吳子樂再被捕｜明愛醫院炸彈案脫罪 據了解被指「煽惑暴動」 國安警拘五人 指現不便透露身份
Tsz Lok Ng, one of the acquitted defendants in the second case under the “Anti-terrorism Ordinance”, was reportedly arrested again by national security police on Tuesday (28th). The arrest was reportedly related to an “inciting riot” case. National security police held a press conference today (29th) to explain a “riot case” involving the arrest of five people. Asked whether one of those arrested was connected with an acquitted defendant in the border explosives case, police said that, as the identities of individual people were concerned, the case was still under investigation and it was not convenient to disclose details at this stage. On Thursday (30th) afternoon, Tsz Lok Ng was escorted by police vehicle to the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, while members of the Counter Terrorism Response Unit stood guard outside the court.

反恐第二案｜無罪何培欣、周皓文申訟費遭拒 官指自招嫌疑 另充公逾20萬元現金
The second case under the anti-terrorism law was sentenced on Monday (27). Judge Chan Chung-hang also rejected the costs applications of the acquitted defendants Ho Pui-yan and Chow Ho-man, saying Ho should have known the matter was related to bombs but still discussed it with Ho Cheuk Wai, while police found chemical substances at Chow’s residence. The two had brought suspicion upon themselves.
Several defendants applied to have exhibits returned. The judge ruled that the electronic devices involved must be forfeited or destroyed, while photographs and videos stored on the devices could be returned to the defendants on USB drives. More than $200,000 in cash was found on several defendants; the judge considered it to have been obtained in the course of committing the offence and ordered it forfeited. Only the fifth defendant’s handbag and white shoes could be returned.
反恐條例第二案周一（27 日）判刑，法官陳仲衡亦駁回無罪被告何培欣、周皓文的訟費申請，指何應該知道與炸彈有關，仍與何卓為討論等，而警方在周的住所搜出化學物品，兩人自招嫌疑。
多名被告申請取回證物，官裁定，涉案電子裝置須充公或銷毀，裝置內的相片、影片則可用 USB 交還被告；多名被告被搜出逾 20 萬元現金，官認為屬於犯案過程中獲得，亦須充公，僅第五被告的手袋及白鞋可以歸還。

反恐第二案｜3被告判監16年8月至18年 成反修例案第二長 官：行為對社會宣戰
The three defendants in the second anti-terrorism case were sentenced on Monday (27th). The first defendant, Ho Cheuk Wai, was jailed for 18 years, while the other two defendants, Lee Ka-ban and Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung, were each jailed for 16 years and 8 months. They are now the three people given the longest sentences in anti-extradition bill cases, after Ng Chi-hung in the first anti-terrorism case. Ho Man smiled and nodded after hearing the sentence, Lee remained calm, while Cheung grinned and mentioned an appeal.
High Court judge Chan Chung-hang said the three had “become emboldened and gone from bad to worse”. The three bombing incidents involved had become increasingly serious, amounting to “declaring war on society”. He said the explosives planned for placement in the Sheung Tak car park were “designed for the purpose of killing”, targeting police officers while disregarding the risk of casualties among passers-by. This showed that the defendants “treated human life as worthless”. The three showed no remorse, and rehabilitation was out of the question.
The judge also rejected costs applications by the two acquitted defendants, saying they had brought suspicion upon themselves. Apart from Yeung Yee-sze, who was allowed to retrieve a handbag and white shoes, the other defendants’ applications to retrieve electronic devices and cash were all refused. Ho Cheuk Wai and Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung are also pursuing civil claims over alleged police violence, with the case to return to court next year.
反恐條例第二案周一（27 日）判刑，首被告何卓為判監 18 年，另兩被告李嘉濱、張家俊判監 16 年 8 個月，成為繼反恐首案吳智鴻之後，反修例案之中刑期最高的 3 人。何聞判刑微笑點頭，李神情平靜，張則露齒笑並提及上訴。
高院法官陳仲衡指，3 人「食髓知味、變本加厲」，涉及的 3 次爆炸案件一次比一次嚴重，如同「向社會宣戰」，又指計劃在尚德停車場放置的炸藥「根本是設計作殺人之用」，目標指向警察、罔顧途人傷亡，反映被告「視人命如草芥」；3 人無悔意，更生無從說起。
官另駁回兩無罪被告的訟費申請，指兩人自招嫌疑，而除了楊怡斯獲准取回手袋、白鞋，其餘被告申請取回電子裝置及現金均被拒。何卓為、張家俊另循民事就指稱警暴索償，明年再訊。

