中共正侵略全球 – 第三彈
CCP is invading the world – Episode 3
上一集提及壹傳媒被港共凍結資產導致被除牌，其實壹傳媒創辦人黎智英因為抗共立場被港共冠下大量政治罪。今集會和大家比較一下黎智英近期的判刑與之前同類型案件的分別，突顯現在香港司法不公的現實。
1.非法集結類
黎智英:
-2019 年8 月18 日、8 月31、10 月1 日及10 月20 日集會-- 未經批准集結罪,合共20 個月刑期。
-2020 年6 月4 日集會-- 煽惑他人參與未經批准集結罪,13 個月刑期。
之前同類型案件:
過往有其他議員也曾被控非法集結罪,卻是罰款和社會服務了事。
2. 煽動及勾結外國勢力類
黎智英:
-2020 年12 月 –被起訴《香港國安法》下勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全
罪--該罪行可判處最高無期徒刑（終身監禁）。壹傳媒被凍結資產，蘋果日報於2021年6月24日發行最後一份報紙。
-2021 年12 月--串謀發布煽動刊物罪—等候量刑。
之前同類型案件:
1951年11月末，港英政府首次引用《煽動條例》控告《大公報》刊登煽動性文章。東主兼督印人費彝民及編輯李宗瀛，被罰款3000至4000元或者監禁六個月至九個月，承印人鮑立初則無罪釋放。《大公報》僅停刊12天就能重新復刊。港英政府對《大公報》並沒有趕盡殺絕。
3. 違反地契類
黎智英:
-2022 年12 月--違反地契的欺詐罪--監禁5 年9 個月, 罰款200 萬港元, 取
消擔任公司董事資格8 年。
之前同類型案件:
違反地契最嚴重的後果通常是釘契.在蘋果的控告中,使用欺詐罪刑事控告是第一次, 也是第一次由國安署接管違反地契案件。
蘋果日報遭港共以"陽光司法"不斷打壓, 黎智英面臨終身監禁。請大家SHARE比本地朋友,為還押中的記者同手足發聲，揭示港共摧毀香港司法獨立的真相。

Hong Kong: Tiananmen vigil convictions an affront to human rights and international law
“People should be free to peacefully mourn and remember the victims of the Tiananmen crackdown – and to prosecute people for doing so is an egregious attack on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly.”
CCP is invading the world – Episode 3
In the last episode, we mentioned that Next Digital was seized by the CCP and subsequently delisted from stock market. in fact, CCP is framing Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai with multiple political crimes for his anti-CCP stance.
In this episode, we will highlight the injustice in Hong Kong by comparing Jimmy Lai's recent sentencing with similar cases in the past.
1. "Illegal assembly"
Jimmy Lai:
-Assemblies on 18 August, 31 August, 1 October and 20 October 2019-- "organizing and participating in the unauthorized assembly" -— 20 months of imprisonment.
-Assembly on 4 June 2020 --"inciting others to participate in unauthorized assembly" —- 13 months of imprisonment.
Similar cases in the past:
Offenders (e.g. Some lawmakers) were fined and handed Community Service Orders.
2. " Colluding with foreign countries" and "conspiracy"
Jimmy Lai:
-December 2020 –- "colluding with foreign countries or external elements to endanger national security."— pending trail, up to life imprisonment. Seizure of Next Digital's asset forced AppleDaily to cease operation after publishing its last paper on 24 June 2021.
-December 2021 -- "conspiracy to publish seditious publications" -— pending sentencing.
Similar cases in the past:
In November 1951, the British Hong Kong government first applied the "Sedition Ordinance" to prosecute <Ta Kung Pao> (a pro-CCP news agency) for publishing seditious publications. Director Fei Yi-Ming and editor Li Tsung-Yin were fined HKD $3000 to $4000 and imprisoned for 6 to 9 months, while printer Pao Li-Chor was acquitted. <Ta Kung Pao> was banned from publication for only 12 days. The British Hong Kong government allowed opposition to exist.
3. "Violation of lease"
Jimmy Lai:
-December 2022-- "Fraud" for violation of lease -— 5 years and 9 months imprisonment, HKD $2M fine, and an eight-year disqualification order (for being company director).
This is the first time lease violation being criminalised, and the first time that the Office for Safeguarding National Security handles civil cases.
Similar cases in the past:
Violation of lease was treated as civil cases with penalties such as imposing encumbrances at Land Registry, or re-entry of the lot or vesting of the relevant interest to Government in worst case scenario. The actions taken by Government did not involve prosecution.
Pro-democrats, Entrepreneurs, journalists and civilians are being persecuted by Hong Kong regime with weaponized legal system. Please share with your friends to reveal how CCP is threatening universal values of modern civilization.

