Canada begins accepting Hong Kong pro-democracy activists as refugees
Canada has begun accepting Hong Kong pro-democracy activists as refugees, a sign that this country is opening its doors to those fleeing Beijing’s crackdown on civil rights in the former British colony.
In a Sept. 1 letter, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada notified a married couple from Hong Kong, both in their early 30s, that the refugee protection division has determined they are “Convention refugees” and their claims for asylum have been accepted.
The Hong Kong man, 33, who has been accepted as a refugee, said he was a very active protester in the pro-democracy movement in the Asian city, including with a well-known political party that put pressure on the local government to implement universal suffrage. He and his wife, 30, also took to street protests in 2019 amid mass demonstrations that followed efforts by Hong Kong’s leadership to enact legislation that would allow extradition to mainland China.
The man said he was on the front lines of demonstrations in 2019 and ran a warehouse to produce defensive equipment for protesters. He said he was at one point detained by Chinese authorities – they were not wearing uniforms – and Hong Kong police followed him and searched his home, but he was never charged.

朗豪坊（Langham Place）是香港一组摩天大楼建筑群，位于九龙旺角亚皆老街8号，于2004年10月落成并于2005年开幕，是该区著名地标。 朗豪坊属于三合一大型发展项目，分别由商场（朗豪坊）、写字楼（朗豪坊办公大楼）、酒店（香港康得思酒店）组成。朗豪坊三个项目有互惠互补的特点，大型商场设有大量商店、食肆及娱乐设施，而高级写字楼和五星级酒店则分别为商场带来高消费力的上班族及旅客，形成一个稳定的消费链。
7.21元朗有大批白衣人以「保家衛村」為由，無差別襲擊市民，事後在南邊圍持武集結叫囂，引起公憤。一群專業人士近日發起「清算」行動，親自瞰察南邊圍一帶村屋僭建問題，抽出逾300間涉違規村屋，並逐一透過1823熱線向政府投訴；最嚴重個案包括有人在霸佔的政府官地上興建5層高「村屋」。發起人今午在連登討論區公佈所有涉違規資料，呼籲網民集體以電郵促請屋宇署署長跟進。
根據公開的「清算名單」，涉違規村屋遍佈南邊圍及西邊圍，總數達304間，當中131間（43%）的樓層數目超出新界小型屋宇准許的3層，涉及加建樓層，最嚴重的村屋有5層之高；另外亦有13間涉侵佔政府官地，其中6間在涉嫌霸地後，更在上面興建高逾3層的村屋；其餘大部份涉及天台屋、簷篷等僭建。