高才通內地申請人涉虛報雪梨科技大學學歷 被控兩罪 缺席聆訊遭發拘捕令
A 34-year-old Chinese woman allegedly claimed that the University of Technology Sydney had awarded her a Bachelor of Business in Economics degree in 2012 when she applied to come to Hong Kong under the Top Talent Pass Scheme in 2024. When applying for a Hong Kong identity card in the same year, she allegedly stated that her educational attainment was postgraduate level or above. She was charged with “making arrangements to make false representations for the purpose of obtaining an entry permit” and “furnishing false particulars to a registration officer”. The case was mentioned again at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on Monday (the 27th). The defendant was absent, and the court issued an arrest warrant.

平屋控大坑西邨未遷出居民 首案5居民全部敗訴 居民哽咽「呢條路行得好崎嶇」
Tai Hang Sai Estate in Shek Kip Mei is to be demolished and redeveloped. Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation brought civil proceedings against several residents who refused to move out, with two cases consolidated for hearing. In the first case, involving five residents, District Court judge Kam Tsuen Chan ruled on Thursday (the 23rd) after trial that the Corporation had won in full, ordering the residents to surrender their units and pay the legal costs. However, the costs claimed by the Corporation’s barrister were limited to those of one barrister with 12 years’ seniority.
The residents disputed whether the wording of the contracts and agreements concerning the former Kwong Man Village, the predecessor of Tai Hang Sai Estate, referred to “rent-purchase” or “sale”. The judge rejected the argument, saying that ordinary contracts for the sale and purchase of land and buildings would specify the bungalow lot, whereas the “subject matter of purchase” in the contracts concerned was only the “house”. This showed that the contracts concerned only the rental or purchase of the “house”; once the house was demolished, “the related rights would correspondingly disappear at the same time”.
Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation said it welcomed the judgment and called on the residents to return their units so that the works could proceed in full. A resident in his 60s, Peter Wai Kwan Kin, choked back tears as he said, “This road has been very arduous.” He also said he could not afford market rents and would consider appealing.
石硤尾大坑西邨將清拆重建，「平民屋宇」民事控告多名拒遷出居民，合併兩案處理。其中涉 5 人的首案經審訊後，區院法官陳錦泉周四（23 日）裁定「平屋」全部勝訴，下令居民交出單位兼付訟費，但將「平屋」代表大狀的費用限於一名年資 12 年的大狀。
就居民一方爭議大坑西邨前身光民村的合約、協議字眼是「租購」或「銷售」，官反駁指，一般土地樓房買賣合約會列明平房地段，惟涉事合約「購買主體」僅為「房舍」，可見合約僅涉租用或購買「房舍」，有關房舍一旦被拆卸，「相關權益相應地同時消失」。
「平屋」指歡迎裁決，呼籲交回單位讓工程全面展開。六旬居民關偉建哽咽指「呢條路行得好崎嶇」，又稱無法負擔市場租金，稱會考慮上訴。

11.12中環｜女子暴動罪成 申上訴至終院證明書被拒 上訴庭：觀點新瓶舊酒
At the “Lunch with You” event in Central on 12 November 2019, 28 people were charged with rioting. One woman, who was convicted after trial and sentenced to three years and three months’ imprisonment, appealed against her conviction. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in April this year. She then applied to the Court of Appeal for a certificate to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, but the application was also rejected on Tuesday (the 21st).
2019 年 11 月 12 日中環「和你 lunch」，28 人被控暴動，其中一名經審訊後罪成、判囚 3 年 3 個月的女子提出定罪上訴，今年 4 月被上訴庭駁回。她再向上訴庭申請上訴至終院證明書，亦在周二（21 日）被拒絕。
判詞指，申請方提出的觀點，只是「新瓶舊酒」，把不獲法庭接納的理據包裝成法律觀點，而控方引用已呈堂證物的內容來盤問她，並無不妥、不涉「突襲」，因此拒批證明書。涉案女子已直接向終院申請終極上訴許可，暫未排期聆訊。

