721白衣人鄧嘉民申上訴失敗 官：持藤條與白衣人同行 明顯具傷人意圖
Tang Ka-man, a white-clad man involved in the Yuen Long 721 incident, was convicted last year of rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent and sentenced to four years and one month in prison. He appealed against his conviction for the wounding offence. The Court of Appeal judge Kevin Paul Zervos dismissed the appeal on Wednesday, and handed down the written judgment on Friday (the 17th), issuing a “time deduction order”. This means that if Tang’s further application for leave to appeal is rejected, the time spent awaiting the decision will not count towards his prison sentence.
The judgment said the appellant argued that the evidence was insufficient for the trial judge to infer that the white-clad men had a serious intent to injure, and that she had also failed to properly consider the elements of the offence. Kevin Paul Zervos responded that the trial court had already found that the rattan poles involved could cause bleeding, bruising and other injuries. Tang acted alongside the white-clad men while carrying a rattan pole, clearly demonstrating an intent to cause serious injury to others, and the trial judge had not confused the elements of the offence.
元朗 721「白衣人」鄧嘉民，去年被裁定暴動及串謀有意圖傷人罪成，被判囚 4 年 1 個月。他就傷人罪提出定罪上訴，上訴庭法官薛偉成周三即日駁回，周五（17 日）頒下判詞，發出「減時命令」，即鄧若再申請上訴許可被駁回，等侯判決的時間不計入服刑。
判詞引上訴方質疑，證據不足以讓原審法官推論白衣人有嚴重傷人意圖，她亦未正確考慮控罪元素等。薛偉成反駁，原審已裁斷涉案藤條可致出血、瘀傷等，鄧持藤條與白衣人一同行事，明顯具有致他人受嚴重傷害的意圖，而原審法官亦沒混淆控罪元素。

721罪成白衣人 就傷人罪申請定罪上訴許可 即日被駁回
Tang Ka-man, a “white-shirted man” involved in the Yuen Long 721 incident, was found guilty after trial of rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent, and sentenced to four years and one month in prison. He applied to appeal against his conviction for the wounding offence. The Court of Appeal’s leave hearing took place on Wednesday (15th), and judge Kevin Paul Zervos dismissed the application the same day. The handing down of written reasons was adjourned until Friday (17th).
The appeal argued that even if Tang had “foreseen” that wooden sticks or rattan would cause serious injury, this did not mean he had a specific intent to wound and was insufficient for a conviction. The judge said the white-shirted men had carried out attacks that day and Tang, as one of them, was involved in the riot, questioning whether it could be said that there was no evidence proving Tang had participated in an agreement to wound.
More than six years after 721, 21 people have so far been convicted of rioting and other offences. Of them, 13 were white-shirted men and the remaining eight were not. Figures provided by police in July showed that there had been no new arrests or prosecutions for two consecutive years.
元朗 721「白衣人」鄧嘉民經審訊後，被裁定暴動及串謀有意圖傷人罪成，被判囚 4 年 1 個月。他就傷人罪提出定罪上訴，案件周三（15 日）處理許可聆訊，上訴庭法官薛偉成即日駁回，押後至周五（17 日）頒下書面判詞。
上訴方指，即使鄧「預見」木棍或藤條會導致人嚴重受傷，亦不代表他有特定意圖傷人，不足以定罪。法官指，白衣人當天作出攻擊行為，鄧作為其中一員涉及在暴動內，質疑是否沒證據證明鄧有參與傷人協議。
721 至今逾 6 年，至今 21 人暴動等罪成，當中 13 人為白衣人，其餘 8 人為非白衣人。警方今年 7 月回覆的數字顯示，已連續兩年未有新的拘捕或檢控。

【7.21六年】「零零後」市民到元朗站默站 指事件令人難以忘懷
Six years ago today, a large group of people dressed in white stormed into the MTR Yuen Long Station and attacked members of the public. Six years after the incident, some people born in the 2000s stood in silence at Yuen Long Station this evening. Among them, Ms Ma, who lives in Yuen Long, said she was underage when the 7.21 incident occurred. Recalling that she watched a livestream by then-Legislative Council member Lam Cheuk-ting, she said she was shocked that something like this had happened near her home: “I’ve never been able to forget that something like this happened.”
在六年前今日，大批白衣人衝進港鐵元朗站襲擊市民。事件六年過去，有「零零後」市民今晚到元朗站默站，其中居住在元朗的馬小姐稱，其在721事件發生時尚未成年，憶述當時觀看時任立法會議員林卓廷的直播，對自己的家附近發生這樣的事感到震驚：「發生咗咁樣嘅事，一直都忘記唔到。」

721 六年｜紅紗布被沒收 女長毛指警稱或違國安法 市民穿黑衫到場「見證」
Today marks six years since the 721 incident. At 3:45 p.m., police deployed tactical buses and police vans outside Yuen Long Station, and separately sent around a dozen uniformed and plainclothes officers to patrol inside the station. A member of the public wearing a black shirt printed with the words “It is always the right time to do the right thing” arrived at Yuen Long Station in the evening. During the reporter’s observation inside the station in the afternoon, police stopped and questioned the reporter, who was released after providing registration details.

