張雅笛（Tara）是一位在法國生活的中國學生與倡議者，因推動藏漢和平對話而在雲南失踪。她的失踪凸顯中共對全球異議人士的監控與打壓。請與我們一起呼籲真相與正義。 #張雅笛#人權#言論自由 Zhang Yadi (Tara), a Chinese student and advocate based in France, went missing in Yunnan after promoting peaceful dialogue between Han and Tibetan communities. Her disappearance highlights the CCP’s global surveillance and repression of activists. Join us in demanding truth and justice. #ZhangYadi#HumanRights#FreeSpeech#CCPoppression#politicalprisoner

Freedom of speech should not be negotiable—especially in exile Hong Kong activist Carmen Lau says UK police asked her to self-censor after threats from Beijing. But under the Labour government, Britain’s commitment to human rights is increasingly in doubt. Since Labour came to power: - They’ve opened the door to extraditing Hongkongers back to China - They’re pursuing closer trade ties with Beijing, despite its authoritarian record - They’re considering approval of a Chinese “super-embassy”in London - Their stance on Hong Kong’s democracy movement has weakened significantly #HongKong#Democracy#FreeSpeech#TransnationalRepression#UKPolitics#LabourParty#CarmenLau#人權#言論自由 言論自由不應該是可以妥協的——即使身在海外 香港民主運動人士劉珈汶表示，英國警方在她遭受來自北京的威脅後，要求她「自我審查」。但在工黨執政下，英國對人權的承諾正受到質疑。 自工黨上台以來： - 他們重新開啟了與香港的引渡合作 ，可能危及流亡港人 - 他們積極推動與北京的經貿關係 ，無視其威權統治 - 他們考慮批准在倫敦建立中國「超級大使館」 - 他們對香港民主運動的立場顯著弱化 #香港#民主#言論自由#跨國打壓#英國政治#工黨#劉珈汶#人權

Social worker Chan Hung-sau’s case has spanned over five and a half years, stemming from the events of August 31, 2019. Despite no clear evidence of her participation in any violent actions, she was convicted upon retrial on March 11, 2025, and immediately remanded for sentencing in April alongside three co-defendants. She was charged with rioting merely for shouting words through a microphone, which the court deemed provocative. This highlights how, under the #HongKong judicial system, one can face rioting charges simply for standing against the government. #FreeSpeech 社工陳虹秀因 2019 年 8 月 31 日灣仔事件被控暴動，案件歷時逾五年半。儘管沒有明確證據顯示她參與任何暴力行動，她仍於 2025 年 3 月 11 日被裁定罪成，並即時還押，將於 4 月與三名認罪被告一同判刑。陳僅因用咪向警員叫喊，即被控暴動，法庭更以言論具挑釁性為由定罪。這突顯在香港司法制度下，只要反對政府，便可能被控以暴動罪。 #香港#司法#陳虹秀#示威#言論自由

黎智英提到願意坐監犧牲，並表示：「我不認為我做了違法的事，但已坐牢4年。」這番話引發社會廣泛關注，凸顯了他對於香港民主和自由的堅持。 黎智英的案件再次提醒我們，中共如何摧毀法治，將政治犯無審判地投入監獄，這對言論自由和人權的威脅不容忽視。 #黎智英#言論自由#香港#人權#民主 In a recent interview, Jimmy Lai expressed his willingness to sacrifice by going to prison, stating, "I don't believe I did anything illegal, but I have been in jail for 4 years." His words have sparked widespread attention, highlighting his commitment to democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. Lai's case serves as a reminder of how the CCP destroys the rule of law, jailing political prisoners without trial, posing a serious threat to free speech and human rights. #JimmyLai#FreeSpeech#HongKong#HumanRights#Democracy

香港司法獨立的爭議 前最高法院法官約翰·薩姆普頓（Lord Jonathan Sumption）指責香港的司法機構對政府“過於偏袒”，引發關注。他在播客中提到，最近的案件顯示司法機構似乎向政府低頭，特別是在47位民主派人士案中有14人被定罪的情況下。 薩姆普頓還提到《立場新聞》的煽動罪判決，認為在一個合理的自由社會中，報紙編輯應該可以批評政府，這是言論自由的基石。 政府否認這些指控，強調香港的司法獨立性和法治未有惡化。 Controversy Over Judicial Independence in Hong Kong Former top court judge Lord Jonathan Sumption criticized the Hong Kong Judiciary for being "too partial" to the authorities. In a recent podcast, he noted that recent cases suggest the Judiciary is kowtowing to the government, especially with 14 out of 16 pro-democracy figures convicted in the 47 democrats case. Sumption also commented on the Stand News sedition verdict, arguing that newspaper editors should be free to criticize the government, a fundamental aspect of free speech. The government denies these claims, insisting on the independence of Hong Kong's judiciary and that the rule of law has not deteriorated. #香港#JudicialIndependence#人權#HumanRights#言論自由#FreeSpeech#法治#RuleOfLaw#政治迫害#PoliticalPersecution https://hongkongfp.com/2024/10/22/hong-kongs-courts-are-independent-govt-says-after-ex-top-court-judge-says-judiciary-too-partial-to-authorities/
