反恐第二案｜陪審團第一天退庭商議未有結果 周二將重溫保安員證供
The trial of the second case under the Anti-terrorism Ordinance entered its 160th day at the High Court on Monday (September 1). The jury, comprising seven women and two men, began deliberating at about 11 a.m. and had still not reached a result by 7 p.m. Justice Chan Chung-hang adjourned the case until Tuesday for deliberations to continue. Before the adjournment, a member of the public in the gallery waved towards the defendants’ dock.
When the court reconvened in the evening, the judge told the prosecution and defence that the jury had requested to review audio recordings and witness testimony, including the testimony given in court by a security guard from Wang Cheong Fong. This would be dealt with on Tuesday morning.
Three defendants who had originally been granted bail had their bail temporarily revoked by the judge in the morning and were required to remain in custody pending the verdicts. The defence asked whether arrangements could be made for the defendants’ families to provide them with replacement clothing. The judge said this was a matter for the Correctional Services Department and that he would not deal with it: “I didn’t say no, but this is not something I should interfere with or handle.”
The prosecution said the first to fifth defendants were the masterminds, while the sixth and seventh defendants were implicated in the case. The eighth defendant was not involved in the conspiracy. Details of the case against each defendant are set out in the main text.
反恐條例第二案周一（9 月 1 日）於高院踏入第 160 天審訊，7 女 2 男陪審團早上約 11 時開始退庭商議，至晚上 7 時仍未有結果。法官陳仲衡押後至周二繼續。休庭前，有旁聽人士向被告席揮手。
法官晚上開庭，向控辯雙方指陪審團要求重溫聲音紀錄與證人證供，內容包括宏創方保安員在庭上作供的紀錄，將在周二早上處理。
原有 3 名被告獲准保釋，官早上暫時撤銷，3 人須繼續還押等候裁決。辯方詢問法官，可否安排被告家人提供更換衣物，官指這屬懲教署的事務，他不會處理，「我冇話唔好，呢個唔係我應該干涉、處理嘅事情」。
控方指第一至第五被告均為主謀，第六、七被告被牽涉入案件；第八被告則不涉及在串謀案。各被告案情見內文。

回應除名任建峰 律師會：裁決基於專業行為準則 與政治觀點無關
The Government earlier published a notice in the Gazette announcing that the Law Society’s disciplinary tribunal had found former Progressive Lawyers Group convenor Kevin Yam guilty of serious professional misconduct for publicly calling for sanctions against Hong Kong judicial personnel at a hearing of the United States Congressional-Executive Commission on China on 11 May 2023. He was struck off the roll of solicitors and ordered to pay more than HK$810,000 in costs within 28 days.
The Law Society issued a statement in response to public concern, stressing that the tribunal’s decision was based solely on professional conduct standards and was unrelated to any alleged criminal conduct or political views. It also stressed that disciplinary proceedings are intended to protect the public interest, uphold the reputation of the profession and maintain public confidence in the justice system.

律師會發表聲明回應外界關注，強調審裁組的裁決僅基於專業行為準則，與任何涉嫌犯罪行為或政治觀點無關，又強調紀律處分程序旨在保障公眾利益、維護行業聲譽公眾對司法制度的信心。

督察涉衝燈撞的士致途人被波及 危駕致他人受嚴重傷害罪成 判240小時社服令
A 30-year-old male police inspector stationed in the East Kowloon Region allegedly ran a red light while driving his private car in Mong Kok during the early hours of 2023, when he was off duty, and collided with a taxi. The taxi lost control and knocked down a female pedestrian, who subsequently required an amputation. The inspector was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury to another person and was earlier found guilty.
Acting Judge Kwok Fai (1965) Wong said at the District Court on Monday (September 1) that the contents of the defendant’s report were positive and that he had shown remorse. Taking into account that he had already been remanded for five weeks, the judge sentenced him to 240 hours of community service, disqualified him from driving for two years, and ordered him to complete a driving improvement course at his own expense. The defendant wiped away tears in the dock after the sentence was delivered, while his relatives and friends embraced and cried.

