譴責香港政府以國安法檢控黃之鋒
The Hong Kong Human Rights Information Centre strongly condemned the Hong Kong Government for once again abusing the Hong Kong National Security Law to bring strategic prosecutions against pro-democracy political leaders. Today (June 6), nearly five years later, the authorities suddenly brought new charges against Joshua Wong. This was clearly a deliberate arrangement of the timing of the prosecution to avoid the possibility of concurrent sentences being imposed by the court, thereby extending Wong’s imprisonment. Wong had been expected to complete his sentence in the 47 democrats’ primary election case in early 2027. However, the new charge he now faces, the offence of “collusion with a foreign country or with external elements” under Article 29 of the Hong Kong National Security Law, is bound to substantially extend his imprisonment and could even result in a life sentence. The Centre considers that the Hong Kong authorities’ actions clearly violate judicial fairness, using legal procedures to serve political ends and attempting to legitimise the authorities’ arbitrary detention of dissidents.
香港人權資訊中心強烈譴責香港政府再次濫用《香港國安法》,針對民主派政治領袖進行策略性檢控。今日(6月6日),當局在相隔近五年後,突然對黃之鋒提出新的檢控,明顯是刻意安排檢控時間,以避免法庭判處同期執行刑期的可能性,從而延長對黃之鋒的監禁。黃之鋒原預計在2027年初可完成他因民主派47人初選案的刑期,惟現時他所面對的新控罪,《香港國安法》第29條「勾結外國勢力罪」,勢將大幅延長對他的監禁,甚至可被判處終身監禁。本中心認為,香港當局的行動明顯違反司法公正,利用法律程序為政治目的服務,企圖合理化當局任意拘押異議人士的行為。

黃之鋒監獄被捕 被控《國安法》串謀勾結罪 控罪指與羅冠聰及其他人請求制裁
Joshua Wong, the former secretary-general of Demosisto who is serving a sentence in the case involving 47 people over the pro-democracy primary, was arrested at Stanley Prison on Friday (the 6th) morning and taken to West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts in the afternoon for his hearing. He was charged under the National Security Law with conspiracy to collude with a foreign country or external forces to endanger national security. The charge alleges that, between July and November 2020, he requested sanctions together with Nathan Law and other unidentified people.
The prosecution applied for Wong not to be required to enter a plea for the time being, pending further police investigation. Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak adjourned the case until 8 August for a further hearing. Wong did not apply for bail.
The hearing lasted less than three minutes. Wong appeared in a dark-coloured shirt and looked in good spirits, nodding from time to time as correctional officers brought him into court. After the court clerk read out the charge, Wong said, “Understood.” After the hearing, he also waved to the public gallery.
正就民主派初選 47 人案服刑的前香港眾志秘書長黃之鋒,周五(6 日)早上在赤柱監獄被捕,下午被押往西九龍裁判法院提堂。他被控《國安法》串謀勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全罪,控罪指他 2020 年 7 月至 11 月,與羅冠聰及身分不詳的其他人請求制裁。
控方申請黃暫時毋需答辯,以待警方進一步調查。主任裁判官蘇惠德遂將案押後至 8 月 8 日再訊,以待警方進一步調查 。黃沒有保釋申請。
案件開庭不足 3 分鐘,黃之鋒身穿深色恤衫應訊,精神不俗,被懲教人員帶上法庭期間不時點頭。法庭書記朗讀控罪後,黃表示「明白。」散庭後,黃亦向公眾席揮手。

六四 36|盤點過去五年 最少 67人涉悼六四被捕 涉煽動意圖、行為不檢等
This year marks the 36th anniversary of June 4, and Victoria Park has gone six consecutive years without a candlelight vigil organised by the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China. Chief Executive John Lee said yesterday (3 June) that any unlawful acts would be dealt with decisively and strictly in accordance with the law, and that legal responsibility for acts endangering national security would be pursued to the fullest extent. The Collective Memory reviewed the number of arrests and prosecutions related to June 4 over the past five years. At least 67 people were arrested or charged in connection with June 4-related activities, involving inciting and participating in an unauthorised assembly, sedition and obstructing police officers in the execution of their duty. More than 30 people were also taken away over alleged breaches of the peace.
What conduct constitutes a criminal offence? A performance artist commemorating June 4 was arrested for disorderly conduct in a public place; another person was arrested on a sedition charge for silently displaying words of commemoration. A mainland student who planned to display a vertical banner of the “Pillar of Shame” on June 4 was convicted of attempted sedition, deported after serving the sentence and lost contact with family and friends. In addition, seven members of the Hong Kong Alliance were charged with failing to provide information and inciting subversion of state power. Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho have to date been deprived of their freedom for more than 1,360 days and 1,150 days.
今年是六四 36 年,維園連續第六年沒有支聯會的燭光集會。特首李家超昨(3日)表示,對任何違法行為,會果斷嚴格依法處理,對危害國家安全行為會追究法律責任到底。《集誌社》盤點過去五年六四的拘控數字,針對六四相關活動,至少有 67 人被捕或被控,涉及煽惑及參與未經批准集結、煽動、阻差辦公等,也有逾 30 人被指涉破壞社會安寧被帶走。
什麼行為會構成罪行?有悼念六四的行為藝術家,被警方以公眾地方行為不檢拘捕;有人靜默展示悼念字句,被以煽動罪拘捕;也有內地生擬在六四展示「國殤之柱」直幡,被控企圖煽動罪成,刑滿後遭遣返、與親友失聯。此外,支聯會七人被控拒交資料及煽動顛覆國家政權,鄒幸彤、李卓人、何俊仁至今已失自由逾 1,360 日及 1,150 日。