721 六年｜ 721 投訴 廉署：仍在調查 其他反修例懷疑公務員貪污個案 全部不成立
Six years after the Yuen Long attack on 21 July 2019, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) set up a special investigation team in August 2019 to handle suspected corruption cases related to the anti-extradition bill movement, saying it would seriously follow up on complaints concerning the 721 incident. The Collective has found that the relevant “Special Duties Unit” disappeared from the government telephone directory in mid-2022. The ICAC did not directly answer whether the team had been disbanded, saying only that it reviews staffing from time to time and makes appropriate deployments when necessary. Asked about the progress and outcome of the investigation into the 721 incident, the ICAC said the case was “still under investigation” and that it would not comment, adding that all cases would be handled in accordance with established procedures and the law. As for other suspected corruption cases involving civil servants related to the anti-extradition bill movement, the ICAC said it had “completed the investigations”, indicating that all the allegations lacked substantive supporting evidence. After reporting the matter to the Advisory Committee on the Review of Corruption Complaints, the committee agreed that all the complaints were unsubstantiated.
721 元朗襲擊事件發生六年，廉政公署 2019 年 8 月曾成立特別調查小組，專責處理與反修例有關的懷疑貪污個案，稱會嚴肅跟進 721 事件的投訴。《集誌社》發現，相關「特別職務組」於 2022 年中已從政府電話簿消失。小組到底是否已解散？廉政公署未有正面回覆，僅表示會不時檢討人手，在有需要時作出適當調配。721 事件的調查進度及結果又如何？廉署指個案「仍在調查」，不會作任何評論，廉署會依法按既定程序處理所有個案。至於其他與反修例有關的懷疑公務員貪污個案，廉署則稱「已完成調查」，顯示所有指控均欠缺實質證據支持，經向審查貪污舉報諮詢委員會匯報後，委員會同意投訴全部不成立。

721 六年｜伯明翰港人辦街頭展 盼「說真香港故事」連結英國社群
Six years after the Yuen Long 721 attack, Hongkongers overseas organised commemorative gatherings in various places around the world. Unlike previous years, however, no Hongkonger organisations in Manchester or London formally initiated public activities this year. In Birmingham, a central English city, Hongkongers held activities on Sunday afternoon (the 20th) and Monday evening (the 21st), local time. Among them, “a group of Hongkongers opposing authoritarianism and the UK-based Hongkongers’ Prisoners’ Rights Concern Group” organised a “Tell the True Hong Kong Story” street exhibition in the city centre, saying it hoped to “restore a history that has been smeared and awaken the collective conscience”.
元朗 721 襲擊事件 6 年，全球多地都有海外港人發起集會紀念，但有別於以往，英國曼徹斯特及倫敦今年未有港人組織正式發起公眾活動。至於在中部城市伯明翰（Birmingham），則有港人在當時時間周日（20日）下午及周一（21日）傍晚發起活動。其中「一群對抗極權的港人及移英港人囚權關注組」，在當地市中心舉辦「說真香港故事」街頭展覽，指希望「還原被抹黑歷史、喚醒集體良知」。

721六年｜連續兩年無新拘捕或檢控 至今暴動等罪成21人 當晚做了甚麼？
As the Yuen Long 721 attack enters its sixth anniversary, 22 people have so far been charged with rioting, wounding with intent and other offences. Of these, 21 were convicted and sentenced to between two years and one month and seven years’ imprisonment.
The Witness has compiled the case details of the 21 convicted people from court judgments and proceedings. Of the 13 white-shirted people, 10 attacked others in the concourse of Yuen Long Station, while eight appeared on the platform and threw objects, among other acts. The remaining three attacked others at Ying Lung Wai. Of the eight non-white-shirted people, Lam Cheuk-ting and six others were accused of shouting, spraying water and throwing objects inside the fare gates in the station concourse. The other non-white-shirted person was accused of throwing objects at Exit J.
Six years after the incident, footage captured a large group of white-shirted people gathering, with some allegedly carrying weapons and attacking others. In its latest response, the police said 69 people had been arrested and 22 prosecuted. The figures are the same as those reported in July 2023, indicating that there have been no new arrests or prosecutions for two consecutive years.
元朗 721 襲擊踏入六周年，至今 22 人被控暴動、有意圖傷人等，當中 21 人罪成，被判囚 2 年 1 個月至 7 年。
《法庭線》從判詞、庭上內容整理罪成 21 人的案情。就 13 名白衣人，有 10 人在元朗站大堂襲擊，8 人曾在月台現身、擲物等，另 3 人則在英龍圍襲擊；至於 8 名非白衣人，林卓廷等 7 人被指在站大堂閘機內叫喊、射水、擲物等，另一非白衣人的犯案地點則在 J 出口擲物。
事發至今 6 年，事發影像拍攝到大批白衣人聚集，部分人涉持武器、襲擊。警方最新回覆，至今拘捕 69 人、檢控 22 人，數字與 2023 年 7 月時相同，顯示已連續兩年未有新的拘捕或檢控。

