Starting December 1st, China’s new MLPS 2.0 cybersecurity laws will require a submission of facial scan to receive internet access.
(14 Oct) China will implement its new MLPS (Multi-level Protection of Information Security) 2.0 cybersecurity laws on December 1st, 2019. This new rule means every new mobile number and internet user will be associated with a facial scan, and the Chinese Ministry of Public Security can browse all data on Chinese networks, including foreign owned businesses, through the use of big data techniques. China is attempting to destroy anonymity on the Internet.
China has been increasingly using facial recognition technology as a surveillance tool and to silence opposition, such as spotting criminals in the crowd and evaluating how attentive students are in classroom. It is associated with the social credit system, which China is putting the surveillance in a new height. Recent laws in Hong Kong to ban the use of face masks also showcase the prevalence of such facial recognition technology in the ongoing privacy battleground. The extension of China’s internet rules and preferences on previously free internet space is worrying.

Witness Report: Deceased Girl's Belongings Found at School and MTR
[Editor's note: Witness suggests the CCTV footage from Block B may have captured the "blank 30mins". The police once classified the case as a murder and had yet released any result of the investigation.]
A schoolmate of Chan, the 15-year-old girl whose body found naked in the water, recalled that she discovered Chan's bag at around 18:15 on September 19 and had it picked up at around 19:00.
The bag was found on the podium of Block B and it contained Chan's student ID card, purse and a phone without any sim card. Since the time of this discovery was close to 17:51 (the moment Chan left the elevator), her schoolmate believes the CCTV in Block B should have captured how the bag was left there. This footage might also explain whether Chan took off her shoes on the campus.
In the same evening, a janitor from MTR also claimed to have found Chan's belongings including another phone and stationery near Exit A of Tiu Keng Leng Station. MTR confirmed this claim and stated that they have returned the items on September 21 to the girl's family.

Jimmy Sham Under Attack, Said "Five Demands Not One Less" when Taken to Ambulance
Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) convener Jimmy Sham was attacked today (Oct 16) in Mong Kok. Attackers smashed his head with hammers, causing heavy blood loss.
CHRF vice-convenor Figo Chan told the press that the attackers had threatened passers-by with knives to prevent them from rescuing Sham, and that Sham said "Five demands, not one less" while being taken onto the ambulance.
Chan stressed they are determined no matter who gets attacked. The demonstration will continue as planned on October 20.
Convenor of the Pan-democractic Camp Tanya Chan pointed out that in August Sham and his friend have already been attacked, but the police have made no arrest so far. "What is Hong Kong becoming? Can Carrie Lam see that?" she questioned. Chan urged the police to retain a professional attitude, and not to allow political differences to interfere with their investigation work.

Amnesty International on the Attack of Jimmy Sham: "Even in the context of increasing attacks on activists, this incident is shocking in its brutality"
Joshua Rosenzweig, Head of Amnesty International’s East Asia Regional Office, said:
“The authorities must promptly conduct an investigation into this horrifying attack, bring all those responsible to justice and send a clear message that targeting activists will have consequences. Anything less would send a chilling signal that such attacks are tolerated by the authorities.”

How did the death of a 15-year-old girl become suspicious in Hong Kong?
Read Part 1: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/8522
Part 2
The suspicion built up reflects the population's untrust of the police force and the authorities in general, especially after the 8.31 Prince Edward Station incident.
The following are some questions that are left unanswered regarding the case:
Question #n1
The police said Chan's death was not suspicious.
According to Forensic Doctor in the field, the discovery of naked female corpse is generally classified as suspicious case. Investigation should be conducted.
Question #n2
According to Apple Daily, Chan's handbag, purse and a phone without simcard were spotted on campus by a schoolmate at around 18:15 and her another phone* and stationery near Tiu Keng Leng MTR station (by a janitor).
*MTR used the phonebook of this phone to contact her family.
The police said Chan left her belongings at school and walked barefoot to the waterfront.
The school said a man and a woman brought Chan's belongings to the school's office in the evening she went missing.
Question #n3
On October 14, the school upon request disclosed only two footages (one in the lift and one near the car park) with inconsistent timestamps and missing parts.
On October 15, the school released the extended version of the two footages, but they did not explain how Chan left her belongings and became barefoot as the police account suggested.
On October 16, the school released 16 CCTV footages; however, the recordings between 17:51:31 and 18:13:36 (around 22 minutes) and 18:31:05 and 18:36:48 (around 5 minutes) are missing. Although Chan was seen leaving the campus barefoot, the missing parts are precisely when the changes took place. Hence, the footages still cannnot explain how or why she left her belongings and became barefoot.

The Taiwan R.O.C. Ministry of the Interior described Hong Kong Police as “Black Cop” 1 of 2
The Taiwan R.O.C. Ministry of the Interior, which is in-charge of the nation’s internal affairs, described Hong Kong Police as "Black Cop".
It wrote on its official Facebook page that web users were saying that Black Cops from Hong Kong and their families are planning to migrate to Taiwan.
The Ministry assured citizens that they have strict vetting procedures to keep out undesirable persons and criminals. If applicants are suspected to have criminal intentions, including damaging the nation’s interests, threaten public safety and order or are involved in terrorism, their migration applications will not be approved.
It also clarified rumours about buying a NT$6 million flat being one qualification to migrate are misleading.

The Taiwan R.O.C. Ministry of the Interior described Hong Kong Police as “Black Cop” 2 of 2
Taiwan politician Tong Hui-chen asked during a questioning section, "some people call the Hong Kong Police "Black Cop". Is this term appropriate in our social media?" Su Tseng-chang responded that he respects the term created by the people of Hong Kong and will continue to use it to describe the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Police.
Tong Hui-chen further questioned the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Taiwan on using terms like "Black Cop" and "Mob" to describe Hong Kong police on it's official Facebook page. She said that it is not suitable to use these words on an official Taiwan government website. Shee believed that it is a Hong Kong internal affair.
