HK Government Orders #CivilServants to Assist in Electoral Office
In Hong Kong, Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip Tak-kuen sent a letter to all civil servants, saying that he had ordered the head of all government departments to assign civil servants to serve as electoral staff at poll stations in the upcoming Legislative Council (LegCo) election.
He added that civil servants are the "backbone of the government" and it is also their duty to make sure the election will be staged smoothly.
It was estimated that a total of 36,000 staff will be necessary on the election day.
Those assigned as electoral staff will face disciplinary actions if they fail to perform their duties or fail to report to the polling stations.
In the past, the administration has never made it mandatory for civil servants to assist in election routine.

Film Censorship Ordinance Amended in HK, as Pro-China Lawmaker Claims a Hong Kong Film is Toxic to Teenagers
October 27, 2021 marks the final meeting of the Legislative Council after the extension of its terms. The last item on the agenda was the 2021 Film Censorship Ordinance Amendment Bill.
As only 5 councillors expressed their view, the legislation process took only 45 minutes to have the bill passed.
The bill authorises the #FilmCensorshipAuthority to check whether a film violates the national security law. It also allows the Chief Secretary of Administration to withdraw already-issued screening permits.
At the meeting, a pro-China lawmaker Priscilla Leung Mei-Fun comdemned a 2015-Hong Kong film called Ten Years for "hating the country", " romanticising hunger strike and self-immolaton", as well as "inciting Hong Kong independence".
She claimed that Hong Kong had lost "several generations of teenagers" and she hoped to remove what she called "toxic movies" by the censorship law.
Ng Ka-Leung, one of the producers of Ten years replied to media inquiry. He said that Hong Kong people have adequate ability to make judgement and logical thinking skills to proces the so called controversial content of the film.
He added, when some people manipulate power and suppress other people's thought, this is much more toxic not only to teenagers but also everyone in society.
He reiterated that a legal movie exhibition provides a reflective space and this has nothing to do with toxicity.
The producer agrees with Leung regarding the fact that "Hong Kong has lost a few generations of teenagers," but he emphasises that the imbalanced power and unmonitored system are the reasons to the loss of trust in the authority.
[Editor note: Ten Years is a Hong Kong dystopian speculative fictional film which depicts the deterioration human rights and freedom in future Hong Kong.]

Film Censorship Amendment Ordinance passed in Hong Kong in merely 45 mins
On the last meeting of the extended Sixth Legislative Council in Hong Kong, lawmakers discussed the 2021 Film Censorship Ordinance Amendment Bill. 5 legislators spoke regarding the bill, so it only took 45 minutes to pass the third reading.
The content of the amendment mainly includes requiring the censor to consider whether the film would be contrary to the interests of national security.
The checking process is extended to 28 days, in order to have a thorough consideration and acquire all necessary information.
If the Chief Secretary for Administration believes that a film is contrary to the interests of national security, the Film Censorship Authority can revoke approval certificates or exemption certificates.
Inspectors can enter and search any place without a court warrant, as well as require the holder of exemption certificates or approval certificates to provide more information about the film, including the date, time and venue. This is to prevent individuals from illegally publishing films via social media or instant messaging applications.
The maximum penalty for showing films not yet approved by the Censorship Authority is raised to 3 years imprisonment and HKD1 million fine.

Police Arrest Three Civilians
Over Call to Cast #BlankVotes in #LegCoElection in Hong Kong
On November 9, 2021, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) in Hong Kong arrested three people for allegedly sharing an online message asking citizens to cast blank votes for the Legislative Council (#LegCo) elections scheduled for December 19, 2021.
The two men and one woman, aged between 29 and 65, are accused of violating the #ElectionOrdinance, which bans the incitement of others not to vote, or to cast an invalid vote during the election period.
The ICAC said its officers seized a number of mobile phones, claiming that the Commision will take resolute enforcement actions to combat conduct manipulating and sabotaging the election.
Just a day ago (November 8, 2021), the Secretary for Security Chris PK Tang criticized self-exiled, now Australia-based activist #TedHui. Tang, a former police commissioner, said that encouraging people not to vote or cast an invalid ballot in LegCo election may violate the national security law.

