Five 612 Fund Trustees Deny Failure to Register; Trial in September to Dispute Whether They Were Society Office-Bearers
6人均不認罪，將於9月19日開審，今（9日）在西九龍裁判法院進行審前覆核。裁判官引述控方文件指，各被告就同一宗旨組成團體「612基金」，並有持續性由2019年至2021年運作。控方以FB片段、會議紀錄及資金來源等證明，並指6人為骨幹人物。而控辯雙方將爭議612基金是否屬「社團」，及被告是否幹事。
All six defendants pleaded not guilty and will stand trial on 19 September. A pre-trial review was held today (9th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. The magistrate cited prosecution documents stating that the defendants formed the group “612 Fund” for a common objective and that it operated continuously from 2019 to 2021. The prosecution is relying on Facebook clips, meeting minutes and funding sources as evidence, and says the six defendants were key figures. The prosecution and defence will dispute whether the 612 Fund was a “society” and whether the defendants were office-bearers.

11.18 PolyU｜10 charged with rioting in Yau Ma Tei; prosecution opens: masks and telescopes found, 4 officers slipped or were cut
綜觀各個因素，控方認為案中被告沒有前往該處的正當理由，且警方多次發出警告，即使當時交通受阻，被告亦有充足機會離開，反而選擇留在現場，加上示威者的逃跑是有方向性、組織性，不可能只是害怕警方而走避。
Taking all the factors into account, the prosecution argued that the defendants had no legitimate reason to go there. Police had issued multiple warnings, and even though traffic was obstructed at the time, the defendants had ample opportunities to leave but instead chose to remain at the scene. In addition, the protesters’ escape was directional and organised, and could not simply have been an attempt to flee out of fear of the police.
