警員 10.1 屯門驅示威者遭腐蝕液體擊中 入稟索償指警務處長錯判形勢
On October 1, 2019, police rejected the Civil Human Rights Front’s application to hold a march, and members of the public instead staged protests across multiple districts. During the dispersal of protesters at Tuen Mun Town Hall, some protesters threw corrosive liquid at police. An officer on duty at the time filed a claim in the District Court on Monday (the 26th), about three years later, alleging that the Commissioner of Police had misjudged the situation, leaving him and his colleagues outnumbered. He was splashed with corrosive liquid on his left forearm and chest and is seeking compensation. The claim did not specify an amount.

警指「星火同盟」兩人涉潛逃 高院批准充公 7000 萬元 聆訊不公開、涉案人沒律師代表
Police held a press conference outside the High Court on Monday (26th), saying that, as two of the people involved had fled Hong Kong in 2020 and 2021 respectively, police applied to the court for a forfeiture order. The High Court approved the forfeiture of approximately HK$70 million in funds that had previously been frozen. Chief Superintendent Alan Chau Cheung-yau of the Financial Intelligence and Investigation Bureau said that, because the two arrested people had absconded, forfeiture proceedings were initiated in accordance with the law. He said that, as the court hearing was not open to the public, it would not be convenient to disclose the reasons for the court’s decision or information such as whether lawyers were involved in the case.

被控圖搶警槍、罪成囚 7 年 紮鐵工申上訴許可獲批
Netizens launched the “Blossom in 18 Districts” action on 13 October 2019. Several men and women were accused of attempting to snatch a suspect and “flying-kicking” police officers in Mong Kok. A 31-year-old steel fixer was convicted of three offences, including attempted firearm snatching and assaulting police officers, and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment. He received the heaviest sentence among protesters in anti-extradition bill cases heard in the District Court.
The steel fixer appealed against his sentence, with the application heard by the High Court’s Court of Appeal on Friday (23rd). The applicant’s side questioned why the trial judge Adriana Noelle Tse Ching had not ruled that the attempted firearm snatching constituted a joint offence, but said during sentencing that the applicant and another man had jointly assaulted the police officer. It was alleged that the judge had sentenced him by applying the principle of joint enterprise.

紮鐵工不服判刑上訴,周五(23 日)在高院上訴庭審理。申請方質疑,原審法官謝沈智慧沒有裁定企圖搶槍是共同犯罪,卻在判刑時指申請人與另一男子共同施襲,疑考慮「夥同犯罪」原則判刑。
