反恐第二案｜稱共用TG帳戶 第四被告認記錯同事中文名「識朋友唔會對身份證」
Explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train carriage in early 2020, and the Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Lots” subsequently claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-Terrorism Ordinance, while the remaining person was charged with “attempting to make explosives”. All eight pleaded not guilty. The trial at the High Court entered its 122nd day on Tuesday (24th), with fourth defendant Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung continuing to give evidence.
Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung earlier testified that his Telegram account, “Alpha Force”, was shared with colleagues including Rachel Rachel Tze Yan Leung, and denied sending the messages in question. During cross-examination, he also changed his account and admitted that he had left Hong Kong in January 2020 but failed to board a flight to Taiwan and subsequently re-entered Hong Kong.
The prosecution showed a passenger list on Tuesday and said the person originally travelling with Cheung was a woman surnamed Lai, rather than Rachel Tze Yan Leung. Under cross-examination, Cheung admitted that Rachel was the woman surnamed Lai and not Rachel Tze Yan Leung, and said he did not know Rachel’s full Chinese name: “When you know a friend, you wouldn’t check their identity card like a police officer.” The prosecution challenged him for lying to deny being “Alpha Force” and said his evidence contained numerous discrepancies. Cheung denied all the allegations. The trial will continue on Wednesday.
2020 年初，明愛醫院、羅湖港鐵車廂被發現有爆炸品，Telegram 頻道「九十二籤」事後承認責任。7 人被控《反恐條例》罪名，餘下 1 人被控以「企圖製造炸藥」罪。8 人不認罪，周二（24 日）於高院踏入第 122 天審訊，第四被告張家俊繼續作供。
張家俊早前供稱，其 Telegram 帳戶「Alpha Force」與同事 Rachel 梁芷欣等人共用，否認是他發出涉案的訊息，他另在盤問下，改口承認曾在 2020 年 1 月出境，但未能登上前往台灣的客機，因此重新入境。
控方周二展示乘客列表，指原定與張同行的人，是一名黎姓女子而非梁芷欣。張在盤問下承認 Rachel 是該黎姓女子而非梁芷欣，又指不知道 Rachel 的中文全名，「認識一個朋友，你唔會好似差佬咁對身份證」。控方質疑他為了否認是「Alpha Force」而撒謊，證供有多處分歧，張一概否認。審訊周三續。

創「金錢自由」符號藝術家認刑毀 判囚3周緩刑2年 收藏家稱被告只為美學價值
A street artist who created graffiti featuring the “Money Freedom” symbol was accused of damaging shop or government walls, awnings, hoardings, stalls and electricity boxes at 20 different locations in Central and Sheung Wan in January 2025. The artist faced 20 charges of criminal damage and was sentenced on Monday (23rd) at Eastern Magistrates’ Courts.
The prosecution and defence reached an agreement under which the defendant admitted 12 charges, while the prosecution agreed to withdraw the remaining charges. The defendant received mitigation letters from an arts professor and collector clients. One collector’s letter said the defendant had only hoped to create aesthetic value for the city and give back to society. The defence said the defendant was willing to apologise to those affected and clean the graffiti or provide other compensation, such as painting for the victims free of charge.
Magistrate Chee Hong Lam sentenced the defendant to three weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for 24 months. The defendant was also ordered to pay total compensation of $11,000, and the ink pens and ink involved in the case were confiscated. The defendant remains remanded in custody pending trial in another case arising from 2023 involving graffiti of the same symbol.
創作「金錢自由」符號塗鴉的街頭藝術家，被指 2025 年 1 月，於中、上環一帶 20 個不同地方，損壞店舖或屬於政府的牆身、帳蓬、圍板、排檔及電箱等，被控 20 項刑事損壞罪，周一（23 日）在東區裁判法院判刑。
控辯雙方達成協議，被告承認 12 項控罪，控方同意撤銷其餘控罪。被告獲藝術系教授及收藏家客戶撰求情信，當中收藏家客戶的求情信，提到被告只是希望為都巿創造美學價值，及回饋社會。辯方指，被告願向受影響人士致歉，自行清潔塗鴉或以其他方式補償，例如免費為受害者作畫。
裁判官林子康判處被告監禁 3 星期，緩刑 24 個月執行。官同時判被告需支付總額 11,000 元的賠償金，並充公涉案的墨水筆及墨水。被告因另一宗案發於 2023 年，涉同一符號的塗鴉案，須繼續還押候審。

