反恐第二案｜首被告確認沒向前女友被告提及「避一避」等 與錄口供說法有別
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train compartment at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Lots” subsequently claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the 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 102nd day on Wednesday (21st).
Counsel Douglas King Hin Kwok, representing the first defendant’s ex-girlfriend and the seventh defendant in the case, Ho Pui-yan, continued questioning the first defendant, Ho Cheuk Wai. He admitted that while travelling to Thailand with Ho Pui-yan in February 2020, he had never told her such things as “going to Thailand was deliberately to get away for a while”, “lay low for a while”, or that he “felt uneasy about someone making bombs in Room 503”. This differed from what he said in a recorded police interview.
Ho Cheuk Wai said he had wanted to dissociate himself from the matter concerning Room 503 at the time, but disagreed that he wanted to use his ex-girlfriend as a means of getting out of it. He later explained why he had mentioned his ex-girlfriend when giving his statement, saying: “Because at the time I believed my girlfriend was also a subject of the police investigation, and I thought that if I said both the seventh defendant and I had nothing to do with the matter, it would be better for Ho Pui-yan. That was what I thought at the time.” The trial continues 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（21 日）於高院踏入第 102 天審訊。
代表首被告前女友、案中第七被告何培欣的大律師郭憬憲，繼續盤問首被告何卓為，他承認於 2020 年 2 月與何培欣赴泰國期間，從沒跟她提及「去泰國係專登行開吓」、「避一避」、「對於有人喺 503 室整炸彈感到不安」等說話，跟他在警員錄影會面中的說法有別。
何卓為稱，當時是想與 503 室的事割席，但不同意想借前女友過橋。他其後解釋為何錄口供時要提及前女友，稱「因為我當時相信女朋友都係被警察查嘅對象，覺得如果我講到我同第七被告都同件事冇關，係對何培欣會比較好，當時係咁諗。」案件周四續審。

反恐第二案｜首被告續接受盤問 同意向前女友被告提「行動細節」全屬虛構
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Lots” 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 101st day on Tuesday (20th).
The first defendant Ho Cheuk Wai continued giving evidence and was cross-examined by counsel Douglas King Hin Kwok for his ex-girlfriend, the seventh defendant Ho Pui-yan. Ho admitted that he had mentioned “smoke bombs” to Ho Pui-yan after the Caritas Medical Centre bombing case, and agreed that she had never replied. He also agreed that mentioning the “operational details” was intended to create a sense of comradeship, and that the details were entirely fabricated. The trial continues on Wednesday.

23條首宗司法覆核上訴 上訴方：國安定義廣闊 懲教署長「別無他選」無法轉介個案
Ma Chun-man, nicknamed “Captain America 2.0”, was convicted of “inciting secession” after being accused of repeatedly shouting pro-Hong Kong independence slogans and was sentenced to five years in prison. Ma was originally due to be released early in March this year on account of good conduct, but under the new “Article 23” arrangements he was not released early and his imprisonment was extended until his sentence expires in November 2025 at the latest.
He filed for judicial review, and after losing in December last year, appealed. The case was heard in the High Court on Friday (the 16th). The appellant argued that the definition of national security was broad and that many prisoners “would be regarded as violating national security interests”, leaving the Correctional Services Commissioner with “no other choice” and unable to refer cases to the committee for consideration.
Chief Judge Pang Chun-hoi noted that other countries did not define national security and asked whether the appellant would “rather have no definition”. The appellant responded that the point was that terms in the legislation, such as “relative” and “other major interests of the state”, were unclear. The Correctional Services side said that even if the court ruled in Ma’s favour, the Correctional Services Commissioner would still have to give full consideration to the views of the “National Security Committee”. The judge said a ruling would be handed down within six months.
綽號「第二代美國隊長」的馬俊文，被指多次叫喊港獨口號，「煽動分裂國家」罪成判囚 5 年。馬原定今年 3 月在行為良好減刑下提早獲釋，惟在「23 條」新安排下，未能提早釋放，最遲延至 2025 年 11 月刑滿。
他不服入稟申請司法覆核，去年 12 月敗訴後再提上訴，案件周五（16 日）在高等法院審理。上訴方指，國安定義廣闊，許多囚犯「都被視為違反國安利益」，令懲教署長「別無他選」，無法轉介個案予委員會考慮。
首席法官潘兆初提到，其他國家沒有就國安定義，問上訴方是否也「寧願沒有定義？」上訴方回應稱，是想指出條文內「相對」、「國家其他重大利益」等字眼不清晰。懲教署一方則指，即使法庭裁定馬勝訴，懲教署長仍須充分考慮「國安委」意見。官表示會於 6 個月內判決。

