Hong Kong school for intellectually disabled told to beef up national security education

English
| Education Policy
The Hong Kong Education Bureau has instructed a school for children with severe intellectual disabilities to enhance its national security education following an external review. The school has already established a flag-raising team, and the Bureau noted that students at two schools sang the national anthem too softly. In other developments, former Hong Kong Bar Association chair Paul Harris left Hong Kong after police warned him of potential sedition charges. China has threatened the death penalty for Taiwan independence supporters, and Hong Kong police have charged five men with rioting related to the 2019 protests. Additionally, a Hong Kong man faces sedition charges for graffiti, and the Hong Kong Journalists Association has elected a new executive committee amid political scrutiny. The Hong Kong government is proposing new cybersecurity laws for critical infrastructure, and Japan has imposed sanctions on China-based firms linked to Russia's war in Ukraine.

English
| Pro-Democracy Movement
In Hong Kong, pro-democracy protests have intensified, with demonstrators increasingly targeting the police for alleged excessive force and collusion with organized crime. The protests, initially sparked by a proposed extradition bill, have seen widespread public anger towards both Beijing's influence and the local police force. Incidents of police violence, including the use of tear gas and controversial arrests, have fueled public distrust. Journalists have also reported police aggression, further straining relations. Despite the growing discontent, there is little indication of a change in police tactics, raising concerns about long-term public trust.

Under siege: why Hong Kong’s press remains defiant

English
| Pro-Democracy Movement
Hong Kong's press faces unprecedented challenges under the new national security law, with police raids on media offices, arrests of key figures like Jimmy Lai, and increased scrutiny on foreign journalists. Despite these pressures, the local and international media community remains defiant, rallying around pro-democracy outlets like Apple Daily. The New York Times has relocated part of its operations to Seoul due to the uncertain environment. Local broadcasters face government probes and leadership changes, but public support for press freedom persists, as evidenced by the surge in Next Digital Limited's stock and the rapid sale of Apple Daily's special edition.

Hong Kong hastily adopts new arsenal of security laws against political crimes

English
| National Security
Hong Kong's Legislative Council, under the influence of Beijing, has swiftly passed the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, introducing severe penalties for a range of political crimes. The law, which includes 181 clauses, aims to reinforce the National Security Law imposed in 2020. Despite a brief public consultation period, the bill faced minimal criticism due to the composition of the council, now entirely made up of 'patriotic deputies' loyal to Beijing. The Hong Kong Bar Association and the Hong Kong Journalists' Association managed to secure a minor concession, allowing public interest as a defense.

| National Security
Two Hong Kong journalists, Chung Pui-kuen and Patrick Lam, await the verdict of their sedition trial, which could significantly impact journalism in the city. They face charges under colonial-era sedition laws revived by Beijing's national security laws. The trial, closely watched for its implications on media freedom, has seen the defense argue the lack of evidence for national security threats. The crackdown on Stand News and other independent media has drawn international criticism, highlighting the deteriorating press freedom in Hong Kong. The government continues to tighten sedition laws, raising concerns about further suppression of independent voices.

Hong Kong’s Journalist Associations Call for Protection Under New Security Law
10 Oct 2023

English
| Journalism
Hong Kong's two main journalist associations, the Hong Kong Journalists Association and the Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong, have raised concerns about the proposed expansion of the national security law, known as Article 23. They argue that the law's broad definitions and scope could severely impact press freedom and the ability of journalists to perform their duties without inadvertently breaking the law. The associations have called for a public interest defense clause to protect journalists and emphasized the importance of press freedom for good governance and Hong Kong's status as an international business and media center. The Hong Kong government maintains that the law is necessary for national security and has received broad public support, but journalist associations remain skeptical and worried about potential overreach and lack of clarity in the law's application.