黎智英案52日供詞整合．國際聯繫篇｜黎是否「外國代理人」？有否呼籲制裁？
The national security trial of Jimmy Lai began in December 2023. Six people, including senior Apple Daily executives and members of the Stand With Hong Kong (SWHK) team, testified as prosecution witnesses at various stages. In July 2024, the judge ruled that a prima facie case had been established. Four months later, Lai, who had been remanded in custody for nearly four years, took the stand. He completed 52 days of testimony on 6 March 2025. At the end of the defence questioning, the defence said: “This is Mr Lai’s ‘epic evidence’ testimony.”
The Witness has compiled the contents of the 52 days of testimony into an international-links section and an Apple Daily editorial section (covered in a separate article), to make the key points of Lai’s evidence easier to understand. This article focuses on Lai’s relations with foreign political figures, the Stand With Hong Kong team and the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), as well as whether Lai himself called for sanctions after the National Security Law took effect.
Under cross-examination, Lai confirmed that he had paid his own expenses to introduce former US officials to Tsai Ing-wen, then president of Taiwan, but denied being a “middleman” between the US and Taiwan. He also denied requesting sanctions through a “foreign agent”. Regarding SWHK and IPAC, Lai said that he only learned of the two organisations in court. He confirmed that he had advanced payment for a global newspaper advertising campaign, but said he did not know the identity of the recipient at the time. The prosecution cited conversations between Lai and IPAC founder Luke de Pulford as evidence that Lai supported the organisation; Lai said he had replied merely out of courtesy.
The prosecution also alleged that Lai called for sanctions through Twitter posts and the “Live Chat” programme. Lai admitted that he advocated sanctions before the National Security Law took effect, but not afterwards, because he knew that requesting sanctions was an offence “tantamount to suicide”. He also said that, even when sanctions were mentioned, he was merely stating facts and providing analysis.
2023 年 12 月，黎智英國安案開審，《蘋果》高層、重光團隊（SWHK）成員等 6 人，先後以控方證人身分作供，法官於 2024 年 7 月裁定表證成立。4 個月後，還押近 4 年的黎智英出庭作供，至 2025 年 3 月 6 日完成 52 日作供。辯方在提問尾聲說：「這就是黎先生的『史詩式』（epic evidence）證供」。
《法庭線》整合 52 日供詞內容，分成國際聯繫篇、《蘋果》編採篇（見另稿），讓讀者更易理解黎智英供詞重點，本篇內容圍繞黎與外國政要、重光團隊、「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」(IPAC) 的關係，以及黎本人於《國安法》後有否呼籲制裁。
黎盤問下確認，曾自費介紹美國前官員予時任台灣總統蔡英文認識，但否認自己是美台「中間人」，亦否認透過「外國代理人」請求制裁。至於 SWHK、IPAC，黎指在庭上才知悉這兩個組織。他確認，曾就全球登報行動墊支 ，但當時不知道收款方身分。控方引黎與 IPAC 創辦人裴倫德的對話，證明黎支持該組織，黎指僅出於禮貌回覆。
控方另指，黎透過 Twitter 帖文、「Live Chat」節目呼籲制裁。黎承認，《國安法》生效前提倡制裁，但《國安法》生效後沒有，因知道請求制裁是罪行「等同自殺」，又指即使提及制裁，僅陳述事實及作出分析。

