National security police arrest Wong On-yan, accused of disclosing investigation details; once said ‘Central support is just a show’, suspected of incitement
國安警拘捕一名 71 歲男子，他被指遭國安警約見助查後，於網上披露案情，已達「通風報訊」效果，屬「罔顧是否會妨害該項調查」，嫌違返《維護國家安全條例》第 88 條「不得妨害調查危害國家安全罪」。國安警又指，該被捕人，在宏福苑五級火後，涉在社交平台，發放煽動意圖資料，「例如佢話中央政府對災情支援，只係做戲」。警方國安處總警司李桂華說：「以我調查，佢嘅罪行係證據確鑿」，有機會在調查後作檢控。據了解，被捕人是前民陣副召集人、時事評論員王岸然。
National security police arrested a 71-year-old man who was accused of disclosing details of the case online after being interviewed by national security police to assist an investigation, thereby having the effect of tipping off others and showing disregard for whether it would obstruct the investigation. He was suspected of violating Section 88 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, the offence of obstructing an investigation into offences endangering national security. National security police also said the arrested man had allegedly disseminated material with an inciting intention on social media after the five-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court, such as saying that the Central Government’s support for the disaster response was “just putting on a show”. Li Kwai-wah, senior superintendent of the Police National Security Department, said: “Based on my investigation, the evidence of his offence is conclusive,” and that he might be prosecuted after the investigation. The arrested man was understood to be Wong On-yan, former deputy convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front and a current affairs commentator.

612 Fund Societies Ordinance case: Appeal side says broad interpretation harms freedom of association; ruling due within 9 months
「612 人道支援基金」被指沒註冊為社團案，5 名信託人不服定罪提上訴，周四（4 日）展開第二天聆訊，上訴方和律政司完成陳詞，法官押後於 9 個月內，即明年 9 月或之前頒判決。
上訴方資深大狀李志喜稱，法庭愈循廣義詮釋條例，對結社自由就構成愈大損害，又引「香港民族黨」與近日兩組織被禁在港運作為例，指很多事現已可循國安法規處理，反問仍要求註冊社團有何用處。大狀林國輝則指，何韻詩真誠相信是出於人道支援而成立基金，而非社團。
律政司一方則認為「612基金」屬於信託，亦是條例定義下的社團，指上訴人為着共同目的聚在一起開會，亦有涉足公開籌款等活動。
In the case alleging that the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund was not registered as a society, its five trustees, dissatisfied with their convictions, lodged an appeal. The second day of the hearing took place on Thursday (4th), with the appeal side and the Department of Justice completing their submissions. The judge adjourned the case and will deliver a ruling within nine months, by September next year at the latest.
Senior Counsel Gladys Veronica Chi Hei Li for the appeal side said that the more broadly the court interpreted the Ordinance, the greater the damage to freedom of association. Citing the Hong Kong National Party and the recent bans on two organisations operating in Hong Kong as examples, counsel said that many matters could now be dealt with under the National Security Law, and questioned the purpose of continuing to require societies to register. Counsel Harry Kwok Fai Lam said that Denise Ho genuinely believed the fund had been established for humanitarian support, rather than as a society.
The Department of Justice argued that the “612 Fund” was a trust and also a society as defined by the Ordinance. It said the appellants had gathered to hold meetings for a common purpose and had also engaged in activities including public fundraising.

38-year-old tattoo artist jailed for two months over “8964” graffiti on Mong Kok Police Station wall
38 歲紋身師涉今年 10 月，在旺角警署外牆塗鴉「8964」，被控一項「刑事損壞」罪。被告早前認罪，周四（4 日）在西九龍裁判法院判囚 2 個月。
辯方求情指，被告受酒精及分手影響而犯案，惟裁判官劉綺雲拒納其求情，指閉路電視片段可見，被告當日與同行人士有交流，步履如常，且被告「邊行邊望牆」，終在旺角警署外牆外站定塗鴉。官認為，被告刻意挑選位置塗鴉，藉此挑戰執法機關。
A 38-year-old tattoo artist was charged with one count of criminal damage for spray-painting “8964” on the outside wall of Mong Kok Police Station in October this year. He pleaded guilty earlier and was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (4th).
The defence submitted in mitigation that the defendant committed the offence under the influence of alcohol and following a breakup. Magistrate Lau Yee-wan rejected the mitigation, saying CCTV footage showed that the defendant interacted with people accompanying him that day and walked normally. The defendant was also seen “looking at the wall while walking” before stopping outside Mong Kok Police Station to graffiti it. The magistrate said the defendant had deliberately chosen the location in order to challenge law enforcement agencies.

