China's State Media: Apple Daily Founder Jimmy Lai Might Face Life Sentence in China
Bruce Lui, veteran journalist specialized in China affairs and currently senior lecturer of Journalism in Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU), published an article recently regarding the Hong Kong authorities' arrest of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai among others under the National Security Law.
Lui pointed out that the Apple Daily case has been defined as a priority case by the PRC's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office and China-owned media after the enforcement of the “National Security Law”.
Lui cited how Beijing-controlled media like Global Times and Ta Kung Po had quoted pro-Beijing reseacher Lau Siu-Kai, Vice President of Chinese Association of Hong Kong & Macau Studies (CAHKMS), calling “Next Media” an “organisation with a political stance”. It was a hint that “Next Media” is highly likely to be rectified.
In particular, Lui indicated that China state-owned Global Times has quoted Tian Fei-long of the CAHKMS committee saying, “this case may involve complicated external elements. If it is difficult for further investigation and collecting evidence, Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong may participate in the investigation or take over the case.” It, moreover, implied Jimmy Lai might be sent to China for hearing. In the same report, Tian said if Jimmy Lai is a prime culprit, his penalty may be a life sentence.”
Regarding the inquiry of Stand News, Lui replied, “in the current state, it is not only limited to individual criminals but also extends to “Next media” and “Apple Daily” be accused of inciting a political organisation.” He believed Beijing likes to determine the nature of an incident, then to rationalise all their actions. “Global Times” has mentioned the accusation of this incident was a “political battle” and “involvement of external elements”. If it is the direction, media in Hong Kong won’t be protected by articles of the law related to freedom of speech and media operation, such as protection of news material and freedom to publish. In the meantime, the way how Beijing crackdown media may restrict daily activities and source of capital in “Next Media.”

Academics Demand #HKU and #HKBU to Retract their Decisions of Terminating the Contracts of #BennyTai and #ShiuKaChun
The Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has refused to renew the contract of Shiu Ka-Chun, a lecturer in social work and pro-democracy lawmaker of the social welfare functional constituency. The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has terminated the tenured position of Benny Tai, an associate professor of law and convener of the “Occupy Central with Peace and Love” civil disobedience campaign in 2014.
The education sector has initiated a petition condemning the 2 universities, and urging them to retract their decisions. Up to now, nearly 4,000 signatures has been collected.
Choi Bo-King, former associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) and member of Scholars’ Alliance for Academic Freedom, condemned government for intervening academic freedom. She pointed out that the Chief Executive (CE) has been appointing crucial positions in the universities’ committee which made decision on terminating the tenured position of legal professor Benny Tai.
Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union vice-president of Ip Kin-Yuen also criticised the university council of HKU which ignored the opinion of the university's senate of academic staff and insisted on dismissing Benny Tai in such a short time.
Citing a survey of the Global Public Policy Institute, Dixon Sing Ming, associate ptofessor of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (#HKUST) stated that Hong Kong academic freedom was marked with a score of 0.442, sharing a similar ranking with Ethiopia. It implies that academic freedom in Hong Kong has been facing a very serious crackeddown. This reveals how the authorities is suppressing human rights and democracy movements in Hong Kong via different faculties.

96% of Pro-democracy Hongkongers Want Legislative Election As Soon As Possible
After the Hong Kong government delayed the LegCo election by a year, the "We Hongkongers" Initiative of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) conducted a survey on whether the Legislative Election should be held as soon as possible.
The email survey ran from Aug 31 to Sept 3 and received 14,691 replies, of which 12,293 were from pro-democracy supporters, and 1,254 support other factions. After factoring in weighted adjustments, 68% respondents supported holding the election as soon as possible, while 27% did not.
Among the pro-democracy supporters, 96% were in support; among other fractions, 36% supported it, while 55% were against it.
Dr. Kenneth Chan, a member of the Election Observation Project and an associate professor of politics and international relations at Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU), said that the results indicated the vast majority of Hongkongers believe the election should be held as originally scheduled.
"The pro-democracy supporters showed it very clearly. 96% of them believe they were robbed of an election." Dr. Chan blasted Chief Executive Carrie Lam for pushing back the election date for over a year, with no scientific basis. Dr. Chan stated that, as of Aug 31, over 77 countries and regions have held elections despite the pandemic. He further criticized Carrie Lam for giving the impression that that most countries had postponed their elections, calling it misleading.

Hong Kong Film Censorship Authorities reject two student movies citing national security violations
Two movie screenings in the 4th Ground Up Student Film Festival have been cancelled after the films failed to obtain a Certificate of Approval from Hong Kong’s Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (#OFNAA).
The news came shortly after the amended Film Censorship Ordinance came into effect on 5 November 2021. The amended ordinance sets out the need to put an end to acts and activities that may endanger national security and it also allows the Chief Secretary of Administration to withdraw already-issued screening permits.
On November 19, 2021, Hong Kong Film Censorship Authority first turned down approval for #TheCage, a short film directed by Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU) graduate Tsoi Wing-chau. The film depicts totalitarian rule, capitalism, freedom and resistance.
Two days later, another film Piglet Piglet that sets around Taiwan's Presidential election also failed to obtain an approval certificate. The screening of #PigletPiglet was cancelled just over five hours before it was set to be held.
Director of the film, Lin Tsung-yen, wrote on his Facebook page, saying that “local authorities expressed disapproval. They asked me to cut all scenes and information linked to Taiwanese Presidential election and Tsai Ing-wen.”
