Convicted of inciting secession and jailed for five years, Ma Chun-man released after serving sentence without early release under Article 23

煽動分裂罪成判囚5年 因23條不獲提早釋放 馬俊文刑滿出獄

Ma Chun-man, known as the “second-generation Captain America”, was accused of shouting Hong Kong independence slogans on multiple occasions in 2020. He was convicted after trial of inciting secession and sentenced to five years in prison. Because of new arrangements under Article 23, he was not granted a reduction for good behaviour in prison and was unable to secure early release (see the chronology in the accompanying graphic). On Friday (21st), Ma posted a new selfie on Facebook and said he had been released: “I’m out. It feels as if a lifetime has passed since I went home, yet I feel helpless in the face of the shock of reality. Where should I go in this vast life… Please take good care of yourself and your family.” Ma sought a judicial review over the denial of a sentence reduction in prison, but the High Court and the Court of Appeal rejected his application, saying the arrangement did not constitute additional punishment and did not involve the deprivation of a statutory right.

人稱「第二代美國隊長」馬俊文,被指 2020 年多次叫喊港獨口號,經審訊被裁定「煽動分裂國家」罪成,判囚 5 年。受「23 條」新安排影響,他不獲獄中行為良好減刑,未能提早獲釋(時序見內文圖)。 馬周五(21 日)在 Facebook 發布新自拍照,並表示已出獄,「出冊了。回家的感覺彷如隔世,卻被現實嘅衝擊感到無奈,茫茫人生我該何去何從呢⋯請好好照顧自己,照顧家人」。馬就不獲獄中減刑提司法覆核,高院與上訴庭駁回時指,安排不屬額外懲罰、不涉剝奪法定權利。

Hong Kong Alliance Case | Former Labour Movement Allies and Released National Security Case Defendant Rally in Taiwan to Support Alliance

支聯會案|昔日獲李卓人越洋聲援 工運戰友、國安案獲釋者 台灣集會撐支聯會

The case against the dissolved Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, former chairman Lee Cheuk-yan, former vice-chairman Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, who are charged with inciting subversion of state power, has been repeatedly adjourned. In addition to organisations of Hong Kong people dispersed across different countries holding support events, human rights and labour groups in Taiwan have also launched protests in support. Among those showing support are former labour movement comrades of Lee Cheuk-yan, as well as Taiwanese human rights activist Lee Ming-che, whom the Alliance once supported. He said that eight years ago the Alliance had protested outside the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in support of him, and that today it was his turn to speak up for the Alliance.

Hong Kong Independence Party case defendant denied full guilty-plea discount; bid to challenge sentencing tiers rejected

獨立黨案被告認串謀罪未獲全數減刑 擬爭議刑罰分級不適用 申終極上訴被拒

The Portuguese man Wong Kin Chung, described as the chairman of the Hong Kong Independence Party, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to incite secession. He was sentenced to five years in prison after not receiving the full guilty-plea reduction because of the minimum sentence under the National Security Law. He applied to the Court of Final Appeal for leave to bring a final appeal, intending to argue that the sentencing tiers did not apply to conspiracy offences. The Court of Final Appeal appeal committee, comprising Permanent Judges Lee Yee, Fok Siu-kong and Lam Man-hon, rejected the application on Monday (the 3rd), saying there were no reasonable grounds for granting leave to appeal. In other words, Wong can no longer challenge the Court of Appeal’s decision through an appeal.

被指為「香港獨立黨」主席的葡籍男子黃煡聰,承認「串謀煽動分裂國家」罪,因《國安法》刑期下限未獲全數認罪減刑,判囚 5 年。他向終審法院申請終極上訴許可,擬爭議刑罰分級不適用於串謀罪。 由常任法官李義、霍兆剛及林文瀚組成的終院上訴委員會,周一(3 日)拒絕申請,指案件無合理給予上訴許可的理由。換言之,黃無法再透過上訴挑戰上訴庭決定。

Hong Kong Alliance incitement-to-subversion case: Chow Hang-tung fails to quash indictment; trial to begin in January

