反恐第二案｜TG訊息提「需要早一日運去tko」 首被告稱沒獲中學同學告知
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train carriage, and the Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Divinations” later 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. On Thursday (24th), the trial entered its 93rd day at the High Court, with the defence continuing to question witnesses about Telegram group messages on Ho Cheuk Wai’s phone.
The defence referred to messages in which “William Wallace” wrote: “Also telling you a little something else: there is a need to transport it to tko a day early” (meaning Tseung Kwan O); “because several teams outside have been saying they want to do something”; and “if it is transported on the day, it will be very easy to get caught by RB”. Ho Cheuk Wai testified that his secondary-school classmate “Ah Dan”, who had been pretending to be him when speaking, did not tell him what would be transported to Tseung Kwan O. “William Wallace” also once sent a message saying: “I can be in the throwing or guard team.”
He said in court that he would attend with “Ah Dan”, and that “Ah Dan” had said: “In any event, someone will definitely go and throw petrol bombs that day.” He therefore said they could take part in the petrol-bomb team, while others would also see him there, which could count as taking part in the guard team. The case continues on Friday.
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，周四（24 日）於高院踏入第 93 天審訊，辯方續就何卓為手機的 Telegram 群組訊息提問。
辯方引訊息，指「William Wallace」發訊稱「另外同你哋講少少野 有需要早一日運去tko」（即將軍澳）、「因為出面幾隊都吹風話玩嘢」、 「咁樣當日運嘅話好易中RB」。何卓為供稱，假裝其身分發言的中學同學「阿蛋」，並無告知他會運甚麼去將軍澳。另外「William Wallace」曾發訊指「我可以放或護衛組」。
何庭上稱，屆時會與「阿蛋」到場，並指「阿蛋」曾稱「橫掂嗰日都一定有人去掉汽油彈」，故指他們可參與汽油彈小隊，其他人亦會看到他在場，可算是參與護衛。案件周五續。

反恐第二案｜首被告稱中學同學已代替其群組身分 「放蛋糕」等非由本人發言
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train carriage. 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 manufacture explosives”. All eight pleaded not guilty. On Wednesday (23rd), the trial at the High Court entered its 92nd day, with the defence continuing to question Ho Cheuk Wai about Telegram group messages on his phone.
Messages shown in court included posts by “William Wallace” saying, “Put down cakes as before. Tomorrow I’ll see which locations you want to report. That’s it”; “We’ll announce the plan, and you can just follow it then”; “Let’s do two now”; and “Does anyone want to put one down?” Ho Cheuk Wai testified that “William Wallace” was his secondary-school classmate “Ah Dan” pretending to post as him, and that “Ah Dan” had not told him he would help plan it.
In another message, “William Wallace” wrote, “Sai Gwa and I want to make it as big as a whole flowerpot …” Ho Cheuk Wai testified that he had not given “Ah Dan” the above instructions, and believed that “Ah Dan” was “pretending to do something”, adding that “perhaps he also wanted to help me do something and scrape together some rental assistance”. The case 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（23 日）於高院踏入第 92 天審訊，辯方續就何卓為手機的 Telegram 群組訊息提問。
庭上訊息可見，「William Wallace」曾在群組發訊稱，「同以前一樣放蛋糕 聽日我會睇下你哋想報咩位 就係咁」、 「我哋會公布計劃到時你哋跟計劃就可以」、「依家玩兩個」、「有無人想放」。何卓為供稱，「William Wallace」為其中學同學「阿蛋」假裝他發言，「阿蛋」沒向他提及會幫手計劃。
另「William Wallace」發訊提及，「我同西瓜想玩到成盆花咁大…」，何供稱，沒有向「阿蛋」作出上述指示，又認為「阿蛋」是「扮到做吓嘢」，「可能佢都想幫我做吓嘢、搲吓啲租金資助」。案件周四續。

反恐第二案｜首被告群組發訊息「不如入去點著佢」 稱欲套出煙霧彈位置
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “92 Lots” later claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance, while one remaining defendant was charged with “attempting to manufacture explosives”. All eight pleaded not guilty, and the trial at the High Court entered its 91st day on Tuesday (22nd).
Messages from a Telegram group were shown in court, in which Ho Cheuk Wai wrote, “Why not go in and set it alight?” and “I’ve black-bloc’d.” Ho explained that he had “boasted that something had happened” to “Perth Glory” (the seventh defendant Ho Pui-yan). As the group had not mentioned the location of the smoke bombs, he wanted to elicit the answer, and said in the group that he had put on protest attire so that he could retrieve the smoke bombs. Judge Chan Chung-hang asked, “Are you serious?” Ho replied, “I had been drinking at the time ... I exaggerated a little,” and said, “I said I’d bring the thing back, then we’d know where it was.” The case continues on Wednesday.

