Court of Final Appeal: ‘Joint Criminal Enterprise’ Principle Does Not Apply to Riot or Unlawful Assembly, but Absent Participants May Still Be Punished as Secondary Parties
終審法院裁定「共同犯罪原則」不適用於暴動及非法集結案，不在現場參與者，不可視為「主犯」。但推動、鼓勵或促進非法集結或暴動的行為，不論是否在場，均可按「從犯罪行」懲處與主犯一樣的刑罰。
The Court of Final Appeal ruled that the ‘joint criminal enterprise’ principle does not apply in riot and unlawful assembly cases, and that participants who were not at the scene cannot be treated as principal offenders. However, anyone who promotes, encourages or facilitates an unlawful assembly or riot, whether present or not, may be punished as a secondary party with the same penalty as a principal offender.
