📜 聲明：11人因涉嫌協助12港人被捕

今早11人因涉嫌「協助罪犯」被警方以《港版國安法》拘捕，據悉與現仍被囚於深圳的12港人有關。被捕人士當中包括現任區議員黃國桐律師、獨立音樂人霍朗齊以及一名烏克蘭人。

香港監察總監羅傑斯對於是次搜捕表示：「北京政府無疑正進一步利用《港版國安法》令異見人士噤聲，近期的濫捕和打壓都證明相關法例並非如北京所言只適用於直接危害國家安全的案例。以12港人案為例，這與所謂國家安全全然沒有關係。

我們再次促請國際社會一同譴責是次搜捕並儘快採取實質措施制裁中共政權。」

📜 Statement：In response to the arrest of 11 individuals

"This latest crackdown makes a mockery of previous claims that the National Security Law would be used sparingly and be applied only to cases with a direct and imminent threat to security"

Today 11 individuals were arrested in Hong Kong under the National Security Law for allegedly helping the 12 Hong Kong youths currently detained in Shenzhen flee Hong Kong.

The group of individuals arrests for “assisting criminals”, include 8 males and 3 females between the ages of 18-72. Among them is the lawyer and current District Councilor Wong Kwok-hung, independent musician Fok Long-chai, and a Ukrainian national.

A source within the National Security Department said that the 11 individuals were accused of sponsoring the fugitives’ attempt to abscond, with the level of funds offered by each of them ranging from a few thousand Hong Kong dollars to tens of thousands. They also are accused of providing “assistance such as introducing middle men to the fugitives, arranging shoreline pickups and providing hiding locations.”

Commenting on the arrests, Hong Kong Watch’s Chief Executive, Benedict Rogers said:

“Today has brought more arrests under the National Security Law and a further crackdown in Hong Kong. Increasingly it is clear that Beijing intends to use this draconian law as a blunt tool to crush dissent, where the hiring of a boat, the providing of accommodation, and the offering of free legal advice is now punishable to a minimum of ten years in prison.

This latest crackdown makes a mockery of previous claims that the draconian National Security Law would be used sparingly and be applied only to cases with a direct and imminent threat to security. The case of the 12 Hong Kong youths who languish in a jail in Shenzhen has never had anything to do with national security.

There is also reason to believe that the evidence against the 11 individuals arrested today has been extracted from the 12 Hong Kong youths detained in Shenzhen through mistreatment and even torture.

We urge the international community to condemn these arrests and urgently move to adopt punitive measures, including Magnitsky sanctions, in the face of what has become regular crackdowns and assaults on Hong Kong’s freedom, democracy, and way of life.”

🇨🇦🇺🇳 香港監察敦促聯合國指派特使並促請加國擴大「救生艇計劃」幫助香港抗爭者

《港版國安法》陰霾之下越來越多香港抗爭者急需到異鄉暫避。香港監察共同創辦人 Aileen Calverley 於接受加拿大報章 The Star 訪問時敦促加國政府擴大「救生艇計劃」覆蓋範圍，為更多遭受政治打壓的香港抗爭者提供安身之處。

「香港作為一個國際金融中心，齊聚了來自世界各國的投資及資源，只有確保香港的自由和自治才能夠保障各國自身的經濟利益。

加拿大不可能憑一己之力推動中國作出改變。尤其是在得到兩位加拿大公民 Michael Kovrig 和 Michael Spavor（Two Michaels）被囚的經驗後，加拿大政府將更願意與其他自由世界的盟友合作。

然而，譴責聲明等等並不足以令香港抗爭者得以真切的幫助。加拿大政府需要採取實際行動。」

她亦提到希望聯合國可以派遣特使監察香港的人權狀況，並為仍身處香港但希望申請政治庇護的抗爭者認證其國際難民地位。

🇨🇦🇺🇳 Hong Kong Watch calls for U.N. envoy and the Canadian Government to expand “Lifeboat Scheme”

Hong Kong Watch co-founder Aileen Calverley urges the Canadian government to expand its newly-introduced “lifeboat policy” to cover vulnerable Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters.

/ / Just in January, Hong Kong authorities arrested 55 pro-democracy activists in a mass sweep, accusing them of taking part in an unlawful primary election last July in an attempt to paralyze the legislature and subvert state power.

The global response to the developments in Hong Kong hasn’t emerged unprompted. It was a result of the deliberate effort of Hong Kong Watch, a London-based advocacy group concerned about the human rights conditions in the former British colony.

Founded in 2017, the group has worked with policymakers in the U.K., the U.S., European Union and Canada, where it is instrumental in pushing for legislation to sanction China and Hong Kong, as well as policies to accommodate the exodus of activists from Hong Kong.

