Good morning.

Oil Street Art Space, an art gallery that holds a special place in my heart, is opening its new extension in North Point today!!! 10 new projects will be released with the opening of this space, and I’m so sad I won’t be there to experience them. If you go, let me know how it is. Please send me photos.

Today: Retired Cardinal and five others to stand in court

National Security

The retired Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, singer Denise Ho, and three others will appear in court today in a case where they were charged for not registering a fund (that is no longer active) meant to give financial aid to 2019 protesters.

In relation to this fund, HK’s Law Society confirms that national security police sent over a complaint claiming that some lawyers have been suspected of misconduct while handling legal cases. The Law Society has not disclosed further details.

Since we can’t get enough of national security, here is another related news story:

  • Martin Rogers, Asia chairperson of US law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, will no longer be speaking at a national security law forum (The National Security Law Legal Forum: Thrive With Security) that has been criticised as a ā€œpropaganda eventā€.

Fourth dose recommended for higher-risk populations

COVID-19

People with chronic illnesses or other health needs that put them in a higher-risk category are recommended to get a fourth COVID-19 vaccine at least six months after their third. Same-day tickets for the fourth dose are now available at community clinics and hospitals, while online bookings will be available on Thursday.
