Kong pro-democracy movement
(14 May)Hong Kong police have been accused of abusing its power and conducting indiscriminate arrests during the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong in 2019, also known as the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement.
So far, nearly 8,000 people have been arrested. Of the arrested, one of them is 26-year-old up-and-coming TV actor Hoi Ching (Alex) Mak, according to Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily. He was reportedly arrested at the end of 2019 after participating in one of the protests.
Mak is employed by local pro-establishment TV station TVB. It is said that TVB has stopped all of Mak’s work following the arrest. Mak was not seen in the promotion of a recently aired TVB show, in which he is one of the actors. Mak decided to return to his hometown in France after being suppressed by the company due to his political views.
Mak was one of the favorite actors of TVB’s top management team, headed by Yee Ling (Virginia) Lok and Wing Shan (Sandy) Yue. Following his arrest, Mak’s dense working schedule was quickly cancelled by TVB.
Mak’s colleagues at TVB were surprised by his sudden departure.
There are reports that TVB has issued a gag order to forbid the few people who are familiar with the matter to say much.
Mak was actively posting promo videos and photos relating to the latest TVB show he participated in before his employer took him out of all promotional work. He disappeared from Instagram for around three months.
Recently, Alex posted a selfie on his social media platform. In the photo, he wore sunglasses without expression. The caption was: "Take a break. Take a look."
Online comments from his fans included: "You left TVB?", " Why you been gone so long?"

17th Day of Hunger Strike
"Cannot survive over there." This was the only thing a former detainee of Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre (CIC) could recall at the first time he was contacted.
An indefinite hunger strike. Just because we want to survive, we want to leave the hellish environment, we want freedom. "The food no good. The food inside like Jelly. No medicine. Only one male doctor there." Being detained indefinitely at CIC is worse than in prison: sleeping with mice, drinking water by scooping it up from dirty buckets, getting Paracetamol only if you get sick or injured, and nothing akin to proper medical treatment... Living in an inhumane prison for months to years, , the detainees can only despair, to the point of self-harming to find a chance for release.
Through hunger strike to show their determination, many protesters have been very weak after a dozen days without food. By the 17th day, many people had written their suicide note: "Today, a detainee was sent to the hospital, and one here has been detained for 4 years. They have prepared for sacrification." Give me freedom, or give me death.
There is no way to know when [the detainees] will be released, it will be several years at least. Moreover, some of them are innocent and have no criminal record. Some even think that coming to Hong Kong, they will be protected by law from inhumane treatment. "At least in India, we can do farming. I miss chapati (Indian scone)." He told me about the good things in his hometown, but when the conversation came back to the situation of CIC again, it was really terrible.
Hunger strikes are not new. "Before many, but Nobody listen". Perhaps we all have too much to take care of in our lives, but some things are more pressing than the rest. A hunger strike every day represents every life's desire for freedom.
"Set them free" We can choose to ignore, but their hunger strike will continue.
For more information, please follow CIC detainees right concern group.

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.”//

Amnesty International Report Describes Xinjiang's Situation as a “Dystopian Hell Landscape"
Amnesty International characterized the Chinese government’s actions against the Turkic Muslim population as a “crime against humanity” on Thursday (10 June). They publish a 160-page report, stating Uyghurs and Muslim minorities in Xinjiang are facing systematic abuse, including the torture tool “tiger chair” that a slight move can lead to great pain to the person in the seat.
Recently, many governments and international organizations accuse China of human rights violations. Among them, Amnesty International has been investigating the Xinjiang issue for years. This report describes the Chinese government's intention to remove Muslim cultures and traditions within the territory by different means. The report also states the government regards Turkic Muslim in the region as “extremists”. The report alleges that since most Xinjiang people are afraid of being imprisoned or badly treated, they stop praying nor following any act of Islam observance, including clothing, retouching and speech. Some locals said to Amnesty International, “We cannot say 'let peace be with you (as-salamu-alaykum)'. The government even ban Koran, prayer mats and other religious products.
The report also quotes evidence from Turkic Muslim that they are detained in Chinese government-called “re-education camps", with abuse by the authority. Turkic Muslim women were even forced to accept the system of sterilization or birth control.

