拒交資料案 國安警至少14次拒答問題 官認「徒勞無功」 辯方要求重新審視可披露資料
Chow Hang-tung criticised the prosecution’s allegations as misleading, citing its claim that “Organisation 2” and the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China had a common director, “Person 2”. In fact, “Person 2” had never served as a director of both organisations at the same time. Hung Ngai, the acting senior superintendent of the National Security Department responsible for the investigation, nevertheless consistently chose not to answer. The witness refused to answer Chow’s questions at least 14 times and left the courtroom at least five times while the parties argued over whether public interest immunity applied. The prosecution also repeatedly objected to the defence’s questions. Law Tak-chuen, the national security law designated judge and Chief Magistrate, said Chow’s cross-examination was like “guessing” and “futile”. The defence ultimately asked for a review of the disclosable materials on the grounds that the fairness of the trial was affected. Law may convene the case’s fourth closed-door hearing next Thursday.
鄒幸彤今批控方指控誤導，如稱「組織2」與支聯會有共同董事「人士2」，但事實上「人士2」從未同時任雙方董事，惟負責調查的國安處署理高級警司洪毅一律選擇不回答。證人今至少14次拒答鄒幸彤問題、至少5次避席待雙方爭拗 PII 是否適用，控方亦多次反對辯方提問，國安法指定法官、主任裁判官羅德泉直言鄒盤問如「猜謎」、屬「徒勞無功」。辯方終以影響公平審訊為由，要求重新審視可披露資料，羅德泉或將於下周四召開本案第4次閉門聆訊。

Cheng Wai-ming, 64, was convicted of rioting and conspiracy to wound and was sentenced to four years and three months in prison on Thursday (the 27th) (see separate report), becoming the eighth white-clad person to be convicted.
The Stand News reviewed the two white-clad men riot cases concluded to date. Four of the nine defendants—Tang Wai-sun, Alex Lap Kee Choi, Zhirong Wang and Cheng Wai-ming—had disputed that they were among those shown in the footage presented to the court. The two District Court judges respectively ruled, based on features including appearance and clothing, that three were attackers that night and convicted them. Wong was acquitted. The Department of Justice has appealed, with the appeal scheduled to be dealt with in May 2023.

支聯會拒交資料案｜鄒幸彤盤問提「天安門大屠殺」 遭控方反對 官下令改用「事件」
During questioning, Chow Hang-tung referred several times to the “Tiananmen Massacre” (Tiananmen Massacre). Prosecutor Cheung Cheuk-kin asked Chow to use “1989 Incident” (1989 Incident) instead. Chow at one point asked the prosecution whether it denied that there had been a “killing” that day. Lo Tak-chuen, the National Security Law-designated judge, ultimately accepted the prosecution’s request, saying that the court would not discuss politics in order to ensure fairness, that “incident” was a more neutral term, and that everyone understood what it referred to.
盤問期間，鄒幸彤數度提到「天安門大屠殺」（Tiananmen Massacre），主控張卓勤要求鄒改用「1989 年事件」（1989 Incident）。鄒一度反問控方「是否否認那天有一場殺戮（killing）」。《國安法》指定法官羅德泉最終接納控方要求，指法庭為保公正性不談政治，「事件」一詞較中性，又指大家都明意指甚麼。