反恐第二案｜官總結兩被告庭上證供 稱與警員商招認換保釋 遭警踩膝留醫多天
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “九十二籤” later claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-Terrorism Ordinance, while the remaining person was charged with attempting to manufacture explosives. All eight pleaded not guilty. The trial entered its 159th day at the High Court on Thursday (28th).
The judge, Chan Chung-hang, summarised the testimony given in court by the first defendant Ho Cheuk Wai and the fourth defendant Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung. He quoted Ho as saying that he had discussed with police officers exchanging a confession for an opportunity to obtain bail. One officer was dissatisfied with his account of a video-recorded interview and threatened him, asking, “Do you want to be kneed in the groin?” The judge said that if Ho had not adopted his own statement in court, the relevant evidence could not be used to implicate the other defendants.
The judge also quoted Cheung as saying that after police officers broke into his home to arrest him, one officer stepped on his left knee and another hit him in the chest. However, the police notebook recorded that Cheung had “slipped in the toilet” and asked him to sign to confirm it. After his arrest, Cheung asked his lawyer for medical treatment and was subsequently hospitalised for 10 days. The case will resume next Monday. The judge is expected to complete his directions, after which the jury will retire to deliberate.

法官陳仲衡總結首被告何卓為、第四被告張家俊在庭上的供詞，引述何稱與警員商討以招認換取保釋機會，有警員不滿其錄影會面的說法，曾威脅問「係咪想被踩春袋」。官指，若何在庭上未有採納自己的口供，相關證供不能用作指證其他被告。
官亦引述張供稱，有警員破門入屋拘捕他後，踩其左膝，亦有警員曾打他的胸口，但在記事冊寫張在「廁所跣低」，要求張簽署確認。張被捕後向律師要求求醫，其後留醫 10 天。案件下周一續，官料將完成引導，陪審團將退庭商議。

The Police National Security Department previously arrested four men, alleging that they were members of the Hong Kong Democratic Founding Alliance and had participated in establishing in Taiwan an organisation aimed at promoting Hong Kong independence. Three of them were charged with one count of conspiracy to secede under the National Security Law, while the remaining man was released on bail pending further investigation. The three men appeared again at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (28th). The prosecution applied for an adjournment pending the transfer of documents to the District Court for trial, and none of the three applied for bail.
National Security Law-designated judge and Chief Magistrate Victor So Wai-tak adjourned the case until 22 September for a further hearing. The three men were remanded in custody.

黎智英案｜辯方就美台關係等邀法庭行使司法認知 官拒採納押後裁決
Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai is charged with conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and other offences. The case entered its 156th day of trial at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, sitting as the High Court, on Thursday (28), and both sides have completed their closing submissions.
The defence had earlier invited the court to take judicial notice of matters including China’s imposition of sanctions and US-Taiwan relations, accepting them as facts that were generally known. Judge Esther Toh said the matters were irrelevant to the case and should not be admitted as judicial notice. She also said whether Apple Daily was influential and had resonated with the public were submissions by the defence, not evidence. The defence’s final concern was the date of the judgment, and Toh said, “We will notify all parties as soon as possible.”
Lai appeared in court wearing glasses, a white shirt and a beige suit jacket. He smiled and lightly pressed his hand to his chest, put on headphones, and nodded and clasped his hands when members of the public gallery greeted him. When Lai saw a friend, he opened his mouth wide in surprise before smiling. At the end of the hearing, Lai waved to the public gallery and spoke with his lawyers through a glass window for several minutes.