“People should be free to peacefully mourn and remember the victims of the Tiananmen crackdown – and to prosecute people for doing so is an egregious attack on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly.”
CCP is invading the world – Episode 4
Previously, we talked about how Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and founder of Next Digital, Jimmy Lai, was persecuted. This time we will share how CCP destroys Hong Kong's press freedom in two years through the lens of Next Digital.
Next Digital's Apple Daily was founded in 1995, and its anti-establishment position was always clear.
Since the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, some businesses have avoided advertising in Apple Daily to avoid irritating CCP.
The anti-establishment stance of Apple Daily was persistent and can be seen in its opposition to the implementation of Article 23 of the Basic Law in 2003, its opposition to the national education curriculum in 2012, its support for the Umbrella Movement in 2014, and its opposition to using Mandarin as Chinese language instruction medium.
According to sources quoted by Bloomberg, during the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019, Apple Daily's prolonged coverage of news detrimental to the Hong Kong regime and its encouragement to Hongkongers to fight for democracy has led the Hong Kong regime to identify Next Digital as an agent of foreign countries and decided to eliminate Next Digital in 2020.
In early 2020, Apple Daily demanded the Hong Kong regime close borders with China to prevent the ingress of COVID-19, supported the medical staff strikes, and continued to oppose the Hong Kong regime until the enactment of the National Security Law. As a result, it led to repeated criticism from Hong Kong and the CCP regime, as well as state-backed medias.
On August 10, 2020, Hong Kong National Security Department (NSD) arrested several Next Digital top officials, more than 200 police raided Next Digital Headquarters. Without presenting any search warrant, they seized a large number of items, including documents protected by confidentiality agreements and journalistic materials.
Afterwards, NSD held a press conference and claimed that Next Digital was suspected of violating National Security Law and was granted a search warrant by the court to carry out arrest and search operations according to the law.
However, according to sources, journalistic materials were not covered in the warrant.
On June 17, 2021, NSD arrested five more Next Digital directors, sent more than 500 police to search Next Digital Headquarters and froze its assets amounting to HK $18 million.
Apple Daily was forced to cease operation at the end of June after its last issue on June 24, 2021.
According to Initium Media, law enforcement only searched newspaper offices twice in Hong Kong's history. The first was during the 1967 riots, where the police searched the office of a leftist press. The second was in 2004 when the Independent Commission Against Corruption searched the offices of eight newspapers, including Oriental Daily and Apple Daily.
As Bloomberg pointed out, "Apple Daily was like the guard at the gate. Once you take the guard out, that's it". Non-establishment media fell one by one, followed Next Digital's steps.
After Next Digital, Stand News and Citizen News were also terminated at the end of 2021 and early January 2022 respectively, in which top officials of Stand News were arrested.
Smaller independent news outlets, such as DB Channel, CLS News, Hong Kong Independent Media News, Factwire etc., were not spared, obviously.
The remaining news outlets with relatively neutral stances, such as Ming Pao, can't publish commentary and even political comics without self-censorship due to the enormous pressure from the Hong Kong regime.
Moreover, journalist organizations such as Hong Kong Journalists Association and The Foreign Correspondents' Club Hong Kong, were forced to suspend press awards amid extreme pressure, clauses in relation to national security were also added to the tenancy agreement of their office. Foreign staffs resigned to show their stance on Hong Kong regime's restriction on press freedom.

【收到匿名投稿：六月風霜凜冽，港人仍在堅持。】
臨近官方不能說的敏感日子，一眾香港人在迷霧裏登山，榮光照亮獅子山頂。
登山者「梁先生」說：「香港數字，記錄歷史。
數字從來紀錄重大歷史事件，讓人們容易回憶起當時發生事情。近年最令全世界印象深刻，應該是911事件。
對於香港人，我們永遠不會忘記8964 。悼念六四事件，成為香港人的回憶及傳承，這些活動不僅是對歷史的回顧，也是對自由和民主價值的堅持。它們提醒我們，對過去的記憶和對未來的希望都是社會進步的重要動力。
自2019年起，數字更成為重要時間點及回憶，有人可能因恐懼避而不談，有人仍然默默藏於心裡… 那些日子心中印記及香港血淋淋歷史，成王敗寇… 縱使歷史如何被竄改，我們這一代，不論是流亡海外或留下來的，都要保存真相。真如我們當初保留六四真相一樣。有幾多日子你還記得？
6月9日、6月12日、6月16日、7月1日、7月21日、8月31日、10月1日…
今時今日的香港，再沒有6月4日，只有5月35日，其他日子稍有不慎，用詞不當都可能惹禍上身。香港人已經沒有「免於恐懼自由」。你害怕，我明白；你恐懼，我理解，只希望香港人於「噤聲」中，仍然記得2019年為何徹夜難眠。一連串日子並非只是數字，而是我們的經歷及真相。當人們懷疑64意義，左膠帶出來所謂「發展民主中國」，其實已蛻變成本土主義，捍衛香港核心價值。
「梁先生」亦寄語大家：
1. *保持冷靜和理性*：政治環境可能變幻莫測，但我們應該保持冷靜，不受情緒左右。理性思考和行動有助於克服恐懼。
2. *建立社區網絡*：與鄰居建立聯繫，互相支持和分享資訊。社區網絡有助於減輕孤獨感和恐懼。
3. *保持身心健康*：運動、冥想和與親朋好友交流，有助於減輕壓力和焦慮。
*免於恐懼的自由*不僅是一個理念，更是我們每個人的追求。讓我們共同努力。歷史其實不斷重覆，從歷史數字上，或許得到一些啟示。我們已經示範了，路要如何走下去，應該由人民決定。」
#無忘2019 #圍爐取暖 #見字飲水 #見攰就唞 #台灣加油
另一位登山者「盧小姐」表示：
「無忘64/ 69/ 612/ 615/ 616 /629/630 ........
這裏禁制遊行集會，就讓遊行集會在世界各地遍地開花。
這裏禁制唱歌，就讓歌曲響遍全球。
榮光早就刻烙在每個香港人心中，
禁制只會令歌曲傳頌更久遠。
GLORY to Hong Kong
前車可鑑，台灣人民請守住民主台灣。