黎智英案52日供詞整合．《蘋果》編採篇｜黎有否下達編採指示？專欄是否煽動？
The national security trial of Jimmy Lai began in December 2023. Six people, including senior Apple Daily executives and members of the Stand With Hong Kong (SWHK) team, subsequently testified for the prosecution. In July 2024, the judge ruled that the prosecution had established a case to answer. Four months later, Lai, who had been remanded in custody for nearly four years, took the stand and completed 52 days of testimony on 6 March 2025. At the end of the questioning, the defence said: “This is Mr Lai’s ‘epic evidence’ testimony.”
The Witness has compiled the contents of the 52 days of testimony into an Apple Daily editorial operations section and an international connections section (covered in a separate report), to make the key points of Lai’s testimony easier to understand. This article focuses on the founding of Apple Daily, its editorial structure and the 161 articles in the case.
In his testimony, Lai rejected one by one the evidence given by senior Apple Daily executives, including claims that he had “the final say” and exercised “cage autonomy”. He stressed that although he had a strong personality, his management style did not involve forcing others. He also said that he did not interfere with editorial work, but acknowledged that he had issued instructions on three matters as “exceptions”. These included instructing Cheung Kim-hung to “achieve the greatest possible effect” in reporting on the meeting between Anson Chan and Mike Pence, and telling Chan Pui-man to “do more on the voices of young people” in relation to the July 1 Legislative Council storming incident.
Another focus of the testimony was Lai’s 33 newspaper columns. The prosecution alleged that through the articles Lai encouraged people to take to the streets, advocated violent protests and “poisoned the minds of impressionable people”. Lai denied all the allegations, saying that he had only stated facts and offered speculation and analysis.
Lai also said that after the National Security Law took effect, the red lines were unclear and Apple Daily’s content had to change, and that he had reminded colleagues to be careful. He acknowledged that he would “play at the margins”, but said that if conduct was clearly unlawful, “I would not be so stupid as to do it”. When Apple Daily ceased operation on 24 June 2021, Lai denied having any role in its closure and reiterated that Apple Daily’s editorial operations were independent.
2023 年 12 月，黎智英國安案開審，《蘋果》高層、重光團隊（SWHK）成員等 6 人，先後以控方證人身分作供，法官於 2024 年 7 月裁定表證成立。4 個月後，還押近 4 年的黎智英出庭作供，至 2025 年 3 月 6 日完成 52 日作供。辯方在提問尾聲說：「這就是黎先生的『史詩式』（epic evidence）證供」。
《法庭線》整合 52 日供詞內容，分成《蘋果》編採篇、國際聯繫篇（見另稿），讓讀者更易理解黎供詞重點，本篇內容圍繞《蘋果》創立過程、編採架構及涉案 161 篇文章。
黎作供時逐一反駁《蘋果》高層供詞，包括被指「一錘定音」、「鳥籠自主」，強調自己個性雖強硬，但管理風格非強逼他人。他又指，自己不干預編採工作，但承認曾就 3 件事「例外」下達指示，包括就陳方安生與彭斯會面的新聞，指示張劍虹「做到最大效果」、七一立法會衝擊事件，著陳沛敏「多做年輕人心聲」。
作供另一焦點，是 33 篇黎專欄文章。控方指，黎透過文章鼓勵群眾上街、鼓吹暴力示威、「荼毒易受影響人士的思想」，黎一概否認，指僅陳述事實、推測及分析。
黎又指《國安法》生效後，紅線模糊，《蘋果》內容必須改變，曾提醒同事小心。他承認會「打擦邊球」，但若行為明顯違法，「我不會蠢到去做」。至 2021 年 6 月 24 日《蘋果》停運，黎否認在停運上肩負任何角色，重申《蘋果》編採獨立。

反恐第二案｜第四被告否認製作爆炸裝置遙控、屬主謀之一 質疑警方專家供詞牽強
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train carriage. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Lots” later claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-Terrorism Ordinance, while one remaining defendant was charged with attempting to manufacture explosives. All eight pleaded not guilty. On Wednesday (the 18th), the trial at the High Court entered its 119th day, with fourth defendant Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung continuing to give evidence.
The prosecution suggested that Cheung was responsible for making the remote controls for the explosive devices in the case and placing them in a unit at Hung Cheong Fong rented by first defendant Ho Cheuk Wai for others to use, making him one of the masterminds. Cheung denied this, saying, “I have no relevant knowledge, so I disagree.”
The prosecution also cited an expert witness who said that although the voltage of batteries found at Cheung’s company was unsuitable for the circuitry involved in the case, they could be used with another device to reduce the voltage. Cheung responded, “In reality, no one would do that,” and described the evidence as “forced”. The case will continue on Thursday.
2020 年初，明愛醫院、羅湖港鐵車廂被發現有爆炸品，Telegram 頻道「九十二籤」事後承認責任。7 人被控《反恐條例》罪名，餘下 1 人被控以「企圖製造炸藥」罪。8 人不認罪，周三（18 日）於高院踏入第 119 天審訊，第四被告張家俊繼續作供。
控方質疑，張在案中是負責製作爆炸裝置的遙控，並放在首被告何卓為租用的宏創方單位，以供其他人使用，屬主謀之一。張否認，稱「我無相關知識，所以唔同意」。
控方又引述專家證人指，雖然在張公司搜出電池的電壓，不適用於涉案電路板，但可配合另一裝置減壓。張反駁指，「現實上無人會咁做」，並形容相關證供「夾硬」。案件周四續。