47人案|第二批被告出獄 岑子杰「落區」、偕友飲茶 李嘉達、王百羽清減
The second batch of four defendants in the 47-case—岑子杰, Roy Hoi Pong Tam, 王百羽 and 李嘉達—were released from prison on Friday (the 30th). They were driven away early in the morning in nine vehicles, all with their curtains drawn, while the police presence outside the prison was lighter than last time. Police officers stood guard near the defendants’ residences, with one officer reminding reporters not to enter private areas of the buildings.
The media filmed 岑子杰 and 李嘉達 returning home, with both going upstairs alone. 岑 smiled when he got out of the car and told reporters, “Let me spend some time with my family.” About three hours later, he went out again and was interviewed downstairs. He said he had no plans to leave Hong Kong for the time being and that he had felt warmth from outside the prison walls during his imprisonment. He subsequently went to Lai Yuen, the district where he had previously been elected district councillor, to meet residents and have tea with members of the League of Social Democrats.
李嘉達 was noticeably slimmer. He wore a mask when returning home and replied “Thank you for your hard work” to reporters’ questions. 王百羽 uploaded a recent photograph to Facebook in the morning, showing that he was well-built and noticeably slimmer. As for Roy Hoi Pong Tam, he was also reportedly released and had returned to his family.
47 人案第二批 4 名被告岑子杰、譚凱邦、王百羽、李嘉達周五(30 日)出獄。他們清晨由車接載離開,共有 9 輛車,全部拉上窗簾,不過監獄外的警力較上次少。被告的住所附近有警員戒備,有警員提醒記者不要進入大廈私人地方。
傳媒拍到岑子杰、李嘉達回家的畫面,二人獨自上樓。岑下車時面露笑容,向記者稱「等我陪一陪我啲屋企人」,約 3 小時後再出門,在樓下受訪,稱暫時無意離港,繫獄時感受到牆外的溫暖。他隨後往曾當選區議員的選區瀝源,見街坊及與社民連成員飲茶。
李嘉達身型清瘦不少,回家時戴上口罩,對記者提問答「辛苦晒」。王百羽則在早上,在 Facebook 上載近照,身型健壯、清減不少。至於譚凱邦,據悉他亦已經出獄,回到家人身邊。

香港獨立黨案被告認串謀煽動分裂囚5年 刑期上訴被駁回 向終審法院申上訴許可
A 41-year-old Portuguese man Wong Kin Chung, identified as the chairman of the “Hong Kong Independence Party”, was arrested when he entered Hong Kong in 2022. He pleaded guilty to the National Security Law offence of “conspiracy to incite others to commit secession” and was sentenced to five years in prison. He applied for leave to appeal against his sentence, arguing that he had not received the full reduction for pleading guilty because of the minimum sentencing threshold. The Court of Appeal rejected the application in April this year.
The Court of Final Appeal’s website shows that Wong Kin Chung has applied to the CFA for leave to appeal. According to the Judiciary’s website, the case has not yet been scheduled for a hearing.
被指為「香港獨立黨」主席的 41 歲葡籍男子黃煡聰,2022 年入境時被捕,他承認《國安法》「串謀煽動他人實施分裂國家」罪,被判囚 5 年。他就因刑期下限未獲全數認罪扣減,申請刑期上訴許可,今年 4 月被上訴庭駁回。