7.14沙田｜受傷警向兩示威者索償 官斥原告大狀開案大部分屬「抄」、「複述」
Two protesters were accused of assaulting a police officer during clashes at Sha Tin New Town Plaza on 14 July 2019, and were earlier jailed after admitting the riot offence. Police officer Kwok Siu-hang, who was injured in the incident, previously brought a civil claim for damages against the two. The trial began at the District Court on Monday (20th).
Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh spent more than half an hour criticising Sun Tsz-hang, the barrister representing Kwok, for having “copied word for word” the medical records and expert reports in his opening submissions, saying, “You would feel embarrassed yourself reading it.” The judge also said that more than half of the submissions consisted of repetition without explanation or summary, stressing that the court’s time was precious: “I have never seen an opening submission like this,” and “You have to put your heart into it.”
Kwok Siu-hang testified that he had experienced few physical problems after the incident, but that his mental condition became serious by 2022. “After being assaulted like that, I keep having dreams,” he said. He was subsequently reassigned to clerical duties and now has to receive regular psychiatric treatment. Closing submissions in the case will be made on Tuesday (21st).
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城市廣場發生衝突，兩名示威者被指毆打警員，早前承認暴動罪被判監。在事件中受傷的警員郭兆恒，早前循民事向兩人索償，周一（20 日）在區域法院開審。
法官羅麗萍花逾半小時，批評郭的代表大律師孫子恒，在開案陳詞將醫療紀錄、專家報告「一字不漏抄出嚟」、「你自己睇見都難堪啦」，又指當中逾半內容為複述，沒作出解釋、總結，強調法庭時間寶貴，「從來未見過一個咁樣嘅開案陳詞」、「你用個心去做先得㗎」。
郭兆恒則供稱，事發後身體沒甚麼問題，至 2022 年精神情況變得嚴重，「我俾人咁樣毆打，成日都會發夢」，其後被調任文書工作，現時須定期接受精神治療。案件周二（21 日）結案陳詞。

蘇浚鋒煽惑投白票罪成 獲批終極上訴許可爭議控罪是否合憲 明年5月聆訊
Former Chinese University of Hong Kong Student Union president So Tsun-fung was charged with inciting others to cast blank votes after reposting a post by Hui Chi-fung urging people to do so during the 2021 Legislative Council election. After the magistrate ruled that the charge was constitutional, So changed his plea to guilty and was given a suspended sentence. His appeal was dismissed by the High Court, after which he applied directly to the Court of Final Appeal for leave to appeal.
After a hearing on Friday (the 17th), three permanent judges of the Court of Final Appeal—Li Yee, Fok Siu-kong and Lam Man-hon—granted So leave for a final appeal. The hearing has been scheduled for 20 May 2026. The two issues for which leave was granted are whether the charge infringed the freedoms of speech and the rights to equality before the law and equal protection under the law guaranteed by the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights.
So’s side argued that the conduct in question was peaceful advocacy and did not amount to incitement of hatred or violence. It disputed whether the charge was proportionate and pursued a legitimate aim, and challenged the High Court’s refusal to consider overseas cases. The Department of Justice argued that Hong Kong’s circumstances were unique, that the Legislative Council had improved the electoral system in response to the situation in 2019, and that the court had grounds not to consider overseas cases.
前中大學生會會長蘇浚鋒於 2021 年立法會選舉中，轉載許智峯倡投白票帖文，被控煽惑投白票罪。蘇在裁判官裁定控罪合憲後，改為認罪，被判緩刑。他提上訴被高院駁回後，直接向終審法院申請上訴許可。
終院 3 名常任法官李義、霍兆剛、林文瀚周五（17 日）聆訊後，向蘇批出終極上訴許可，並排期 2026 年 5 月 20 日開審。獲批許可的兩項議題為，控罪有否侵犯《基本法》及《香港人權法案》保障的言論自由、在法律面前一律平等及受法律平等保護的權利。
蘇一方指涉案舉動是和平倡議，不至於煽惑仇恨或暴力，爭議控罪是否合乎比例、有否合法目的，並挑戰高院拒考慮海外案例的做法。律政司一方則指香港情況獨特，立法會因應 2019 年情況改善選舉制度，法庭有基礎不考慮海外案例。