“Hong Kong is an international financial centre. A lot of countries have financial interests there. To protect their own interests, they need to protect Hong Kong’s laws and freedoms,” says Aileen Calverley, a co-founder of Hong Kong Watch, who is a British and Canadian citizen.

“Only Canada by itself cannot get China to do anything. Ottawa is interested in a joint effort with other countries, especially after the two Michaels’ experience,” she added, referring to Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, the two Canadians who have been held in China for two years since Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou’s arrest in Canada.

Calverley, who was born and raised in Hong Kong, says she would like to see a United Nations envoy investigate the human rights situation in Hong Kong and would like the international body to designate special refugee status to Hong Kong people for asylum abroad. (Under international law, individuals still remaining within their own country cannot be recognized as refugees.)

“It’s not good enough just to issue a statement without action. We need a rescue plan,” says Calverley, who hopes to launch her group’s Canadian branch in Ottawa later this year. / /

＃手足投稿
甚麼是陰謀論？
根據一般人的用法，陰謀論是指在證據不足下認定一些事是事實，換句話說就是老屈。如果有朋友認為這個定義不對，至少本文說的陰謀論不是說你心目中的陰謀論。

既然陰謀論是指證據不足下認定一些事是事實，那麼一旦你說別人的是陰謀論，那麼你就必須拿出充足的證據，否則你說的便是陰謀論。

要用證據證據一件事，至少要有論點、論據，然後加起來邏輯合理通順。事實上，很多說別人是陰謀論的人，並沒有提出論點、論據，只是說「這是陰謀論」，然後拒絕討論，因為已經有人fact check了。
這種思路，正是「問題—答案」式思路，找到「正確答案」便完成。一旦有人把「正確答案」塞給他，便拒絕思考。而這種思路，在考試制度盛行底下，其實是主流。
當社會上充斥著這類人的時候，只要掌握傳媒，將一些事實說是陰謀論，然後將一切證據說是偽造，便給出了正確答案，close file。
這並不是比誰有理據，討論事實，而是比哪個「事實」較多人說，較多人認受。這是將一件事說一千遍就變成事實。
只要說A是個騙子一千遍，利用傳媒力量日日講，Ａ就是騙子，他說的都是陰謀論，然後沒人再聽他說。只要說藍潔璊是癲，然後藍潔璊就只能是癲，無公司敢找她工作，然後到她死後又悼念她來消費。
這就是傳媒力量和個人力量的差距。個人力量只能能達到願意分析的人的耳中，而傳媒力量則是即使你關掉收音機你也會聽到街邊電視在播。
本世紀最大的陰謀論，就是說別人的論調是陰謀論，連唯一討論的空間都扼殺。

Mainland China has abandoned the Sino-British Joint Declaration that had guaranteed democratic rights and free speech to Hong Kong’s 7.5 million residents. Beijing does not recognize these inalienable human rights and is undermining or outright cancelling them in Hong Kong.

中國背棄了《中英聯合聲明》，以及聲明中保障香港750萬名居民的民主權利和言論自由的承諾。北京不單不承認這些不可被剝奪的人權，更在香港逐漸或直接地剝奪這些權利。

Now, China’s Communist Party is demanding, through its territorial government, that Hong Kong Canadians abandon ties with either the Special Administrative Region or with Canada. The Communist Party apparatchiks are counting on Canada to abandon our citizens.

現在，中國共產黨又通過香港政府要求居港加國公民選擇放棄與加拿大或香港的聯繫。中共此舉無疑等同要加拿大放棄我們的公民。

This is another heavy-handed attempt by Beijing to strip basic rights. It is a deplorable move by an undemocratic totalitarian regime.

這是北京強硬企圖剝奪基本權利的又一事例，一個不民主的極權政府極其惡劣的舉動。

The ramifications are massive and include the denial of mobility rights to leave Hong Kong as well as the loss of representation by the Government of Canada – including consular access.

I, along with other Canadians, and friends of Hong Kong, call on the Government of Canada to:

我聯同其他加國公民和與香港同行的朋友，向加拿大政府提出以下訴求：



(1) Protect the rights of our citizens by informing Beijing that the mobility rights of Hong Kong Canadians are non-negotiable and sacrosanct.

保障加國公民的權利，清楚向北京表達居港加國公民的遷徙及出入境權不容侵犯的原則；



(2) Quickly open a path to Canadian citizenship for family members of Canadian citizens in Hong Kong.

盡快設立相關機制，為居港加國公民的家庭成員提供移居加拿大的途徑；



(3) Offer a three-year working visa with a path to citizenship for Hong Kong students completing an accredited study program in Canada.

為於加拿大完成認可課程的香港學生提供為期三年的工作簽證，以及入藉的機會；

(4) Expedite asylum claims made by Hong Kong people involved in the pro‐democracy movement.