庭上展示 Telegram 群組訊息，何卓為發訊提到「不如入去點著佢算」、「我black bloc咗」。何解釋，曾向「珀斯光輝」（第七被告何培欣）「吹噓咗有事發生」；而群組沒提及煙霧彈的位置，故想套出答案，並在群組稱已穿上示威裝束，可取回煙霧彈。法官陳仲衡質疑，「你認真㗎？」何答稱，「當時飲咗酒…有少少講大咗」，又指「我話攞返嚿嘢返嚟，咁咪會知嚿嘢喺邊度」。案件周三續。

前中大學生會會長蘇浚鋒煽惑投白票罪成 向高院申上訴至終院許可8.8聆訊
Former CUHK Students’ Union president So Tsun-fung was prosecuted by the ICAC for allegedly reposting online in 2021 a post by former Legislative Council member Ted Hui Chi-fung advocating blank votes in the Legislative Council election. After a magistrate ruled that the charge was constitutional, So pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months. So appealed by way of case stated, but the High Court dismissed the appeal last month.
The Judiciary’s website shows that the High Court will hear on Aug 8 So Tsun-fung’s application for a certificate granting leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal. The hearing is expected to last about 30 minutes. According to the Court of Final Appeal’s website, So has also applied directly to the Court of Final Appeal for leave to appeal; no hearing date has yet been set.
前中大學生會會長蘇浚鋒，被指 2021 年在網上轉載，前立法會議員許智峯提倡在立法會換屆選舉中投白票的帖文，被廉署起訴。蘇在裁判官裁定控罪合憲後，改為認罪，被判囚兩個月、緩刑 18 個月。他以案件呈述方式提上訴，上月被高院駁回。

不滿李家超未兌現「承諾」 向政總掟雞蛋及蕃茄 男子刑毀罪上訴遭駁回
A man was convicted 30 years ago of two counts of conspiracy to defraud. After serving one year in prison, he successfully appealed to overturn the convictions. He alleged that the government had maliciously prosecuted him, causing him to develop a mental illness, lose his ability to work and become estranged from his wife and children, and repeatedly sought compensation. In May the year before last, dissatisfied that Chief Executive John Lee had not honoured a promise to respond to his litigation within 10 days, he threw tomatoes and eggs at the exterior wall of a government building. He was convicted of criminal damage and fined $3,000.
The man appealed against the conviction, arguing that throwing the eggs and tomatoes was an unavoidable means of venting his frustration, and that the soiled wall could be cleaned simply by wiping it and no property had been damaged. He also said he had previously thrown eggs and tomatoes at the Social Welfare Department but had not been prosecuted. Acting High Court judge Chun Man (OIAP) Li handed down a judgment today, holding that even without permanent damage, temporary damage to an object’s value or usefulness could constitute “damage”, and dismissed the appeal.
一名男子30年前因為兩項串謀行騙被定罪，服刑一年後上訴成功推翻定罪，男子指控政府惡意檢控，令他患上精神病、喪失工作能力及妻離子散，多次要求索償。前年5月，他不滿行政長官李家超沒有兌現10天回覆訴訟的承諾，向政府外牆掟蕃茄和雞蛋，他被裁定刑事毀壞罪成，罰款3,000元。
男子不服定罪提出上訴，指掟雞蛋及番茄是迫於無奈的宣洩，弄污牆𤩹只要一抹便可清理，不會損壞任何物件；又指曾向社署掟雞蛋及番茄，惟無被檢控。高院暫委法官李俊文今頒判詞，指就算沒有造成永久損壞，造成物件價值或用途上暫時性的損壞，亦可以構成「損壞」，駁回上訴。

鄭嘉如私人檢控前僱主《華爾街日報》 指律政司仍需時考慮是否介入、押後7.2再訊
Less than a month after Cheng Ka-yu was elected chairwoman of the Hong Kong Journalists Association last year, she was dismissed by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the grounds of “job restructuring”. Cheng believes she was dismissed because of her participation in a trade union and initiated a private prosecution (see the “Law 101” article), charging her employer with two offences related to “preventing employees from participating in a trade union”. The case was heard at the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday (22nd).
Cheng Ka-yu did not appear in court and was represented by barrister Azan Aziz Marwah, while the defendant was represented by senior counsel Vinci Wing Sai Lam. The Department of Justice was represented by Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Chan Wan-ting. Records show that Chan is attached to the Departmental Prosecutions/Human Rights section under the Policy and Administration branch of the Prosecutions Division. Azan Aziz Marwah said the Department of Justice had applied for a further eight-week adjournment to consider whether to intervene in the case.
Azan Aziz Marwah added that after discussions with the defendant’s senior counsel Vinci Wing Sai Lam, the defence requested a 10-week adjournment, saying it believed this would be enough time for the Department of Justice to “nail the colour to the mast” and would also allow the company to ensure that all “unused materials” had been gathered. Chief Magistrate Don Man Lung So accordingly adjourned the case to July 2 for a further mention.
香港記者協會主席鄭嘉如去年當選不足一個月，便遭《華爾街日報》（WSJ）以「職位重組」為由解僱。鄭認為自己是因參與工會而遭解僱，提出私人檢控（參看《法律101》文章），控告僱主兩項「阻止僱員參與工會」有關的控罪；案件周二（22 日）在東區裁判法院提堂。
鄭嘉如沒有到庭，由大律師馬亞山代表，被告方由資深大律師林穎茜代表。律政司一方由助理刑事檢控專員陳韻婷列席。翻查資料，陳韻婷隸屬刑事檢控科「政策及政務」下的「部門檢控／人權」部門。馬亞山指律政司提出申請，望進一步押後 8 周，以考慮會否介入本案。
馬亞山續指，他們與被告方資深大狀林穎茜討論後，對方提出要求押後 10 周，稱認為夠律政司「明確表態」（nail the colour to the mast），亦能讓公司一方確保集齊所有「未經起用物料」（unused materials）。主任裁判官蘇文隆遂應要求，押後至 7 月 2 日再訊。