反恐第二案｜第四被告否認曾為將軍澳爆炸案「踩線」 不同意負責安排車輛
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train compartment, and 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, and the trial at the High Court entered its 118th day on Tuesday (17th). The fourth defendant, Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung, continued giving evidence.
Based on records from the Octopus card involved and a TG group, the prosecution said Cheung drove to Tseung Kwan O on 7 March 2020 to “scout” the site for the bombing the following day. Cheung disagreed, explaining that he had previously replaced his Octopus card and that the Octopus card shown in the records “was not the one I was using”.
The prosecution also cited TG group messages showing that members had discussed purchasing a “ghost car” and how to deal with the bomb used in the Tseung Kwan O bombing, and said Cheung was responsible for arranging the vehicle. Cheung agreed that he had experience finding vehicles through normal channels, but said he did not know what “ghost car” meant and denied being responsible for arranging the vehicle. The trial continues on Wednesday.

控方據涉案八達通及 TG 群組紀錄，指出張在 2020 年 3 月 7 日駕車前往將軍澳，為翌日的爆炸案「踩線」。張不同意，解釋此前已更換八達通卡，紀錄顯示的八達通「唔係我揸手」。
控方另引述 TG 群組訊息，顯示成員曾討論購入「鬼車」，以及如何處理用於將軍澳爆炸案的炸彈，指出張負責安排車輛。張同意有從正常途徑尋找車輛的經驗，但稱不知「鬼車」的意思，亦否認負責安排車輛。審訊周三續。

反恐第二案｜上周曾否認離境 第四被告改稱欲赴台搶口罩因涉去世女友「選擇遺忘」
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train compartment. The Telegram channel “92 Signs” subsequently 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 117th day on Monday (the 16th). The fourth defendant, Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung, continued giving evidence.
Regarding whether Cheung had left Hong Kong for Taiwan in early 2020, he denied this last week but acknowledged on Monday that he had travelled abroad, saying he had planned to go to Taiwan to get masks but ultimately abandoned the plan after missing his flight. The prosecution and the judge questioned why Cheung had given two different accounts. Cheung explained that on that day he had attended a performance with his girlfriend, who later died, for the last time, saying, “Because she had passed away, I chose to forget about things concerning her,” describing this as a “protective mechanism”.
Cheung also said that a colleague drove him away after he missed the flight. The judge questioned how Cheung could have left Hong Kong without his passport, and why the colleague would have been waiting for him in the airport car park. Cheung said he habitually kept his passport in his backpack, and that his colleague knew time was tight and anticipated that he would be unable to board the flight. The case continues on Tuesday.

針對張有否於 2020 年初離境赴台，張於上周曾否認，至周一則承認曾出境，稱打算赴台搶口罩，惟最終趕不上航班而作罷。控方和法官質疑，張兩次說法不同，張解釋當日與後來去世的女友最後一次看表演，「因為佢走咗，我選擇遺忘佢啲嘢」，形容是「保護機制」。
張又指，錯過航班後由同事載走。官關注，張沒有護照如何離境，同事又為何會在機場停車場等他？張指，習慣將護照放在背囊，又指同事知道時間緊逼，預計他未能登機。案件周二續。