Hong Kong Authorities Might Postpone #NationalSecurityLaw Court Case to 2022, Detaining 33 Key Dissidents for 1 Year Before Trial
On November 14, 2021, Hong Kong's Department of Justice (#DoJ) requested the courts to postpone the National Security Law (#NSL) cases of 47 pro-democracy figures who had participated in the 2020 primary election to February 2022.
This means that 33 of them will have been held in prison for an entire year, without any bail, before their trial can begin.
In March 2021, Hong Kong authorities arrested 47 key pro-democracy figures, including around a dozen of elected lawmakers. The defendants were accused of conspiracy to commit subversion in connection with the primary polls the pro-democracy camp held in the summer of 2020 to pick candidates for the Legislative Council (#LegCo) Elections that was cancelled by the government in the end.
While 14 of them have been released on bail ahead of their trial, 33 had been on remand for almost a year.

Hong Kong’s Stage-Managed Election Is Fooling Nobody
//Arrangements for Hong Kong’s first legislative election under a revamped system are leaving little to chance. There must be competition — but not too much, and of the right kind. Meanwhile, the anti-corruption agency has warned against calls to cast blank ballots or abstain from voting — two of the few ways left for people to register disapproval of a Beijing-designed process from which political opposition has been excluded.
As of Nov. 3, five days after nominations opened, only 48 had been received for the 90 seats in the Legislative Council. The nomination period runs until Friday.
Hong Kong’s electoral system was always designed to favor pro-establishment interests. In the last LegCo election in 2016, when turnout reached a record 58%, only half the seats in a 70-member council were directly elected. After Beijing’s changes, just 20 seats, or less than a quarter of the expanded chamber, will be chosen by the full electorate of 4.5 million. Even if opposition candidates somehow got past new vetting procedures and achieved a clean sweep, they would still be in a minority. With the result not in doubt, such micro-management should be unnecessary. Why bother?
In practice, most authoritarian regimes attach a high significance to elections because they are seen as conferring legitimacy. Feigning conformity to established rules carries a ritual and symbolic power, as Lee Morgenbesser, who studies authoritarian systems at Australia’s Griffith University, has observed. Dictators from Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus to Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad have proclaimed a democratic mandate after elections that were clearly far from free and fair.
Autocracies have three, mutually reinforcing pillars of stability, according to the German political scientist Johannes Gerschewski: repression, co-optation and legitimation. After the instability of the 2019 pro-democracy protests, Hong Kong has relied primarily on the first, aided by a national security law that China imposed in mid-2020. Opposition candidates have been arrested, civil society has been hollowed out, and the media environment has become more constricted.//

Former Democratic Party legislator #TedHui and former district councillor #YauManChun of Hong Kong are now wanted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) for "allegedly calling on people to boycott and cast blank votes" in the upcoming Legislative Election.
The Department of Justice (#DoJ) of the Hong Kong government claimed that there was "sufficient evidence" to prosecute the two after an investigation into their social media posts.
Both Hui and Yau have declared they were in self exile and no longer in Hong Kong. Hui is currently in Australia and Yau is in the United Kingdom.

Hong Kong Authorities Allegedly Threaten International Media on Election Reportage
On November 29, 2021, the Wall Street Journal (#WSJ) published an editorial titled "Hong Kong Says Vote—or Else."
It refers to the Legislative Council (#LegCo) Election which has been postponed by the Hong Kong government for a year. With the majority of the pro-democracy camp jailed and detained, the election will now take place in December. The newspaper described the situation as how "China fears a boycott of the sham vote it will hold next month."
The newpaper wrote:
"We bring you this message from Hong Kong because China’s Communist Party wants the world to forget how it crushed the autonomy it promised to the territory. On Monday authorities issued arrest warrants for two pro-democracy exiles who used social media to recommend that Hong Kongers boycott sham legislative elections scheduled for December."
4 days after the release of the editorial, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, #TsangKwokWai, of the Hong Kong government sent a letter to the newspaper, denying all the claims.
On December 5, 2021, Wall Street Journal published the letter as a reader's opinion article, with the caption "Hong Kong Issues a Threat to the WSJ: We reserve the right to take necessary action,’ writes the regime, flagging an editorial for ‘incitement'."
While the Election is scheduled on December 19, 2021, Tsang's letter issued in December said the election will take place "next month".