加快處理香港民主運動抗爭者提出的庇護申請；

其衍生結果將為居港加國公民帶來極大影響，包括被剝奪離開香港的出入境權利，以及失去加拿大政府的代表權，導致他們失去領事保護權。

(5) Work with the United Kingdom, United States, France, Australia, New Zealand and other democracies to protect the fundamental and inviolable rights of all dual-national citizens living in Hong Kong.

與英國、美國、法國、澳洲、新西蘭及其他民主國家合作，保障所有持雙重國藉居港的國民的基本權利不被侵犯。

For many generations, Hong Kong has accepted migrants and refugees from mainland China and elsewhere in Asia who were seeking freedoms and a better life. Today, the Hong Kong people are seeking assistance from other democracies. Canada must stand with them.

數代之久，香港接納了無數來自中國和其他亞洲地區，為追求民主自由和更美好生活的移民和難民。今天，香港人正在尋求其他民主國家的幫助。 加拿大必須與香港人同行。



Please sign the petition to the House of Commons, Parliament of Canada:

請簽署以下聲明予加拿大國會下議院：



I stand with a free Hong Kong and call on the Canadian government to protect the rights of Canadians living in the territory.

我與香港同行，並呼籲加拿大政府保障居港加拿大公民的權利。

『寧化飛灰，不作浮塵。』
在放棄抵抗之前，戰爭都不會結束。
我是安薩里上尉，生於1916年，是一位印度軍人。
　　
現在，當大家看到「印度」會想起什麼？
咖哩？獨特的古龍水？跳舞電影？還是印度奶茶？
如果是的話，我很羨慕你們。
因為在我的年代，看到印度人，一定會想起戰爭。
　
從第一次世界大戰到第二次世界大戰，印度士兵與英軍在世界各地征戰多年，而在香港開埠初期，印度人已在香港生活或從商，有些退伍的軍人甚至會加入警隊。
　
在1941年12月的香港保衛戰，守軍主力亦有很多英屬印度士兵，包括陸軍第7拉吉普團第5營（5/7th Rajput Regiment）和第14旁遮普團第2營（2/14th Punjab Regiment）。
　
我隸屬的拉吉普營在保衛戰傷亡慘重，在日本軍從深圳南下攻入香港，最初衝突爆發地點就是「醉酒灣防線」，這條防線英軍自信能夠拖住日軍進攻兩星期，結果不到兩天就被攻破了。
　
其後退守到港島區「北角」繼續抵抗，擁有892名士兵的拉吉普營，就有一半以上傷亡。
　
在短短18天的保衛戰，香港宣佈淪陷，我被帶到為印度兵而設的馬頭涌戰俘營，營中幾乎全部都是戰俘，日本軍絕不會善待敵軍，可想而知環境有多惡劣。
　
「你在軍中職級是上尉吧？只要你願意轉投效忠大日本帝國，向我們提供明盟國情報，我保證你不用受苦。」日本軍。
　
「不，戰爭仍沒有結束。」我。
「瘋了嗎？你們已經宣佈投降了。」
「戰爭仍沒結束。」我。
　
終於，在一年後的1942年1月，我在營中收到秘密情報。
　
英軍賴廉士上校成功逃出香港，與中國大陸的盟軍匯合，成立「英軍服務團」，營救在香港的戰俘。
　
我亦開始暗中與深水埗、亞皆老街戰俘營的軍官聯絡，負責戰俘營運送物資的貨車司機，開始為英軍服務團偷運信息。 　
我們當年用的方法，是你們現在的特工電影都不會想到的方法。首先，我們會將寫有加密信息的紙條放進已挖空內部的特製螺絲釘內。
　
信件會用假名，內容亦偽裝成一般業務話題，墨水則使用大米澱粉，這些墨水只需加上碘液後，便能夠閱讀信息。
　

此外，英軍服務團的人員亦向拘留營輸送重要消息和藥物，藉此提振戰俘的士氣與並恢復其健康，為日後的逃脫行動作好準備

經過一段日子的信息往來，成功將地圖與微型羅盤等逃生裝備偷運到戰俘營，亦提供了不少藥物，令士兵的狀態恢復至可以逃走的程度。
　
終於，花了整整半年時間，我聯合幾個戰俘營，與英軍服務團裏應外合，策劃一場營救行動。
　
在印度戰區的司令部，亦批淮代號名為「筷子行動」的逃脫計劃，特地準備足夠照顧5,000名戰俘的資金與物資。
　
「筷子計劃」先由英軍服務團聯絡惠州以南的游擊隊發動攻勢，另一方面，美軍航空部隊便在同一日空襲港九新界的重要據點。
　
在炮火的掩護下，1,600名傘兵空降到目的地點炸毁部份的軍事設施，救出戰俘。最後在遊擊隊的掩護下撤退到惠州的英軍服務團據點。
　
然而，「筷子計劃」到最後也沒有實行。原因主要有以下幾個：
　
一）逃脫行動不能帶走全部人，遺留下來的士兵，將遭受日本軍野蠻的報復。我們並非與一個文明的族群進行交涉…

