香港:两名涉嫌藏有「煽动」儿童读物被捕Hong Kong: two arrested for possessing ‘seditious’ children’s book
据《明报》报道,这些出版物是从英国寄往香港的,是2019年动乱时香港人像羊一样试图保护自己的村庄免受狼的侵害的连环画儿童书籍的几本。
明报周三援引警方的话说，两人已被保释，但下个月必须向警方报案。
2022年,五名语言治疗师因涉嫌”策划出版、发行、展示三本具有煽动性意图的书”,被判处有期徒刑19个月,被法院判决为煽动性。
警方当时警告家长销毁这些书，因为他们”太激进，灌输给孩子们思想，使他们无法对抗和反对政府”。
The Chinese-language Mingpao newspaper reported that the publications were sent from Britain to Hong Kong and were several copies of illustrated children’s books in a series that portrayed Hongkongers during the 2019 unrest as sheep trying to defend their village from wolves, an apparent reference to the mainland Chinese authorities.
The pair have been released on bail but must report to police next month, Mingpao quoted police as saying on Wednesday.
The books were ruled by a court as seditious in a high-profile trial in 2022, in which five speech therapists were jailed for 19 months for “conspiring to publish, distribute and display three books with seditious intent”.
Police warned parents at the time to destroy the books because they were “too radical and instilled in children the ideas to confront and oppose the government”.

Three organisers jailed over Hong Kong vigil for Tiananmen Square victims 三名组织者因香港为天安门广场受害者守夜而入狱
Chow Hang-tung, Tang Ngok-kwan and Tsui Hon-kwong were jailed for failing to comply with a national security law.
— Read on www.newschainonline.com/news/world-news/three-organisers-jailed-over-hong-kong-vigil-for-tiananmen-square-victims-325159The three were arrested in 2021 during a crackdown on the city’s pro-democracy movement following massive protests more than three years ago. They were leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and were found guilty last week. The alliance was best known for organising candlelight vigils in Hong Kong on the anniversary of the Chinese military’s crushing of Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in 1989, but it voted to disband in 2021 under the shadow of the Beijing-imposed national security law. Supporters say its closure has shown freedoms and autonomy that were promised when Hong Kong returned to China from the UK in 1997 are diminishing.Before its disbandment, police sought details about its operations and finances in connection with alleged links to democracy groups overseas, accusing it of being a foreign agent. 这三人是在3年前大规模示威后,在2021年镇压城市民主化运动时被逮捕的。 他们是香港支持中国爱国民主运动联盟的领导人，上周被判有罪。1989年中国军队镇压天安门民主抗议活动周年纪念日，该联盟在香港组织烛光集会最为著名，但在2021年北京颁布的国家安全法的阴影下投票解散。支持者说，关闭该机场表明，1997年香港从英国返回中国时所承诺的自由和自治正在减少。在解散前，警方要求提供与据称与海外民主团体有联系的有关其业务和财政方面的细节，指控它是一个外国特工。

The decline of Hong Kong’s press freedom under the national security law
https://hongkongfp.com/2022/12/10/explainer-the-decline-of-hong-kongs-press-freedom-under-the-national-security-law/
Happened in Hong Kong Only in December, 2022
December 2022
The national security trial of pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai was adjourned on its scheduled starting date until December 13 as Hong Kong waits for Beijing to “clarify” the law as to whether overseas lawyers are allowed to appear in such cases.
Defendants charged under the national security law could be sent to mainland China for trial if they cannot find a lawyer in Hong Kong, the city’s top delegate to Beijing’s advisory body said.
US-based NGO Human Rights Watch announced it would co-host the Human Rights Press Awards after Hong Kong’s Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) cancelled the event earlier this year.
Jimmy Lai, the founder of defunct pro-democracy tabloid Apple Daily, was sentenced to five years and nine months in jail after being convicted of fraud.
The jailing of pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai over fraud charges “has nothing to do with freedom of the press or freedom of speech,” the Hong Kong government said, following criticism from the US.
Chung Pui-kuen, a former top editor of Hong Kong news outlet Stand News facing sedition charges was granted bail after spending almost a year in custody pending trial.
The national security trial against Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai was adjourned until September 25, 2023.
Proceedings against former editors of independent outlet Stand News were “unfair” and “not transparent,” the defence argued, as the court sought to rule on whether the discovery of previously undisclosed evidence was grounds to terminate the trial.
An additional six articles published by the shuttered independent media outlet Stand News were flagged by the prosecution for potentially violating Hong Kong’s colonial-era sedition law.2022年12月
由于香港正等待北京”澄清”有关是否允许海外律师出庭的法律，民主派媒体大亨赖智晟的国家安全审判原定于12月13日休庭。
北京咨询机构首席代表说，根据国家安全法被起诉的被告如果在香港找不到律师，将被送往中国大陆受审。
香港外国记者俱乐部(FCC)今年早些时候取消人权新闻奖后,总部设在美国的非政府组织人权观察宣布将共同主办该奖项。
已故民运小报《苹果日报》的创办人赖昌星因欺诈罪被判处五年零九个月监禁。
在受到美国批评后，香港政府表示，民主派媒体大亨赖昌星因涉嫌欺诈罪而被关进监狱”与新闻自由和言论自由无关”。
曾任香港《立报》主编的钟沛权因涉嫌煽动叛乱而被保释，此前他被拘留将近一年，等待审判。
对苹果日报创始人赖俊美的国家安全审判延期到2023年9月25日。
辩方辩称，对独立媒体《站立新闻》的前编辑提出的诉讼”不公平”和”不透明”，因为法院试图裁定发现以前未披露的证据是否是终止审判的理由。
被关闭的独立媒体Stand News发表的另外六篇文章被检方标记为可能违反香港殖民时代的煽动叛乱法。 -

Reading Hong Kongers form 170-person long human chain in town centre protest Protestors lined the streets of Reading on Sunday following an incident outside the Chinese consulate in Manchester
阅读香港人在市中心形成170人长链抗议

Around 170 protesters formed a human chain in Reading town centre on Sunday, October 23. Reading Hong Kongers from the group Reading UK Stands with Hong Kong took to Broad Street to protest against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Many Hongkongers fled their country in 2021 and arrived in the UK – which ruled the colony until it was handed back to the People’s Republic of China in 1997. Recently, protestors were allegedly assaulted outside the Chinese Consulate in Manchester and this led to Hongkongers in Reading and other parts of the country banding together to demonstrate against this.
10月23日星期日，大约170名抗议者在雷丁镇中心形成了一条人链。 “读英港立场”小组的香港人前往布罗德街抗议中国共产党。许多香港人于2021年逃离祖国，来到英国，英国统治殖民地直到1997年归还中华人民共和国。 最近，中国驻曼彻斯特领事馆外发生抗议者袭击事件，导致香港人在雷丁及全国各地集会抗议。

然后我意识到，随着我的成长，我在学校和祖父母的教导下，讨厌日本人，因为我们需要“记住我们祖先的牺牲” 尽管现在听起来很荒谬，但这就是我们所做的.有一个很常见的俚语，“鬼子”，指的是日本人。这很难翻译，但在上下文中，它的意思类似于“隐秘的混蛋”。真正热爱日本文化的人会因为穿着传统的日本服装等而在社交媒体上被取消。
还有无数其他的例子，我看到很多人谈论他们永远不会访问某些国家，因为那里有太多的黑人会抢劫他们（如果你仔细想想，这很讽刺）。
好吧，我什至不知道该说什么。我不禁感到惭愧。