支聯會被指煽動顛覆案 8月初進行第二次審前覆核 早前押後至11月開審
The case against the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chair and vice-chair, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, over alleged “incitement to subversion of state power” was originally scheduled for trial in May this year. The judge earlier said the trial was no longer feasible because another case had overrun, and adjourned it to November. The Judiciary’s website now shows that the case will undergo its second pre-trial review on 4 August this year.
At the first pre-trial review in February this year, counsel for Albert Ho Chun-yan, who had initially intended to plead not guilty, said he intended to change his plea to guilty and was discussing the matter with the prosecution. The judge then gave him 14 days to provide written notice. All three remain in custody. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have been remanded for more than 1,300 days, while Ho Chun-yan, who was granted bail for a period, has also been remanded for more than 1,100 days.
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，原定今年 5 月開審，惟法官早前指因另案超時已不可行，押後 11 月開審。司法機構網頁最新顯示，案件將在今年 8 月 4 日處理第二次審前覆核。
據今年 2 月的首次審前覆核，原擬不認罪的何俊仁，由大狀提出有意改為擬認罪，並稱正與控方商討，法官當時限 14 天內作書面通知。3 人仍正還押，李卓人、鄒幸彤已還押逾 1,300 日；一度准保釋的何俊仁亦已還押逾 1,100 日。

市民稱到警署投訴警察時被打、求醫證實腦出血 向警務處長索償120萬元
A citizen filed a claim at the District Court on Wednesday (the 16th) against the Commissioner of Police, alleging that on the evening of 6 April this year, he went to the report room of Mong Kok Police Station to complain about police officers’ discourtesy during enforcement action, but was instead arrested by police officers on suspicion of criminal intimidation and other offences. He further alleges that police officers used excessive force against him, including striking the back of his head, causing his hat to fly off and making him dizzy. He was taken to hospital, where he was found to have suffered a brain haemorrhage.
The citizen considers that the police officers involved breached human rights law, and that the Commissioner of Police owed him duties of care and vicarious responsibility. He is seeking HK$1.2 million in compensation from the department. The Judiciary has not yet listed a hearing date.
Police said they would not comment because the case had entered judicial proceedings.

該市民認為涉事警務人員有違人權法，警務處長對此有謹慎及轉承責任，要求處方向他賠償 120 萬元。司法機構暫未顯示聆訊日期。
警方回覆指，由於案件已進入司法程序，警方不作評論。

反恐第二案｜首被告稱料身邊人涉爆炸案、憂連累女友 指TG帳戶已交他人操控
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR train carriage. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Divinations” 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. On Thursday (17th), the trial at the High Court entered its 90th day, with the defence continuing to question Ho Cheuk Wai about Telegram conversations on a mobile phone.
Ho Cheuk Wai sent messages to the seventh defendant, Ho Pui-yan, including: “Would you mind Doggie doing high-risk things for Hong Kong?” and “I don’t want you to get dragged into this.” Ho Cheuk Wai told the court that they became a couple while travelling in Thailand. He said he was worried that people around him were involved in the bomb case and that she might be implicated, and became choked up while giving evidence.
He also said that, because he wanted to distance himself from the social movement, his Telegram account subsequently began to be used by friends. He said he knew nothing about the content of discussions between the account and other people, including conversations with accounts alleged to belong to the second, third and fourth defendants. He also said he believed that other people entering and leaving Room 503 at Wang Cheong Fang were connected with the bomb case.

何卓為向第七被告何培欣發訊提到，「狗狗為香港做高風險嘅嘢你會唔會唔鐘（意）」、「唔想你拖入呢 d 嘢」。何卓為庭上稱，與何培欣於泰國旅行的時候成為情侶，因認為身邊有人涉及爆炸案，擔心連累她，作供期間一度哽咽。
何又指，因想淡出社運，其 TG 帳戶之後開始轉由友人使用，對帳戶與其他人討論的內容，包括與被指為第二、三、四被告帳戶的對話，均不知情。他亦提到，認為其他出入宏創方 503 室的人與爆炸案有關。