支聯會被指煽顛案 鄒幸彤申請撤銷公訴書失敗 案件明年一月開審

The case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chairperson and vice-chairpersons Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho and Chow Hang-tung are charged with “incitement to subvert state power” was heard on Monday (the 3rd) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, sitting temporarily as the High Court, on Chow’s application to quash the indictment. Three designated judges dismissed the application the same day and adjourned the handing down of their judgment until the end of next January. The trial will begin as scheduled on 22 January. Chow argued that the prosecution had not specified what “illegal means” the Alliance was alleged to have used to subvert the state, making it difficult to mount a defence. The judge cited the prosecution’s position that the relevant definition covered acts intended to “end the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership”, and that any means adopted for this purpose would be unconstitutional and unlawful. Chow questioned whether this basis was too broad and unfair, while the judge said the defence could argue that it had not advocated overthrowing the regime, adding: “I can’t see what difficulty there is in the defence.” The judge also disclosed that, in its opening statement, the prosecution alleged that the Alliance had “used negative content targeting the country in the name of so-called democracy or the June Fourth incident to advocate or publicise the organisation and its assertions”. This included “ending one-party rule”, one of the Alliance’s “five-point programme”; the prosecution said the programme “necessarily” involved using unconstitutional and illegal means to subvert the regime.

支聯會及其前正副主席李卓人、何俊仁、鄒幸彤被控「煽動顛覆國家政權」案,周一(3 日)在西九龍裁判法院(暫代高院)處理鄒的撤銷公訴書申請,3 名指定法官即日駁回,押後在明年一月底頒判詞,案件如期 1 月 22 日開審。 鄒爭議控方沒指明支聯會涉煽動以何種「非法手段」顛覆,難以答辯。官引控方立場,指其定義為旨在「結束中共領導的行為」,而出於此目的的任何手段均屬違憲、違法。鄒質疑基礎過闊、不公,官則指辯方循沒鼓吹推翻抗辯,「睇唔到辯護裡面有咩困難喎」。 官亦透露,控方在開案陳詞指控支聯會「以所謂民主或六四事件之名,配合針對國家的負面內容,來鼓吹或宣傳支聯會的組織和主張」,當中包括「五大綱領」之中的「結束一黨專政」,指該綱領「必然」涉以違憲的非法手段顛覆政權。

Tung Tau Estate explosives case: man charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism and other offences; three designated judges to handle case, trial expected to last no more than 40 days

東頭邨爆炸品案 男子被控串謀恐怖活動等罪 3指定法官處理、料審期不多於40天

In May 2022, police arrested a 31-year-old man at Wong Tai Sin’s Tung Tau Estate and seized 20 kilograms of chemical substances at his residence. He was charged under the National Security Law with conspiracy to commit terrorism and other offences. A case management hearing was held at the High Court on Monday (the 3rd), handled by designated judges Andrew Hing Wai Chan, Susana Maria D'Almada Remedios and Amanda Jane Woodcock. It was the first time Amanda Jane Woodcock had handled a national security case since being appointed to the High Court. The defence said it had only recently taken over the case and had not had an opportunity to obtain instructions from the defendant, and sought an adjournment of the case management hearing. Andrew Hing Wai Chan said the trial had originally been scheduled for November next year, but the National Security Law required cases to be dealt with as soon as possible, and requested that an earlier trial date be set. The judge also said that the judges would have to postpone other cases, stating in court: “These National Security Law cases require the three of us to appear together, and will occupy substantial judicial resources.” The court was told that the trial was expected to last no more than 40 days. This is the fifth national security case committed to the High Court for trial without a jury. The Department of Justice said in response that it would not comment on individual cases, adding that the Secretary for Justice would consider the matter in accordance with the law and practical circumstances before directing that a trial need not be conducted with a jury, and that the arrangement in no way diminished any of the defendant’s lawful rights.

2022 年 5 月,警方在黃大仙東頭邨拘捕 31 歲男子,在其住所內檢獲 20 公斤化學物品,他被控《國安法》「串謀恐怖活動」等罪,周一(3 日)在高等法院進行案件管理聆訊,由指定法官陳慶偉、李素蘭、胡雅文處理。這是胡雅文獲委任加入高院後首次負責國安案。 辯方指剛接手案件,未有機會向被告索取指示,希望押後案件管理聆訊。陳慶偉指,本案原擬明年 11 月開審,惟《國安法》規定須盡快處理,要求擬定更早開審日期,又指法官需推遲其他案件,「這種《國安法》案件需要我們 3 人一起出庭,會佔用大量司法資源」。庭上透露,預計審期不多於 40 天。 本案為第五宗交付至高院審訊、不設陪審團的國安案。律政司回覆指,不會評論個別案件,指司長會按法律和實際情況考慮,指示毋須陪審團審理,安排絕無減損被告任何合法權益。

