Student groups “shocked” by Sheffield SU International Students’ Officer’s pro-China posts
(12 Feb) Taiwanese and Hong Kong students were left feeling “shocked”, “angry”, and “disappointed” after a series of posts made by the SU International Students’ Officer (ISO), Sissi Li over the Chinese social media platform WeChat.
Sisi Li encouraged Chinese nationals to ‘actively report’ forms that list Taiwan, China and Hong Kong as separate nationality options, adding that: ‘I hope you could contact me when you find such a low-level mistake and need any help. We can help him/her correct it together.’ Hong Kong and Taiwanese student representatives have been alarmed by the posts, alleging that the ISO was encouraging the University to adopt the ‘one China’ principle in registration forms.
Separately, Forge Press was shown an article published on the messaging platform Weixin aimed at exposing the identities of Hong Kong students involved in the city centre clash a couple of days before hand. The article praised the attempts of mainland Chinese students and encouraged them to share the ‘exposure material’ among the rest of Sheffield’s Chinese community. Taiwanese and Hong Kong student communities believe that the posts have compromised their safety on campus and in the city as a whole.

Police Allegedly Dox Investigative Reporter: An Apparent Retaliation and a Blow to Press Freedom, Journalist Association Laments
Apple Daily revealed earlier that Assistant Police Commissioner, Rupert Dover and his wife, also a police officer, had rented out one of the houses they are residing in Sai Kung as a guesthouse. The couple was suspected of breaching both the property rule which restricted usage of the house to an immediate family member of the house owner and operation of a guesthouse for short-term stays without a license.
Subsequently, Dover’s wife, Cheung Ngai-si allegedly changed her profile picture on Facebook to a picture of the reporter who was involved in Dover’s investigative report, perhaps, a retaliation by way of doxxing the involved reporter.
The incident is seen as a blow to press freedom and amounts to contempt of court as Apple Daily had obtained an injunction order from the High Court forbidding anyone from disclosing or publishing personal details of its staff.
While the paper was discussing options with lawyers to protect its staff, it issued a legal letter to Dover’s wife on May 2, demanding an apology and compensation and the reporter was expected to file a complaint with the privacy commissioner.
The Hong Kong Journalists' Association (HKJA) issued a statement, pointing out that the police officer's switching of her Facebook profile picture to the reporter's photo couldn’t be a coincidence. Such action was disturbing and added pressure to the press. The Association reiterated that Dover and his wife are public officials. When facing adverse media reports, they should respond appropriately to the content of the story, not targeting individual journalists. The Association urged the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to follow up on and investigate the matter actively.

Hong Kong Journalist Association requests access to Registers Lists by all media
The Hong Kong Journalist Association has opposed the rule that only government-approved media is allowed to access the Provisional Registers and Omissions List. In an appeal letter to the Chief Executive, the Association expressed concerns that the discriminating system will limit the media's ability to monitor the election, and demanded the government to reconsider the policy.
The Provisional Registers and Omissions List reveals Hong Kong voters’ names and residential addresses in the public.
The public used to have access to the list, until the Junior Police Officers Association applied for a judicial review to restrict its accessibility in order to prevent doxxing of police officers. The court now ruled that only government-approved media is allowed access.

記協去信林鄭月娥 反對只讓已向政府登記的傳媒查閱選民登記冊
記者協會去信行政長官林鄭月娥，反對政制及內地事務局只是讓獲政府認證的傳媒，查閱選民登記冊的安排，認為會限制傳媒監察選舉的功能，擔心政府以此收窄記者的定義，變相推行官方發證和識別制度，要求特首責成官員重新制訂政策。

Doxxed Hong Kong Reporters Suspect China Travel Agency Has Leaked Information
Since the anti-ELAB protests began, reporters' personal data have been put online many times in doxxing attempts. Recently, a website circulated a large number of "Apple Daily" employees' photos and information.
Those who were doxxed pointed out that their photos being disclosed were the one they used for the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents. It is suspected that the information was leaked by the China Travel Agency that handled the documents.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data responded to inquiries, stating that it has no statutory authority to force extraterritorial organizations to provide website operator information, and the Office has not responded positively to whether it will investigate China Travel Agency.

