China Takes Countermeasures Against Restrictive Measures on Chinese Media Agencies in the US
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, March 18, 2020HRIC Note: The move to prohibit New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post journalists with U.S. citizenship from working in Hong Kong, where there is no official registration requirement for journalists, directly contravenes the “one country, two systems” principle under which the Hong Kong Special Administration Region is governed. Last October, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam stated clearly: “We have no intention or plan to start a centralised registration system for journalists, not to mention doing any vetting on who can conduct reporting . . . . Freedom of speech is a core value of Hong Kong, and I completely agree that the media has a role as the ‘fourth estate’ in monitoring the government. So our job is to facilitate and assist the work of the media.”
中国人权注：禁止《纽约时报》、《华尔街日报》和《华盛顿邮报》拥有美国国籍的记者在香港工作的举动，直接违反了香港特别行政区在“一国两制”原则管辖下的规定；在香港，记者没有正式注册的要求。去年十月，香港行政长官林郑月娥明确表示：“我们没有打算或计划启动针对记者的集中登记制度，更不用说对谁可以作什么报道进行任何审查……言论自由是香港的核心价值，我完全同意媒体在监督政府方面扮演着‘第四产业’的角色。因此，我们的工作是促进和协助媒体的工作。”

“722” NGO长沙富能案程渊、刘永泽、吴葛健雄3人今同时解除6位律师的代理委托 (After being denied access to clients for nearly 8 months, lawyers for three detained members of public interest NGO Changsha Funengare are dismissed)
Weiquanwang, March 16, 2020
HRIC Note: On March 16, without providing any written notifications, Changsha state security authorities and various Bureau of Justice authorities informed the lawyers representing the three detained members of the public interest NGO Changsha Funeng that they have been dismissed by their clients. The absence of formal written notices raises serious concerns about whether the detainees—Cheng Yuan, Liu Yongze, Wu GeJianxiong—have in fact authorized the dismissal. (One of the dismissed lawyers is Wu’s father, Wu Youshui, who is representing his son.)
In nearly eight months of detention since they were first taken into custody on July 22, 2019, the “Changsha Three” have not been granted access to their lawyers. In a de facto state of enforced disappearance, they face risks of being forced to make confessions under torture.
The police authorities have been extending the period of investigation multiple times, without bringing formal charges. Today’s “dismissal” may signal an impending secret trial in which the defendants are forced to be represented by government appointed lawyers.
中国人权注: 长沙公益仨（程渊、刘永泽、吴葛剑雄）的代理律师今日都接到当局的非正式通知，告知他们被解除代理，连吴葛剑雄的父亲吴有水律师也被通知已被其儿子解除委托。长沙公益仨在2019年7月22日被长沙国安带走后，一直被禁止会见律师，处于被强迫失踪的状态，面临被刑讯逼供的风险。该案在侦查期满后不断被延期，目前当局强迫解除当事人委托的律师，意在指定官派律师进行秘密审判。