7.14 Sha Tin | Injured police officer sues two protesters, says he suffers from PTSD; court awards HK$495,000
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城市廣場發生衝突，兩名示威者被指毆打警員，早前承認暴動罪被判監。事件中受傷警員郭兆恒循民事向兩人索償，法官羅麗萍周四（4 日）在區域法院，判郭兆恒可獲 49.5 萬元賠償，兩人另須付利息及訟費。
判詞提到，郭事後患中度創傷後壓力症，子女亦受欺凌，郭亦曾出現長期失眠及自殺傾向，醫生建議他避免穿著警服工作，亦不適宜配槍，日後仍需接受精神科治療。判詞另指，示威者故意公然襲擊及羞辱郭，令他受傷及遭受嚴重侮辱，警可獲「加重損害賠償」。
On 14 July 2019, clashes occurred at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin, and two protesters accused of assaulting a police officer were sentenced to prison after earlier pleading guilty to rioting. The injured officer, Kwok Siu-hang, subsequently brought a civil claim for damages against the two. Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh ruled in the District Court on Thursday (4th) that Kwok Siu-hang should receive HK$495,000 in damages, with the two also required to pay interest and legal costs.
The judgment said Kwok later developed moderate post-traumatic stress disorder, while his children were also bullied. Kwok also experienced prolonged insomnia and suicidal tendencies. Doctors advised him to avoid working in police uniform and said he was unsuitable to carry a firearm; he will also need ongoing psychiatric treatment. The judgment further said the protesters deliberately assaulted and publicly humiliated Kwok, causing him injury and serious humiliation, and that he was entitled to aggravated damages.

56 歲男子涉於今年 11 月 25 日，損壞 4 幅屬於立法會新界西北候選人梁明堅的旗幟，被捕後在警誡下指「飲咗少少酒，一時唔開心」才損毀旗幟。男子周四（4 日）在屯門裁判法院承認一項「刑事損壞」，被判囚兩個月、緩刑一年，並需要向梁明堅賠償 150 元。

612 Fund Societies Ordinance Case: Judge Focuses on Organisation’s Nature; Appeal Says It Was Neither a Trust nor a Society
「612 人道支援基金」被指沒註冊為社團案，5 名信託人不服定罪提上訴，周三（3 日）展開首天聆訊。天主教香港教區榮休主教陳日君樞機、前立法會議員何秀蘭、大律師吳靄儀的法律代表完成陳詞。高院首席法官潘兆初關注，組織在性質上是否信託。
上訴方否認，又指單憑有共同目的不足夠認定它是社團，而它亦沒有階級架構、不設會員。上訴方又指，律政司錯誤依賴七十年代判例，而原審裁斷吳靄儀是基金負責人等，與實況「格格不入」。案件周四續。
The appeal hearing opened on Wednesday (3 July) after five trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, which was accused of failing to register as a society, challenged their convictions. Legal representatives for Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, the emeritus bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, former Legislative Council member Margaret Ng, and barrister Audrey Eu Yuet-mee completed their submissions. Poon Siu-tung, Chief Judge of the High Court, focused on whether the organisation was, by nature, a trust. The appellants denied this, arguing that a common purpose alone was insufficient to establish that it was a society, and that it had neither a hierarchical structure nor members. They also argued that the Department of Justice had wrongly relied on case law from the 1970s, and that the trial court’s finding that Audrey Eu was a person in charge of the fund was “at odds with reality”. The case continues on Thursday.