Climate Change Is Not a Reason to Give China a Pass on Human Rights
In a widely-publicized July 8 letter, four dozen American advocacy groups—including the Sunrise Movement and the Union of Concerned Scientists—demanded that President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats reverse their “antagonistic posture” in favor of a more cooperative relationship with Beijing to “combat the climate crisis.” The signatories also attempted to frame the current administration’s China approach as a surrender to pressure on the right that’s counterproductive to global governance as well as responsible for xenophobia against individuals of East and Southeast Asian descent, and therefore “doing nothing to actually support the wellbeing of everyday people in either China or the United States.”

Solitary Confinement in HK Prison: 10 Days for Hugging, 7 Days for Sharing Books; Maximum Above UN Rule
"You stay in bed all day. For seven days straight. You can only go to the toilet, and it's right next to the bed."
Stand News interviewed four former prisoners who had faced solitary confinement in Hong Kong's prisons. In their experience, this punishment was handed out often, and the experience is long and painful. As sleeping pills are not permitted in prisons, they could only take painkillers to help themselves sleep.
In July, news broke that pro-democracy district councilor #TiffanyYuen had endured 10 days of solitary confinement as punishment for hugging a fellow prisoner. Lawyer and chairperson of Hong Kong Alliance #ChowHangTung, who was also in prison at the time, also faced the same punishment for 3 days for sharing postage stamps with other inmates. Others had been penalized for 7 days for exchanging books and photographs, or 3 days for sharing chocolate.
What is the metric for such punishments? According to Correctional Services' response to Stand News: "Any prisoner who commit offenses against prison discipline as described under clause 61 of the Prison Rules [1] will be prosecuted by the Services according to the rules. If a disciplinary hearing determines that the prisoner have violated the rules, then the Services will impose punishments according to clause 63 of the Prison Rules. If the prisoner disagrees with the ruling, they may appeal it according to established procedures."
The prison rules of Hong Kong sets an upper limit for solitary confinement at 28 days. However, according to the United Nations' "Nelson Mandela Rules" - adopted in 2015 and named in honor of the former president of South Africa and activist for human rights, equality, democracy, and peace - prisons should prohibit solitary confinement longer than 15 days.
Furthermore, the UN Committee Against Torture had published a report in 2016, in which the committee expressed concern with the maximum length of solitary confinement in Hong Kong prisons. It also called to attention the rule of "removal from association" - forbidding prisoners from associating with others on vague grounds such as "for the maintenance of good order or discipline or in the interests of a prisoner".
Though the report made several recommendations to Hong Kong for clarifying the rules and bringing the limits of punishments to be closer to the Nelson Mandela Rules, prisoners released this year still reports that solitary confinement remains a common punishment. According to data from Correctional Services, there were 3181 instances of solitary confinement handed out among 14689 prisoners in 2019. This number had been above 3000 every year since 2016.
The Correctional Services did not comment when asked if it had implemented the UN committee's suggestions, and if it would reduce or abolish solitary confinement as a punishment.

UK-Based HongKonger's Groups Criticised pro-Beijing Organisations Cleansing the National Security Law with Human-sea Tactics
The 73rd Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Conference will be held within 2 weeks. UK-based HongKongers organisations found that many pro-Beijing organisations submit reports to this conference, strongly promoting the National Security Law (#NSL). They intended to rationalise the fact of Beijing’s corrosion to the rights in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Scots, a UK-based HongKongers’ organisation, indicated that Beijing utilised Human-sea tactic after being criticised in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights last year to promote the suppression of Hong Kong people in the United Nations. As the submitted content from various groups of people is similar, it is suspected to interfere with the trial of Hong Kong Human Rights in the United Nations, demonstrating “head count takes over the truth with limited evidence”.
