The Carrie Lam adminstration Asked "Hong Kong people" to fight against the epidemic, but since when the unelected government recognise its people?
1735 | Fo Tan
In his speech, Jimmy Sham of Civil Human Rights Front delineated several points as food for thought:
- What is the actual situation in China?
The lack of transparency of the Chinese authorities and the ongoing problem of censorship have made it difficult for the world to handle the epidemic crisis with accurate measures and decisions.
- The Carrie Lam adminstration asked "the people of Hong Kong" to fight against the epidemic, but since when the unelected government of Hong Kong recognise its people and the identity of Hong Kong people as they are?
The Hong Kong government still refused to close Hong Kong borders with China, despite the demands of the population. Sham emphasized that the lack of truth is the real cause of the terror stirred up in the city.

First Anniversary of Anti-Extradition Law Movement During Coronavirus Outbreak, Jimmy Sham: To play safe, everything is on hold
Last year on March 31, Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) held the first anti-extradition law march where over ten thousand citizens protested in the rain.
The march then sparked more and more protests against the government's plan to implement the existing law to allow extradition to China.
CHRF were originally planning an anniversary event on March 31, but then decided to put everything on pause, just to be on the safe side during the coronavirus outbreak.
According to convener Jimmy Tsz-kit Sham, CHRF members explored options available in the epidemic, but concluded that it is not the safest time to organize anything.

Anniversary of Anti-Extradition Law Movement During Coronavirus Outbreak, Jimmy Sham: With an anniversary event or not, we should fight for our five demands
Part 1: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/19073
It is approaching the one year mark of the Anti-extradition protest, which has brought Hong Kong's social movements from a slump to a peak.
The plan to organize anniversary event has become very difficult during the coronavirus outbreak. Jimmy Sham, convenor of Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), said their biggest worry is the potential spread of COVID-19 in an assembly or march: "We have to be responsible for public safety".
As for other anniversary dates in June, Sham said many people are curious about CHRF's plan, but it is still too early to make any plans because of the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus--no one knows if the epidemic will be over or not. "Whether we are holding an anniversary event or not, we should still continue to fight for our five demands", Said Jimmy Sham.
[Editor's note: Anniversary dates in June include but are not limited to June 12. The day in 2019 marks the climax of the anti-extradition movement, as citizens surrounded the legislative council building in a hope to stop the second and third reading of the extradition law amendments at the council. The police fired tear gas and shot at civilians. The public discontent over the government handling of the protest and the extradition law amendments was shown in the 2-million peopled march a few later later on June 16.]

HK Police asks rally organizer to follow theme park's entrance practice and hand in names of rally participants
The Hong Kong police has recently banned the application made by the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) for a protest on October 1, 2020, a public holiday in Hong Kong for the Lantern Festival as well as PRC's national day.
The CHRF has filed for an appeal, but the appeal board upheld the police's decision to ban what would have been Hong Kong's largest authorised protest in months.
The board said that a rally on National Day could put public health at risk despite social distancing measures proposed by the organizer, such as asking marchers to wear masks and walk in groups of no more than four.
Jimmy Sham Tsz-kit, Convenor of CHRF, further revealed that, during their negotiation with Hong Kong Police, the Force cited Ocean Park’s entrance policy as a reference, requesting rally organizer to collect participants’ names and hand them to the Police to identify the source of potential disturbances.
Sham was concerned that this is another attempt of the government to silence Hong Kong citizens, removing their freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

LGBT+ organizations: Hong Kong Court Only Willing to Consider Same-sex Marriage Rights in Split Scenario and in Judicial Review
The High Court in Hong Kong issued a verdict where the denial of inheritance rights of spouses in a homosexual marriage were ruled unconstitutional on Sept 18, 2020.
Judge Anderson Chow Ka-ming stated that the regulations discriminate between heterosexual couples and same-sex couples and lack a reasonable explanation, which constitutes as illegal discrimination.
The Attorney General claimed that local marriage law grants heterosexual couples a special status, and the members of heterosexual couples must bear the legal responsibility to support their spouse, so they cannot be treated the same as same-sex couples.
Judge Chow disagreed with the claim, stating that the original intention of the law is to prevent the deceased from evading the responsibility of supporting others. These include those who the deceased has to take care of in terms of legal responsibilities and moral responsibilities, such as their parents and brothers and sisters.
Chow stated that the Attorney General's view is wrong and reflects that the law treats opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples differently.
However, the judicial review filed by Jimmy Sham, vice convener of the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) was shot down by Judge Chow on the same day.
Sham challenged previous ruling of the court, arguing that the refusal to recognise overseas same-sex marriages is in violation of the Basic Law.
Some LGBT+ organizations believe that Sham's lost case is extremely unfair and ironic, criticising that same-sex couples could only submit judicial review on various marital rights one at a time, that "you could only win if you cut the case." They asked, "Is it impossible to enjoy these rights without judicial reviews?"

高院裁同性伴侶有自動繼承權 官促修訂遺產相關條例「有效婚姻」定義 - 20200919 - 港聞
【明報專訊】男同志3年前在英國與男友結婚，早前就丈夫的居屋繼承權提出司法覆核，認為現行涉及遺產繼承的法例不承認同性婚姻，令其丈夫無法繼承物業，做法屬違憲。高等法院昨日頒下判辭，法官周家明表示，條例對異性伴侶及同性伴侶存有差別待遇，並欠缺合理解釋，構成非法歧視。周官又指出，一旦給予同性伴侶繼承權，不見得會破壞法例完整性，亦無證據證明會對傳統婚姻制度有害，故裁定申請方勝訴，並表明要修訂涉案條例中「丈夫」、「妻子」及「有效婚姻」的定義，下令訴訟雙方在21日內向法庭交文件。

Civil servants warned to refrain from partaking in pro-democracy rallies rejected by HK Police
The Hong Kong police has recently banned the application made by the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) for a protest on October 1, 2020, a public holiday in Hong Kong for the Lantern Festival as well as PRC's national day.
A day ahead of now-banned-rally, Civil Service Secretary Patrick Nip Tak-kuen urged civil servants not to take part in any unauthorised assemblies during the mid-autumn and National Day festivities.
In a letter sent to civil servants on September 30, Nip said that as of the end of September, 46 civil servants have been suspended for either getting arrested for taking part in illegal public activities, or being under police investigation, or being prosecuted.
He said the government attaches great importance to the conduct of civil servants, and have zero tolerance for those who violate the law.

46公僕被捕需停職 聶德權籲勿參與違規活動
公務員事務局局長聶德權說，截至本月底，有46名公務員因涉嫌參與非法公眾活動被捕，現時正接受警方調查或正被起訴，他們全部已被停職。 聶德權向全體公務員發信表示，政府極為重視公務員的品行操守，對違法公務員是零容忍，亦絕不姑息。而網上充斥不少扭曲不實的信息，鼓動市民參與非法遊行，聶德權相信公務員都能明辨是非，奉公守法，遵守《公務員守則》訂定的操守準則。 聶德權又說，疫情未「斷尾」或會有所反覆，在假期期間防疫意識不能鬆懈，外出時要做好各項防疫措施，切忌參與任何可能違反禁止群組聚集相關規例的活動。
