網媒「FreeHK」記者「姜牧師」阻差辦公罪不成立 官批兩警證供有矛盾分歧
On 1 July last year, after police rejected an application for a procession and maintained a security presence in Causeway Bay, “Keung Ka Wai” Keung Ka Wai, who described himself as a reporter for the online media outlet “FreeHK”, was arrested while livestreaming. He was subsequently charged with one count of obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duty. During the earlier trial, an inspector involved in the case said the defendant had held a selfie stick and obstructed a body search. Magistrate LEUNG Ka-kie ruled today (the 5th) that the two officers involved had only asked the defendant to stop filming and had never told him that the selfie stick constituted an obstruction. Their evidence also contained contradictions and discrepancies. The magistrate further said that footage showed the defendant had been cooperative at the time and had not deliberately intended to obstruct the officers, and found him not guilty.
去年7月1日警方拒絕遊行申請,並於銅鑼灣戒備,自稱為網媒「FreeHK」記者的「姜牧師」姜嘉偉當日直播時被捕,事後被控一項「阻差辦公」罪,早前審訊時涉案督察稱被告手持自拍棍妨礙搜身。裁判官梁嘉琪今(5日)裁決指,兩名涉案警員僅要求被告停止拍攝,從未向被告指出自拍棍構成妨礙,二人證供亦有矛盾分歧。梁官又指,片中可見被告案發時表現合作,沒有刻意阻礙的意圖,裁定他罪名不成立。

6人事隔近3年被控非法集結 兩男認罪還柙候判 杜汶澤創辦的「喱DAO女團」四強成員申請離港一個月被拒
On 29 September 2019, protesters gathered outside Mong Kok Police Station, where clashes between police and protesters occurred. Nearly three years later, four men and two women were charged with five offences, including unlawful assembly and assaulting police. The case was relisted at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts today (29th). Two male defendants pleaded guilty and were remanded until 12 August for sentencing. One of them is also involved in another protest case scheduled for sentencing on 10 August. Three others applied to adjourn their trial until 3 October so that the defendants could obtain medical reports and discuss the case with the prosecution. An application by 18-year-old female student Liu Lok-yee, who had originally been barred from leaving Hong Kong, to leave Hong Kong for one month was refused by Magistrate Sze Cho-yiu. Online information shows that the student is one of the four finalists of the “Lai DAO girl group” founded by Chapman To. According to the group’s website, the girl group will travel to South Korea for training.

前沙田區議員李志宏擾亂秩序罪成 判囚7個月 申保釋候上訴遭拒
On 24 May the year before last, large numbers of people marched in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island to protest the National Anthem Law and the National Security Law. Former Sha Tin district councillor Zhihong (1967) Li was subsequently charged with “creating a disturbance or disorderly conduct in a public place”. He was earlier convicted at the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts and was sentenced today (the 28th) to seven months’ imprisonment. Magistrate Lau Yee-wan said the case was serious. She said that several people dissatisfied with the police had already gathered at the scene, and considered that the defendant’s conduct would cause those present to “join in, shout and hurl abuse”. She also said the court had a duty to protect the police in carrying out their task of maintaining social order. The defence applied for bail pending an appeal, but the application was refused by Magistrate Lau, and Lee Sui was taken into custody immediately.