721白衣人案｜英龍圍暴動等罪成 鄧嘉民提上訴 上訴庭10月中處理
The Yuen Long 721 incident will soon reach its sixth anniversary. Tang Ka-man, a “white-clad man” who was convicted after trial of rioting and other charges and sentenced to 4 years and 1 month in prison, has appealed against his conviction. The Judiciary’s website shows that the Court of Appeal will deal with his application for leave to appeal on 15 October. The hearing is expected to last 150 minutes, while the judges handling it have yet to be announced.
According to statistics compiled by The Witness, all six court cases arising from the 721 incident have concluded, with 21 people convicted in total. Thirteen were white-clad men, who were sentenced to between 3½ and 7 years in prison; eight were not white-clad men, and were sentenced to between 2 years and 1 month and 3 years and 1 month. Among them, former Legislative Council member Lam Cheuk-ting and white-clad man Stanley Ying Kit Wong had the same sentencing starting point of 3½ years.
元朗 721 事件快將六周年。經審訊後被裁定暴動等罪成、判囚 4 年 1 個月的「白衣人」鄧嘉民，不服定罪提出上訴。司法機構網頁顯示，上訴庭將在 10 月 15 日，處理他的上訴許可申請，料需時 150 分鐘，負責的法官有待公布。
據《法庭線》統計，721 事件的 6 宗法庭案件已全數審結，共 21 人罪成。白衣人佔 13 人，被判囚 3 年半至 7 年；非白衣人佔 8 人，被判囚 2 年 1 個月至 3 年 1 個月。當中，前立法會議員林卓廷與白衣人黃英傑的量刑起點同為 3 年半。

721事發逾5年半 白衣人王志榮暴動等罪成判囚7年 與鄧懷琛刑期一致
More than five and a half years after the Yuen Long 7.21 attack, Zhirong Wang, who was acquitted in the first white-shirted rioters case, was remitted by the Court of Appeal for the trial court to reconsider. District Court judge Eddie Chor Man Yip ruled last week that he was guilty of rioting and wounding with intent, making Wong the 13th white-shirted man to be convicted (see table in the main text). Wong was sentenced to seven years in prison at the District Court on Tuesday (8th), making him, together with Tang Wai-cham, one of the white-shirted men to receive the heaviest sentence.
In mitigation, the defence said Wong had “only moved his hands a few times”. The judge said that, as a member of the group of white-shirted men, Wong had made indiscriminate threats, provocations and attacks against members of the public. The judge also said his role was no less serious than those of co-defendants Lam Koon-leung and Lam Kai-ming. Seven years’ imprisonment was set as the starting point for each of the two offences, to be served concurrently, and there were no factors warranting a reduction in sentence.
The judgment said Lam Koon-leung and Lam Kai-ming were involved in attacking people inside the barriers in the concourse of Yuen Long Station, and, together with other white-shirted men, pursued them to the platform, “continuing the attack in the concourse by taking turns to rush into the train carriages, swinging poles or throwing objects at passengers trapped inside. This was another indiscriminate attack in which all reason had been lost.”
元朗 7.21 襲擊至今逾 5 年半，在首宗白衣人暴動案獲裁無罪的王志榮，被上訴庭發還原審重新考慮。區院法官葉佐文上周裁定他暴動、有意圖傷人罪成，令王成為第 13 名罪成的白衣人（見內文表）。王周二（8 日）在區院被判囚 7 年，與鄧懷琛一樣成為刑責最重的白衣人。
對於辯方求情稱，王「只係郁咗幾下手」，官稱，王作為白衣人大夥兒一員，無差別對市民作出威脅、挑釁、襲擊行為；並指其角色與同案被告林觀良、林啟明不遑多讓，兩罪均以判囚 7 年為量刑起點，同期執行，亦沒有減刑因素。
翻查判詞，官指林觀良、林啟明涉在元朗站大堂襲擊閘內人，並連同多名白衣人追擊到月台，「延續在大堂般的襲擊，輪流衝入車廂揮棍或擲物來襲擊被困在車廂的乘客。這是喪失理智的另一次無差別施襲」。