遭食環署檢走大批月餅 膳心小館要求裁斷行動是否合法 官3周後頒書面裁決
In August 2024, a large batch of mooncakes at the factory of social enterprise Agape Garden, which was suspected to have been complained about over their unknown origin, was sealed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD). The department did not order the batch to be unsealed and removed it in December of the same year. Agape Garden lodged a complaint with the court under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, seeking, among other things, an order quashing the FEHD’s decision. The matter was heard at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts on Friday (the 16th).
2024 年 8 月，社企「膳心小館」月餅疑遭投訴來歷不明，被食環署查封廠房內大批月餅，署方沒下令解封，至同年 12 月檢走該批月餅。「膳心小館」按《公眾衞生及市政條例》向法庭申訴，要求頒令撤銷食環署的決定等，周五（16 日）在觀塘裁判法院處理。
「膳心小館」一方要求法庭盡快裁斷食環署的行動是否合法，食環署一方則要求無限期暫緩，待另一刑事案完結再議。
裁判官彭亮廷一度問「膳心小館」一方申訴目的為何，稱「務實啲你又唔係要賠償，又唔拎訟費，老土啲講『我為了公義』，我同意嘅，公義係無價。」官其後拒絕暫緩，指將於三星期後頒下書面裁決。

被指濫發逾萬張免針紙 醫生蔡淑梅與夫不認罪 控方將傳召15病人作供
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, doctor Choi Suk Mui, Annie was accused of mass-issuing “vaccine exemption certificates”. She and her husband were charged with 24 offences, including dishonest access to a computer and money laundering. The two defendants denied all charges as the trial continued at the District Court on Friday (the 16th).
In its opening submission, the prosecution said Choi had issued more than 14,000 “vaccine exemption certificates” to over 12,000 people during the relevant period. Most cited “Vaccine phobia（疫苗恐懼症）” as the reason. The prosecution will call 15 patients who had been granted immunity from prosecution and received “vaccine exemption certificates” from Choi, to prove that their medical conditions at the time were unrelated to “vaccine phobia”.
The prosecution also said the joint account of the two defendants showed that cash deposits rose significantly in line with the number of “vaccine exemption certificates” issued, and stopped after Choi was arrested and ceased issuing them. Large sums of money were subsequently transferred to her husband’s account. The trial will continue next Monday.
2022 年新冠疫情期間，醫生蔡淑梅被指濫發「免針紙」，與丈夫被控不誠實取用電腦及洗黑錢等 24 罪。案件周五（16 日）在區域法院續審，兩被告否認全部控罪。
控方開案陳詞指，蔡在涉案期間共簽發逾 14,000 張「免針紙」予逾 12,000 人，其中大部分以「Vaccine phobia（疫苗恐懼症）」為原因，將傳召其中 15 名獲免起訴、獲蔡簽發「免針紙」的病人作供，證明他們當時的身體狀況均與「疫苗恐懼症」無關。
控方又指，兩名被告的聯名戶口顯示，現金存款隨著簽發「免針紙」的數量而顯著上升，並於蔡被捕及停發後停止，其後有大額款項轉帳至其丈夫的戶口。案件下周一續審。

香港獨立黨案被告認串謀煽動分裂囚5年 刑期上訴被駁回 向終審法院申上訴許可
A 41-year-old Portuguese man Wong Kin Chung, identified as the chairman of the “Hong Kong Independence Party”, was arrested when he entered Hong Kong in 2022. He pleaded guilty to the National Security Law offence of “conspiracy to incite others to commit secession” and was sentenced to five years in prison.
