現在充斥著的還是誰有勢力誰聲音較大，即使推翻一個獨裁政權，不論國際標準，現在可能看來有即時效果，但如何作民主轉型正義？只要是軍事力量比較強就代表一切？我們就倒退到這種地步？還談甚麼民主、法治和自由？現在看來是討論何謂民主、法治和自由的最合適的時候。我現在很怕那些自以為一定是對的和強勢表達的意見。

I always like how a film professor said in a lecture when I was studying at the University of Hong Kong: "I'm not here to entertain you, nor should I please you. I challenge you about how you think about films and knowledge in general." That's so well-said. I'm not here to please anybody.

International law and order, including international human rights standards and other international mechanisms, depend on how states respect the importance of mutual respect.

At least one person died and eight others were injured after a fire broke out in a public housing unit in Shek Kip Mei on Sunday morning, authorities said. Police received multiple reports at around 8am that a unit in Mei Yue House, Shek Kip Mei Estate, was on fire.

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

Highly controversial.

MS NOW confirms that Maduro will be taken to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), the same facility—with horrific conditions—that held prominent prisoners like El Chapo, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Sean Combs, as well as ICE detainees.

In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report). That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed. My assessment just published: www.justsecurity.org/127962/madur...

No one supports a war in Venezuela btw

在醫院期間在樂天Rakuten訂購了四頂帽，這是最後一頂。 I placed the orders to buy 4 hats at Rakuten when I was in hospital. This is the last one.

This festive season, we call for the release of #HongKong barrister Chow Hang-tung, so that she may be reunited with her loved ones next Christmas. She has been held in detention for over 1,500 days and her NSL trial is due to start on 22 January 2026. #FreeChowHangtung

This Christmas season, we reiterate our call for the release of #HongKong’s Apple Daily founder and British citizen Jimmy Lai. At 78, in declining health, he now faces life imprisonment. We urge the UK government to lead concerted action to secure his release. #FreeJimmyLai #BringHimHome

keep listening to various flutists’ performance of Fauré’s Sicilienne and Ave Maria. So nice🥰

How could that 800-odd pages of so-called “evidence” prove any “collusion” with any “foreign forces”? Calling on other countries to sanction Hong Kong and Chinese governments can be called. “collusion”?

八百幾頁判決有甚麼證據證明「勾結」外國勢力？聯絡和呼籲制裁就叫「勾結」？過去20幾幾年，我們所有聲明和與其他機構對中國各個人權侵犯個案，要求聯合國各和各國關注，並給中國政府放人，那又算不算是「勾結」和「煽動顛覆」政權？荒謬絕倫！

We used to describe crimes like “subversion”, “leaking state secrets” and “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” against dissidents in China. Now, there are also pocket crimes in Hong Kong - “collusion with foreign forces” and “sedition”. Shame🙄😡

Hong Kong's High Court on Monday found pro-democracy campaigner and tycoon Jimmy Lai guilty of collusion with foreign forces under a China-imposed national security law that could see him imprisoned for life.

just another mad and sad day although expected 😢

謝謝 Rti 中央廣播電臺 採訪： 我也說了幾句： 對於香港高院宣布黎智英的3項罪名都全數成立，旅日香港學者潘嘉偉認為，完全都在預期之中。他認為，法官明年1月宣判刑期時，可能會考量已經78歲的黎智英，年紀已經這麼大，或許可能會判輕一點，但從法院宣布黎智英3項罪名都成立來看，某種程度等於是宣布了香港進入了沒有出版自由、言論自由及新聞自由的時代，做為一個香港人，他感到非常悲傷。 www.rti.org.tw/news?uid=3&p...