二）物資短缺，加上日軍並沒按照國際標準對待戰俘，營內士兵的健康不足以參與脫逃計劃。 　
三）我們被間諜滲透了。
　
的確，日軍已發現戰俘營內有人與英軍服務團之間的聯繫網絡。1943年初，日本憲兵隊便展開行動打擊地下抵抗活動
　
在行動中有叛徒將情報賣給日軍以保自身安全，偷運信息的貨車司機已被抓去，在嚴刑逼供之下，供出多個計劃的重要人員。
　
日軍也在信息中滲透假信息，令多名英軍服務團特務及戰俘因此被捕，並遭處決。
　
在1943年5月，我也被日軍拘捕，被帶到赤柱拘留營，慘受饑餓之苦及被日本憲兵虐打。
　
「說出來會讓你舒服一點，其他被拘捕的都已經供出整個計劃，你們已經玩完了。」
　
「仍沒有結束！」我。
　
我苦撐至10月，由於沒供出任何對英軍不利的情報，日本軍也失去了耐性，在其他戰俘面前將我處死殺雞儆猴。
　
後來英軍服務團有繼續嘗試聯絡戰俘營，但士兵害怕是日軍的圈套，所以沒有回應，「筷子行動」宣告失敗。
　
在處死當天，我向在場的士兵說：
　
「人終需一死，很多人因病離世，承受揮之不去的痛楚。
我們會堅強而健康地死去，全為信念，不作叛徒，高貴地為國捐軀。
我們如今避不過敵人的劍了，但無人應流淚或抱憾。
我們要含笑面對敵人，勇敢地命赴黃泉。」
　
『寧化飛灰，不作浮塵。』
在放棄抵抗之前，戰爭都不會結束。
我是安薩里上尉，死於1943年，長眠於赤柱軍人墳場。
　
喜歡香港歷史故事，（呼籲會被 fb 刪帖）
大家記得按「大姆指」和「向右箭咀啊～」
在香港被消失前，用故事將歷史留住。
我想眾籌一本書《屬於香港人》

香港人有義務瞭解香港歷史！
也許歷史很悶，但把故事寫得有趣，是作家的責任
全書以故事瞭解歷史，用手繪地圖繪畫當時狀況！
　
《屬於香港人》六月出貨。
為避免這本書「被消失」，唯一方法是「沒存在過」。
所以只接受預售，有多少預訂，就印多少本。
不會公開發售。

// If Britain wants to be able to credibly stand up for its values and national security interests in the long run, the strategy must be to wean ourselves off dependency on Beijing. We should heed the lessons of our friends in Hong Kong or Australia, where economic coercion has been used as a geopolitical weapon.

Hong Kong Watch recently published an in-depth report on 'red capital' in Hong Kong. It showed that an influx of mainland money and assets – so called 'red capital' – changed the power dynamics in the city’s politics. Beijing’s long-term strategy was to bring the city’s economy under control. It achieved this by driving an increase of red capital into Hong Kong and by increasing the dependency of the city’s other firms on Chinese markets.

Businesses are Beijing’s key allies in controlling events in Hong Kong. Chinese and Western businesses alike have endorsed the National Security Law, knowing that their dependency on Beijing leaves them with little choice. Employees of Chinese firms were banned from protesting, mainstream Western firms have been forced to ditch employees who opposed the Chinese regime or participated in protests, HSBC has frozen the assets of democrats, and pro-democracy media has faced an advertising boycott from corporations.

In this way, the Chinese government exercises phenomenal political control. So it is naïve to imagine that Britain can hold a ‘twin-track’ foreign policy – with values, security and trade supposedly independent considerations. The stronger China becomes, the more it will mobilise each area of leverage it has. Deng Xiaoping’s philosophy was ‘bide your time, hide your strength’; Xi Jinping is set on projecting geopolitical muscle far and wide.

The ferocious treatment of Australia should be a significant warning. Australia’s commodity industry boomed because of China’s rise. But in recent years the situation has soured after it emerged that China was planting agents in the heart of Australia. As tensions have mounted, Beijing has put Australia in the deep freeze. This has enormous costs to the Australian economy. Yet Australia has not taken a more robust stance than the UK or US over issues like Hong Kong, the treatment of Uyghurs or Covid-19. They have been punished because they were more vulnerable. In both Hong Kong and Australia, the Chinese authorities have been able to bend the rules to make a political point because they enjoy economic supremacy. The dangers of dependency are clear. // writes Hong Kong Watch Policy Director Johnny Patterson.