19-year-old woman pleads guilty to sedition over calls to vote to establish ‘Hong Kong Parliament’; says she was urged and manipulated by ex-boyfriend

19歲女子認煽惑鼓勵投票以成立「香港議會」 求情稱受前男友慫恿擺佈

The 19-year-old woman was accused of filming promotional videos between March and May this year with the intention of inciting and encouraging Hong Kong residents to vote to establish a “Hong Kong Parliament”. She pleaded guilty to one count of sedition at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Friday (the 31st) and was remanded in custody until sentencing on November 13. The case alleges that Yuen Gong-yi and others founded the Hong Kong Parliament Preparatory Committee and held an election to establish a “Hong Kong Parliament”. The founder of the Hong Kong Democratic Founding Alliance, Keung Ka Wai, announced his candidacy. A photograph of the defendant holding a Hong Kong independence banner appeared on Keung’s Facebook page, and she also filmed two short videos urging members of the public to vote. After her arrest, the defendant said under caution that she had filmed the videos on the instructions of her former boyfriend, Lam Chin-kam, a member of Keung’s party. Lam allegedly told her that filming the videos was not illegal and paid her C$100 after each filming session. In mitigation, the defence said the defendant was young and inexperienced and had been manipulated by her older former boyfriend. It also said she had followed him to Canada and later returned to Hong Kong rashly, showing her ignorance of politics and the law.

現年 19 歲女子被指於今年 3 月至 5 月拍攝宣傳短片,意圖煽惑和鼓勵香港居民參與投票以成立「香港議會」。她周五(31 日)在西九龍裁判法院承認一項煽動罪,還押至 11 月 13 日判刑。 案情指,袁弓夷等人創立「香港議會籌備會」舉行選舉以成立「香港議會」,「香港民主建國聯盟」創辦人姜嘉偉宣布參選。被告手持港獨橫額的照片,出現在姜的 Facebook 上,並曾拍攝兩段短片呼籲市民投票。被告被捕後警誡下稱,自己受到前男友、姜的黨員林千淦指示而拍片,林聲稱拍片不違法,每次拍片後會向她支付 100 加幣。 辯方求情指,被告年少無知,受到比她年長的前男友擺佈,又指她曾跟隨對方遠赴加拿大,及後貿然返港,顯示其對政治及法律的無知。

15-year-old Hong Kong Democratic Nation-Building Alliance member admits conspiracy to secede; judge questions whether he actively contacted founder

15歲「香港民主建國聯盟」成員認串謀分裂 官質疑主動聯絡創辦人、屬積極參與

Three men alleged to be members of the Hong Kong Democratic Nation-Building Alliance and to have promoted “Hong Kong independence” were charged with conspiracy to secede under the National Security Law. The boy, who was 15 at the time of the alleged offence, was accused of promoting the “Nation-Building Alliance” and “Hong Kong Parliament elections” on social media. Telephone records also showed that he told the founder of the “Nation-Building Alliance” that he was skilled in analysis and public speaking, and agreed to establish an “intelligence department” for the alliance to collect information about the Hong Kong Police. The boy pleaded guilty at the District Court on Friday (the 31st). The defence submitted in mitigation that he had not taken an active role and was an “other participant”. The judge, however, said the boy appeared to have proactively contacted the founder and made suggestions about the development of the “Nation-Building Alliance”, making him an “active participant”. The defence stressed that at the time of the alleged offence, the boy was “ignorant of the realities” and was “dreaming the impossible”. The judge adjourned the case to 27 November for sentencing, pending a series of reports.

3 名男子被指是「香港民主建國聯盟」成員、推動「港獨」,被控《國安法》串謀分裂國家罪。其中案發時 15 歲男生被指在社交媒體宣傳「建國聯」、「香港議會選舉」,電話紀錄另顯示,他向「建國聯」創辦人稱,自己擅長分析和演講,同意為「建國聯」成立一個「情報部門」,以收集香港警察資料。 男生周五(31 日)在區域法院認罪。辯方求情指,男生沒積極作為、屬「其他參加者」。惟官指男生「似乎主動」聯絡創辦人,就「建國聯」發展提出建議等,屬「積極參與者」。辯方強調,男生案發時「不知天高地厚」、「痴人說夢話」。官押至 11 月 27 日判刑,候索取一系列報告。