FB發「黑警」、「智障法官」等帖文 36歲男子認煽動判囚12個月
A 36-year-old man was accused of posting more than 100 seditious posts and images on Facebook between March 2024 and January this year. He was charged with one count of knowingly publishing publications with a seditious intention. The defendant pleaded guilty at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (8th) and was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment.
In mitigation, barrister Randy Shu Ming Shek, representing the defendant, said most of the 117 posts involved reposting news reports about court judgments and current affairs, and that the content itself did not endanger national security. Although the defendant had added comments, their seriousness was relatively low. The barrister also said only eight of the posts had received one like each, while one image had received one response and the remaining posts had attracted no attention. The posts amounted only to the defendant “venting his emotions by talking to himself”, and were less serious than those in similar cases. The defence proposed a starting point for sentencing of 12 to 15 months.
National Security Law designated judge and Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak said when sentencing that the defendant had repeatedly smeared others through radical and irrational expressions based on allegations with no objective factual basis, intending to create feelings of hatred in society. He had also glorified and promoted violent acts in the “police-stabbing case”, intending to encourage others to carry on criminal behaviour, which amounted to advocating violence. After considering the overall facts of the case, the manner in which the offences were committed and all the circumstances, So Wai-tak said he did not accept the defence’s proposal and adopted 18 months as the starting point for sentencing. The sentence was reduced to 12 months after taking the guilty plea into account, with no other mitigating factors.
一名 36 歲男子被指於 2024 年 3 月至今年 1 月,於 Facebook 發布過百則煽動帖文、圖片等,被控一項「明知而發布具煽動意圖的刊物」罪。被告周四(8 日)於西九龍裁判法院認罪,判囚 12 個月。
大律師石書銘代表被告求情時指,涉案的 117 則帖文,大部分涉轉發有關法庭判決、時事等新聞報道,這些內容本身並非危害國安,雖然被告另加上評論,但嚴重性較低;又指涉案帖文中,只有 8 則有 1 個讚好,以及 1 張有 1 個回應,其他帖文無人理會,獲得注意非常少,僅屬被告「自說自話的情緒宣洩」,認為嚴重性在同類案件中較低,建議採 12 至 15 個月為量刑起點。
《國安法》指定法官、總裁判官蘇惠德判刑時指,被告不停以毫無客觀事實基礎的指控抹黑「通過激進且缺乏理性的表述」,意圖在社會製造仇恨情緒,並歌頌及宣揚「刺警案」中的暴力行為,意圖鼓勵他人傳承犯罪行為,屬鼓吹暴力。蘇惠德表示,考慮整體案情、犯案手法及所有情況後,未接納辯方建議,採納 18 個月為量刑起點,被告認罪扣減至 12 個月,無其他減刑因素。

剛代表加拿大保守黨參選 鄭敬基表弟及表弟婦被國安處帶走
On December 24 last year, police updated a wanted list carrying a reward of 1 million, adding Joseph Tay King Kei, who had moved to Canada, and alleging that the person had violated the Hong Kong National Security Law by inciting secession and colluding with a foreign country or external forces to endanger national security. It is understood that Joseph Tay King Kei’s cousin and cousin’s wife were taken away by the police National Security Department to “assist with an investigation”.

上訴庭裁國安法刑罰分級適用於串謀 不同意47人案原審觀點 律政司:沒提覆核
In April, the Court of Appeal dismissed the defendants’ application for leave to appeal against their sentences in the Hong Kong Independence Party case. It ruled that the sentencing tiers for offences under the National Security Law apply to conspiracy offences, and said it disagreed with the trial court’s view in the 47-person case.
In the case, Au Nok-hin, Chiu Ka-yin and Chung Kam-lun were each found to be a “principal offender”. However, because the three had pleaded guilty and served as prosecution witnesses, among other factors, their sentences were reduced to between six and seven years’ imprisonment, below the 10-year minimum stipulated by the provision. The sentences of the other defendants were within the statutory minimum and maximum limits.
The Court News asked the Department of Justice whether, in response to the Court of Appeal’s judgment, it had sought a review of the sentences imposed on Au Nok-hin and the other two defendants. The department replied on Monday (28th) that it had “not filed an application for sentence review”, adding that as the case had entered the appellate judicial process, it was inappropriate to comment on whether the sentences imposed were appropriate.
上訴庭 4 月駁回「香港獨立黨案」被告申請刑罰上訴許可,裁定《國安法》罪行的刑罰分級適用於串謀罪,又提及不同意 47 人案原審觀點。
該案中,區諾軒、趙家賢和鍾錦麟雖被裁定屬「首要分子」,但因 3 人認罪、出任控方證人等,獲減刑至判囚 6 至 7 年,低於條文的 10 年下限。其餘被告的刑期則在上下限之內。
《法庭線》向律政司查詢,有否因應上訴庭的判決,就區諾軒等 3 人的刑期提出覆核。律政司周一(28 日)回覆指,「沒有提出刑罰覆核申請」,又指由於案件已進入上訴司法程序,不宜就案件的判刑是否合適作任何評論。
