涉TG討論「大屠殺」警員及支持防疫者 4男判囚16至38月 官指言論反政府
Four Men Jailed 16 to 38 Months Over Telegram Discussions of “Massacre” Targeting Police and Anti-Covid Supporters; Judge Says Speech Was Anti-Government
2022 年初新冠肺炎肆虐，5 名男女被指在 Telegram 群組倡議以暴力手段及武器，攻擊警員、公職人員及支持防疫政策的市民，揚言「實施一場大屠殺」。 4 男承認串謀有意圖傷人、煽動等罪，周四（29 日）在區域法院判囚 16 至 38 個月。 法官練錦鴻判刑時稱，被告的言論實際是反政府，「企圖將 2019 年社會事件留下殘餘的灰燼，再挑起火頭，再挑撥起同樣對社會不滿的人，破壞已有制度，同歸於盡」。法官又指，涉案帖文沒有政治理念，是宣洩仇恨，「與其他恐怖分子沒有太大的不同」。 有被告案發時不足 18 歲，官指「年輕並非一個身分，亦非成就」，亦非任意妄為的藉口，又指有社會賢達、知識分子公然說暴力可以解決問題，但他們因為有足夠警覺及專業知識，「可以在紅線之前停下」，誤信其言的人則「未能及時轉向，墮入深淵」。
In early 2022, as Covid-19 was raging, five men and women were accused of advocating the use of violence and weapons in a Telegram group to attack police officers, public officials and members of the public who supported anti-pandemic policies, and of declaring that they would “carry out a massacre”. Four men pleaded guilty to conspiracy with intent to cause injury, incitement and other offences. They were jailed for 16 to 38 months at the District Court on Thursday (29th).
