涉揮英國國旗 王婆婆認非法集結囚32周 稱案發後2日於內地被「國安」審問
The 66-year-old Alexandra Wong Fung Yiu, known as “Wang Po-po”, was accused of waving a British flag and abusing police officers amid crowds at Quarry Bay Station and Tai Koo Station in August 2019. She was charged with two counts of unlawful assembly. Wang pleaded not guilty, voluntarily withdrew her bail in February, and was brought to the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts today (13th) for trial. Chief Magistrate Ada Shun Yee Yim sentenced her to 32 weeks’ imprisonment. Wang also disclosed that, when she returned to the mainland two days after the incident, she was questioned by the local “national security” authorities about the case and detained for more than 40 days. When Magistrate Yim questioned the matter, the prosecution said it could contact mainland police but would need three to four months for a reply. The defendant said there was no need to wait. Yim ultimately said that, as the defendant had not been prosecuted elsewhere, this did not warrant a reduction in sentence.

七旬翁遭磚擊中亡 兩青年誤殺罪不成立 暴動罪成還柙候判
During the “three strikes” action on 13 November 2019, two groups of people allegedly argued over roadblocks outside North District Town Hall. A cleaner in his seventies was struck on the head by a brick and died the following day. Two youths, aged 16 and 17, denied three charges of murder, wounding with intent and rioting. After the prosecution had completed presenting its evidence, Judge Esther Toh Lai-ping ruled that there was insufficient evidence for murder and ordered the charge to be amended to manslaughter. After a 16-day trial, the jury deliberated for about seven hours before finding the two not guilty of manslaughter and wounding with intent, but guilty of rioting by a large majority. They were remanded in custody pending sentencing.

沙田警民衝突事隔三年 面部骨折警入稟向警務處長索償
During a large-scale march in Sha Tin on 14 July 2019, clashes between police and the public broke out at Sha Tin New Town Plaza after nightfall. Three men earlier pleaded guilty to rioting. The case facts stated that two plain-clothes police officers were punched and kicked and attacked with hard objects by protesters while on duty, and were sentenced to 40 and 48 months’ imprisonment respectively. One of the officers had earlier filed a claim for damages against the three defendants.

青衣校門縱火罪成 中四男生判入教導所 官:懲罰更生並重 比判監好
In July 2020, Lok Sin Tong Leung Chik Wai Memorial School in Tsing Yi was vandalised and set on fire. A Form Four student, who was 18 at the time of the incident, was found guilty of arson and sentenced to a detention centre at the District Court on Thursday (7th). Judge Dominic Wai Kuen Lam said the case occurred during a period of social unrest and that the defendant had planned the offence in advance. If sentenced to imprisonment, the appropriate term would have been three years. However, considering the defendant’s young age, the judge considered a detention-centre sentence preferable to imprisonment, as it would punish and deter the serious arson offence while enabling the defendant to reform through correctional training.
2020 年 7 月,青衣樂善堂梁植偉紀念中學遭破壞及縱火,案發時 18 歲的中四男生被裁定縱火罪成,周四( 7 日)在區域法院被判入教導所。
法官林偉權指,本案發生於社會動盪時刻,被告有預謀,若判處監禁,合適刑期應為 3 年。惟考慮被告年輕,法官認為判處教導所,既能就嚴重縱火罪作出懲罰、阻嚇,被告又能在懲教鍛鍊中更生,比判監較好。

建制派前區議員林婉濱誹謗法團罪成判賠8萬元兼付訟費 官斥被告為攻擊政敵散布陰謀論
Former pro-establishment district councillor Phyllis Yuen Pun Lam was accused of mailing letters to residents in 2018 alleging that the Incorporated Owners of Allway Gardens had “possibly pre-arranged” the estate’s management company, forcing residents to “swallow” a 35% increase. The corporation brought a defamation action against Phyllis Yuen Pun Lam in the District Court and won today (7th), with Phyllis Yuen Pun Lam ordered to pay the corporation HK$80,000 in damages and legal costs.