管浩鳴：陳同佳情況未有改變 未離開現在居住地方
Chan Tong-kai, the Taiwan murder case suspect at the centre of the 2019 anti-extradition bill protests, has lived in the “deep mountains” since being released from prison in Hong Kong in October 2019, nearly six years ago. Asked by reporters about Chan’s current situation, Legislative Council member Koo Hoi-ming, who has assisted him, said there had been no change: Chan had never left Hong Kong or his current residence. Koo said Chan’s willingness to surrender himself in Taiwan remained unchanged, but whether he could do so depended on the stance of the Taiwan authorities, and there had been no breakthrough so far. Chan currently has neither a job nor further studies.
Chan is suspected of killing his girlfriend, Poon Hiu-wing, in Taiwan in 2018, concealing her body in a suitcase and abandoning it in the wilderness before fleeing back to Hong Kong. He was arrested in Hong Kong, but because Hong Kong and Taiwan have no mutual legal assistance agreement, he was charged only with money laundering. Poon’s family sought help from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, prompting the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance in 2019 and triggering a series of large-scale protests.
Chan was released on 23 October that year after completing his sentence for money laundering. He lived in a police safe house until 2021, after which Koo said he had arranged for Chan to live in the “deep mountains”. Six years after protesters gathered around Harcourt Road in Admiralty on 12 June 2019 to oppose the Legislative Council’s resumption of the second reading of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance amendment bill, reporters asked Koo, Chan’s guardian, about his current situation. Koo replied in writing: “Chan’s situation has not changed. He has never left Hong Kong, nor has he left the place where he currently lives.” He added that he had spoken to Chan by telephone and that there had been no major change in his situation.
引發2019年反修例事件的主角、台灣殺人案疑犯陳同佳，2019年10月由香港出獄至今近六年，居於「深山」。有記者向協助陳同佳的立法會議員管浩鳴問及對方近況，管浩鳴指陳同佳情況沒改變，從未離開香港，也未有離開過現時居所。他又指陳同佳赴台自首意願不變，能否成行視乎台灣當局取態，至今未有任何突破。目前陳同佳亦沒有工作或進修。
陳同佳涉嫌2018年在台灣殺害女友潘曉穎，藏屍行李篋並棄屍荒野，再潛逃回港。他在港被捕，惟因本港與台方並無司法互助協議，僅被控以洗黑錢罪名。潘的家人向民建聯求助，觸發特區政府在2019年修訂《逃犯條例》，引發連串大型示威。
陳同佳在同年10月23日，就「洗黑錢」罪刑滿出獄，住在警方的安全屋至2021年，及後協助他的立法會議員管浩鳴稱安排對方在「深山」居住。
2019年6月12日，示威者在金鐘夏慤道一帶，抗議立法會恢復《逃犯條例》修訂草案二讀，引發大型衝突。六年過去，有記者向陳同佳的監護人管浩鳴查詢其近況。管浩鳴透過文字回覆：「同佳情況沒有改變，從未離開香港，也未有離開過現在住的地方」，又稱曾與對方通電話，其情況沒有太大變化。

嶺大生賴卓賢參選校董會遭DQ 提覆核指不獲充分機會抗辯
Lai Cheuk-yin, vice-president (external) of the Lingnan University Students’ Union, was disqualified by the university’s election officer last November from standing for election to the Council, Court and Senate after allegedly promoting his candidacy through “unofficial channels”. He earlier filed for judicial review, seeking to overturn the election officer’s decision and the election results. The case was heard in the High Court on Friday (the 13th). After hearing submissions from all parties, Judge Ko Ho-man said he would hand down his judgment on or before July 31.
The applicant argued that when the election officer emailed Lai asking to meet, the purpose of the meeting was not mentioned. Lai was notified of the disqualification at the meeting on the same day and was given no opportunity to defend himself, amounting to procedural unfairness. The respondents argued that the election officer had explained the regulations to candidates at a briefing, and that Lai’s comments in media interviews after being disqualified, criticising the university’s requirements, showed that he understood the rules. They said it would have been unfair to other candidates if the election officer had found that Lai had breached the rules but still allowed him to stand.
After the hearing, Lai responded to an Eastweek report alleging that he had been “plotting to acquire HKFS property”. He reiterated that he merely held the property for the Hong Kong Federation of Students on trust and had obtained no personal benefit.
嶺南大學學生會外務副會長賴卓賢，去年 11 月被指以「非官方渠道」宣傳，遭校方選舉主任 DQ 校董會、諮議會、教務會的參選人資格，他早前入稟申請司法覆核，要求推翻選舉主任的決定及選舉結果。案件周五（13 日）於高等法院進行聆訊，法官高浩文聽畢各方陳詞，將於 7 月 31 日或之前頒判決。
申請方質疑，選舉主任發電郵要求與賴會面時，沒提及目的，同日見面即通知他 DQ 決定，令賴沒有機會抗辯，涉程序不公。答辯方反駁，選舉主任於簡介會已向候選人說明規例，又指賴被 DQ 後受訪曾批評校方要求，可見他清楚規則。如選舉主任斷定賴違規仍容許他參選，會對其他候選人不公。
另外，散庭後，賴回應《東周刊》指控他「謀『學聯』物業」的報道，重申自己只是以信托形式為學聯持有物業，並無個人得益。
