Further Erosion of Rights: Hong Kong Police Obtain Power of Search of Mobile Phones without Warrant
On April 2, 2020, the Hong Kong's Court of Appeal reverts the ruling of the High Court and grants the Hong Kong police power to access the digital content of mobile phones, without the need to obtain a warrant.
The appeal was submitted by the police commissioner in opposition to the High Court's ruling made in 2014. During the annual July 1 protest in 2014, the phones of five pro-democracy activists were confiscated by the police. The group filed a judicial review and the court ruled that it is unconstitutional for the police to have such power.
Regarding the new ruling in 2020, concerns are raised over the infringement of personal privacy and the further erosion of rights. The judgement stated that refusal to give password to the police would not constitute an offence of obstruction.

‘We’re coming to get you’: China’s critics facing threats, retaliation for activism in Canada

For instance, in January 2020, even when she had a friend book her a hotel room in Vancouver under a different name, she received threats over the phone.
“I sat in my room and just started shaking, realizing that I could be in very real danger and not knowing what to do,” she said.
Wong said activists who are critical of the China often have their families in China visited by government officials.
“They come and knock on your door and say, ‘we’re coming in to talk to you about your family,’” she explained.
“What dissidents face in Canada is often on the grey area of criminal harassment and just discomfort that you feel (in) daily life,” Wong said.

#RTHK censors radio show content, calling lyrics from Les Misérables “controversial"
The public broadcaster RTHK has once again removed radio show content, citing "controversial material" as a reason.
In the radio progran “Letter to Hong Kong” scheduled to be aired on April 4, 2021, a letter that district councillor #MarkMo wrote to a detainee was originay planned to be read.
However, on Apr 2, 2021, Mo received a notification from RTHK that based on the new programme editor regulations, pre-approval is required before any controversial topic is put on the show and therefore his letter would not be read out on the show on Apr 4.
The show decided to read a letter written by previous chairman of RTHK Board of Advisors Chan Kin-keung.
According to Mo, he wrote the letter to a detainee that he visited for work reasons. The letter quoted some lyrics from Les Misérables, and mentioned that the democratic camp and the resistance camp are both facing challenges and are reflecting how they should keep going under Hong Kong’s current situation. He was not given a date when the letter will be read.