辯方早前就中國實施制裁、美台關係等事宜，邀請法庭採取司法認知，接納為「人所共知」的事實。法官杜麗冰認為與案無關，不宜採納司法認知﹐又指《蘋果》是否具影響力、引起大眾共鳴，屬辯方的陳詞非證據。辯方最後關注裁決日期，杜麗冰指「我們會盡快通知各方」。
黎智英戴眼鏡、穿白色恤衫、米白色西裝外套出庭，黎微笑輕按心口、戴上耳機，當旁聽人士與他打招呼時點頭、雙手合十。黎看到一名友人時張大嘴巴，面露驚訝後掛上笑容。散庭時，黎向旁聽席揮手，另隔著玻璃窗與律師談話數分鐘。

世盃外播國歌時背向球場草地 青年侮辱國歌罪成 判180小時社服令
During last year’s World Cup Asian qualifier between Hong Kong and Iran at Hong Kong Stadium, a 19-year-old man was alleged to have turned his back on the pitch while the national anthem was played. He was convicted of insulting the national anthem after trial and was sentenced to 180 hours of community service at Eastern Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (27th). Defence counsel Leung Lai-kwok asked the court to impose a community service order of 160 hours, saying that the defendant was willing to give priority to completing the order even if it meant giving up debating or other extracurricular activities. Counsel submitted that the impact of the sentence on the defendant over the coming year would already be sufficient.
Magistrate Lam Tsz-hong said that the defendant’s conduct was not among the most serious forms of insulting the national anthem. He described the defendant as filial and diligent. Although the defendant had pleaded not guilty, his dispute was limited to whether his conduct legally amounted to an insult, and he nevertheless deeply regretted what he had done. The magistrate considered the risk of reoffending to be low.
The magistrate added that, although the sentence would affect the defendant’s extracurricular activities, he had to bear the consequences of his conduct.
去年世界盃亞洲區外圍賽在香港大球場上演港隊對伊朗隊賽事，19 歲男生被指於奏放國歌時背向球場草地，經審訊後被裁定侮辱國歌罪成，周三（27 日）在東區裁判法院，被判處 180 小時社會服務令。
辯方大律師梁麗幗稱，望可判處 160 小時的社會服務令，指被告願意放棄辯論或其他課外活動優先執行，相信刑罰對被告在未來一年的影響已經足夠。
裁判官林子康指出，被告的侮辱行為並非最嚴重一類，其性格孝順、勤奮，雖然不認罪，但只對行為是否構成侮辱有保留，對自己的行為仍深感後悔，相信重犯機會低。官指，雖然刑罰對課外活動有影響，惟被告須為行為付出代價。

反恐第二案｜官總結醫生證供 指兩被告觸痛、傷勢非先天 開結處理首被告供詞
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Sticks” later claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-terrorism Ordinance, while the remaining person was charged with attempting to manufacture explosives. All eight pleaded not guilty, and the trial at the High Court entered its 158th day on Wednesday (27th). Two defendants in the case were taken to hospital after their arrests and alleged that they had been assaulted by police officers. Judge Alex Lee Wan-tang summarised the medical evidence. One doctor said that, when examining the first defendant, Ho Cheuk-wai, tenderness was found on his forehead and chest, together with areas of redness. Another doctor considered that the fracture to the left knee of the fourth defendant, Cheung Ka-chun, was caused by an external injury rather than by a congenital condition.
The judge also began summarising Ho Cheuk-wai’s testimony. Ho said that a protester known as “Rachel” had offered to pay his rent in exchange for storing protest-related supplies at his unit in Mega Cube, and had mentioned making petrol bombs there. Ho also said that he and the seventh defendant had originally met online before later developing a romantic relationship.
The trial will continue on Thursday.

案中兩名被告在被捕後送院，並指稱遭警員毆打。法官陳仲衡總結醫生證供，其中一人指檢查首被告何卓為時，發現其額頭、胸口有觸痛，亦有紅斑。而另一醫生認為，第四被告張家俊的左膝骨折屬外來傷勢，不是其先天性問題所致。
官亦開始總結何卓為的供詞，他指一名示威者「Rachel」提出，付他租金以換取在其宏創方單位擺放示威物資，對方提及在單位製造汽油彈。何又提及與第七被告本為網友關係，後來發展成情侶。案件周四續。
