“Hong Kong Connection” Producer-Director Choy Yuk Ling, Bao Prosecuted; No Legal Assistance Under Self-Employment Contract — RTHK Union: Government Shows What an “Unscrupulous Employer” Is
根據《公務員事務規例》公務員如因執行職務而遭受與貪污無關的刑事檢控或民事訴訟，可向公務員事務局申請法律援助。公務員事務局回覆香港電台，指《鏗鏘集》編導蔡玉玲是以服務提供者形式受聘，並非公務員，因此不會獲任何政府僱員的福利或支援。
Under the Civil Service Regulations, civil servants may apply to the Civil Service Bureau for legal assistance if they face criminal prosecution unrelated to corruption or civil proceedings arising from the performance of their duties. The Civil Service Bureau told RTHK that “Hong Kong Connection” producer-director Choy Yuk Ling, Bao was hired as a service provider rather than as a civil servant, and therefore would not receive any benefits or support available to government employees.

Construction worker convicted over posts calling for “everyone to surround San Uk Ling”, sentenced to 160 hours’ community service
網名「金正恩」的38歲地盤工，被指去年在社交平台facebook一個公開群組發布4則帖文，稱「全民包圍新屋嶺」、「救出義士是重中之重」，被控煽惑非法集結，以及屬交替性質的煽惑未經批准集結罪。被告早前被裁定煽惑非法集結罪成，今（3日）在東區裁判法院被判160小時社會服務令。本案為「反送中」以來首宗涉及網上言論而經審訊被裁定「煽惑」罪成的案件。裁判官判刑時指被告於網上聲稱有人在新屋嶺死亡，他不知是否真有其事，但仍說有人死而藉此「呃like」；他又虛構有一名黑警同學以加強說服力。惟法庭考慮到即使有人「like」貼文，但亦有人對貼文抱質疑態度，他發佈的消息誇張失實，號召集會的效用低，最後沒有引發暴力事件。
A 38-year-old construction worker using the online name “Kim Jong-un” was accused of posting four messages last year in a public Facebook group, including “everyone surround San Uk Ling” and “rescuing the righteous is of the utmost importance”. He was charged with inciting unlawful assembly and, in the alternative, inciting an unauthorised assembly. After being convicted earlier of inciting unlawful assembly, he was sentenced to 160 hours’ community service at Eastern Magistrates’ Courts today (the 3rd). The case was the first since the anti-extradition movement involving online speech in which a defendant was convicted at trial of an incitement offence. In sentencing, the magistrate said the defendant claimed online that someone had died at San Uk Ling. He did not know whether this was true, but nevertheless said someone had died to “cheat likes”; he also fabricated having a classmate who was a “black cop” to make the claim more persuasive. The court took into account that although some people “liked” the posts, others questioned them; the messages were exaggerated and untrue, the call to assemble had limited effect, and no violence ultimately occurred.