721白衣人鄧嘉民申上訴失敗 官：持藤條與白衣人同行 明顯具傷人意圖
Tang Ka-man, a white-clad man involved in the Yuen Long 721 incident, was convicted last year of rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent and sentenced to four years and one month in prison. He appealed against his conviction for the wounding offence. The Court of Appeal judge Kevin Paul Zervos dismissed the appeal on Wednesday, and handed down the written judgment on Friday (the 17th), issuing a “time deduction order”. This means that if Tang’s further application for leave to appeal is rejected, the time spent awaiting the decision will not count towards his prison sentence.
The judgment said the appellant argued that the evidence was insufficient for the trial judge to infer that the white-clad men had a serious intent to injure, and that she had also failed to properly consider the elements of the offence. Kevin Paul Zervos responded that the trial court had already found that the rattan poles involved could cause bleeding, bruising and other injuries. Tang acted alongside the white-clad men while carrying a rattan pole, clearly demonstrating an intent to cause serious injury to others, and the trial judge had not confused the elements of the offence.
元朗 721「白衣人」鄧嘉民，去年被裁定暴動及串謀有意圖傷人罪成，被判囚 4 年 1 個月。他就傷人罪提出定罪上訴，上訴庭法官薛偉成周三即日駁回，周五（17 日）頒下判詞，發出「減時命令」，即鄧若再申請上訴許可被駁回，等侯判決的時間不計入服刑。
判詞引上訴方質疑，證據不足以讓原審法官推論白衣人有嚴重傷人意圖，她亦未正確考慮控罪元素等。薛偉成反駁，原審已裁斷涉案藤條可致出血、瘀傷等，鄧持藤條與白衣人一同行事，明顯具有致他人受嚴重傷害的意圖，而原審法官亦沒混淆控罪元素。

721罪成白衣人 就傷人罪申請定罪上訴許可 即日被駁回
Tang Ka-man, a “white-shirted man” involved in the Yuen Long 721 incident, was found guilty after trial of rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent, and sentenced to four years and one month in prison. He applied to appeal against his conviction for the wounding offence. The Court of Appeal’s leave hearing took place on Wednesday (15th), and judge Kevin Paul Zervos dismissed the application the same day. The handing down of written reasons was adjourned until Friday (17th).
The appeal argued that even if Tang had “foreseen” that wooden sticks or rattan would cause serious injury, this did not mean he had a specific intent to wound and was insufficient for a conviction. The judge said the white-shirted men had carried out attacks that day and Tang, as one of them, was involved in the riot, questioning whether it could be said that there was no evidence proving Tang had participated in an agreement to wound.
More than six years after 721, 21 people have so far been convicted of rioting and other offences. Of them, 13 were white-shirted men and the remaining eight were not. Figures provided by police in July showed that there had been no new arrests or prosecutions for two consecutive years.
元朗 721「白衣人」鄧嘉民經審訊後，被裁定暴動及串謀有意圖傷人罪成，被判囚 4 年 1 個月。他就傷人罪提出定罪上訴，案件周三（15 日）處理許可聆訊，上訴庭法官薛偉成即日駁回，押後至周五（17 日）頒下書面判詞。
上訴方指，即使鄧「預見」木棍或藤條會導致人嚴重受傷，亦不代表他有特定意圖傷人，不足以定罪。法官指，白衣人當天作出攻擊行為，鄧作為其中一員涉及在暴動內，質疑是否沒證據證明鄧有參與傷人協議。
721 至今逾 6 年，至今 21 人暴動等罪成，當中 13 人為白衣人，其餘 8 人為非白衣人。警方今年 7 月回覆的數字顯示，已連續兩年未有新的拘捕或檢控。