Since the sanction could be mis-enforced, causing unintended consequence, a certain amount of personal data was disclosed alongside the U.S. sanction list so that there would be no excuse for financial institutions worldwide for not locking on the right person and execute sanction.
All at once, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and Chief Executive Carrie Lam jumped up and cried out their disagreement: it is an infringement of privacy.
Meanwhile, personal data of Apple Daily reporters have been deliberately disclosed on a doxxing website quietly approved by government authorities.
It’s an astonishing coincidence that disclosed data of Apple Daily reporters, including photos and telephone numbers, were provided to China Travel Services for “Home Return Permit” application. Not knowing why, the Privacy Commissioner is stretching his ruling to the U.S. while letting go a doxxing website in Hong Kong.
Is Hong Kong still a metropolitan city? As many countries have lifted their extradition treaties with Hong Kong, is the city still in good capacity to hunt down criminals absconded abroad? Can Hong Kong counteract anyone who intends to harm the interests of Hongkongers or the Hong Kong and Chinese governments?

Overseas Hong Kong Activists get harassed by pro-CCP groups, just like in HK
For Hong Kongers living in Canada, it might be 'far from home'. Unfortunately, they are not far from danger. Some people received rape and death threats on social media from CCP supporters. Others received threatening phonecalls to their personal hotel rooms.
Pro-democracy activists in Canada have experienced the impotence of the Canadian police in the face of doxxing and death threats.
Activists around the world face risks and pressure which are manifested in the same form as how they are in Hong Kong or even mainland China.

HK Government's New Service Might Let Journalists Be Doxed
In Hong Kong, vehicles' information used to be accessible upon application to the Transports Department. This service had been used by many journalists when conducting investigations.
In November 2020, the authorities, however, targeted RTHK journalist Bao Choy, who produced two TV documentaries on the July 21 Yuen Long mob attack, by arresting her for "giving false statements" when looking up vehicle owners' information.
Worse still, in January 2021, the Hong Kong government introduced a new service where car owners could choose to be notified if the information of their vehicle is disclosed. Once subscribed, the owner will receive an email notification containing the information of the applicant.
Former lawmaker Claudia Mo commented that the new service would expose the identity of the journalists and put them in potential danger.

Chinese Human Rights Lawyers Harrassed and Threatened by CCP
The Sichuan based Chinese #HumanRightsLawyer #LuSiWei told Apple Daily that he was being followed by four black-clad men in China since a few days ago.
On January 10, 2021, outside of his residence, his handphone was snatched by another unknown man who subsequently, threw his phone on the ground and ran away. Lu immediately reported the case to a nearby police station.
Lu suspected that these unknown men have been sent by the Chinese police, and that one of the men is a government worker in his district.
He alleged that the incident was connected to his involvement in 'politically sensitive' cases which recently led to revocation of his license.
Calling it an “old fashioned harassment”, Lu condemned the series of incidents a serious threat to his personal freedom.
Lu was appointed by the family members of Quinn Moon, one of the 12 Hongkongers whose boat was intercepted by mainland Chinese authorities during a reported ill-fated flee to Taiwan in August 2020

Beijing Mouthpiece Defames a 11-year-old Hong Kong Boy and Uses Fake Identity to Approach his Family
In Hong Kong, 11-year-old #JoelWong, the founder of the Tin Shui Wai Community Concern Group, was assaulted by a pro-Beijing elderly man on January 25, 2021.
Wong saw a group of elderly women and men gathering and dancing in a park in Tin Shui Wai. When he approached the group, reminding them to keep the music down, he was headbutted by one of the men who also punched Wong on his tummy.
Since Wong reported the case to the Hong Kong Police, Wong has been harassed by Ta Kung Pao, a Beijing-owned newspaper. On January 26, 2021, the CCP mouthpiece even published a so-called "interview" with Wong’s Grandmother on its frontpage, defaming the community-caring Wong as "going astray".
The Concern Group told Stand News that the reporter of Ta Kung Pao, who "interviewed" Wong's grandmother first claimed to be his teacher and social worker. When Wong's grandmother let the reporter into their apartment, he took picture of their household and other family members. It was only after that he then revealed his identity as a reporter.
The Concern Group denounced the reporter’s action, calling it “shameful” to chat with Wong's family and “betray their trust.”
