司法覆核警阻採訪原審敗訴 記協放棄上訴
The Hong Kong Journalists Association earlier sought a judicial review, alleging that police deliberately obstructed reporting and used excessive force against journalists during the anti-extradition bill movement. The High Court ruled against the association last December. After seeking legal advice and weighing other factors, including the potential liability for legal costs if an appeal failed and the need to take other judicial cases into account, the association decided not to appeal.
香港記者協會早前提出司法覆核,指警方在反修例運動期間故意妨礙採訪並向記者使用過度武力。高院去年12月裁定記協敗訴。記協指徵詢過法律意見和衡量其他因素,特別是上訴失敗可能要承擔的訟費,以及要兼顧其他司法案件,決定不上訴。

The Police Welfare Fund received more than HK$180 million in donations in 2019–20, involving 580 donations, of which 510, or 85%, were anonymous. Forty-one donations were for amounts of HK$1 million or more. One HK$10 million donation was made by the Hong Kong Friendly Association, which was formed by Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress and the national government.

警故意向直播鏡頭展示《立場》記者身份證 私隱專員裁定違例 警:有不足已訓斥、紀律覆檢
