‘Baa Hei Gor’ Tsang Kin-fung pleads guilty to spray-painting ‘6436’ and candles in Sha Tin on June 4, receives one-year probation order

六四沙田黑漆噴「6436」、蠟燭圖案 曾建峯認罪 判感化一年

Former Civic Party member ‘Baa Hei Gor’ Tsang Kin-fung was accused of using black spray paint to write “6436” and draw candle designs on Fo Tan Road and a notice board this year on June 4. He was charged with criminal damage and changed his plea to guilty before the trial began. He was sentenced to a 12-month conditional probation order at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (18th).

前公民黨成員「霸氣哥」曾建峯,被指今年六四在火炭馬路及告示欄,以黑色噴漆噴上「6436」、蠟燭圖案,被控刑事損壞。他至開審前改為認罪,周四(18 日)在沙田裁判法院被判處 12 個月有條件感化令。 暫委裁判官江美儀指,被告醉酒不是求情理由,其行為可能令人受煽惑,造成不可收拾的局面,又指其行為自私,不能姑息,但接納感化報告指他已意識問題,認為感化令可防止重犯,「聽從感化專業意見未嘗不可」。 判罰後,曾建峯在法院外表示承擔了自己的責任,希望當權者亦可以勇於承擔責任,又稱「6436」的字句是否煽惑破壞安寧,留待大眾判斷。

“6436” and Candle Designs Spray-Painted in Black in Sha Tin on June 4; Tsang Kin-fung Pleads Guilty, Told He Could Face Jail

六四沙田黑漆噴「6436」、蠟燭圖案 曾建峯認罪 官指有機會判監

Former Civic Party member Tsang Kin-fung, known as “the domineering brother”, was accused of spray-painting “6436” and candle designs in black on Fo Tan Road and notice boards on June 4 this year. He was charged with criminal damage. The case was originally scheduled for trial at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (the 4th), but the defendant changed his plea to guilty before the trial began. The defence said in mitigation that the defendant committed the offence after drinking because his mother’s health had deteriorated and he was experiencing difficulties with his novel writing. It said his conduct had been unwise, but that he had previously obeyed the law. Acting Magistrate Kong Mei-yee adjourned the case to September 18 for sentencing, pending social service order and probation reports, and stressed that imprisonment remained possible. The defendant was granted bail pending sentencing.

前公民黨成員、人稱「霸氣哥」的曾建峯,被指於今年六四在火炭馬路及告示欄,以黑色噴漆噴上「6436」、蠟燭圖案,被控刑事損壞。案件原定周四(4 日)在沙田裁判法院開審,被告開審前改為認罪。 辯方求情指,被告因母親健康變差、小說創作不順利,喝酒後干犯本案,行為實屬不智,惟他之前一直奉公守法。暫委裁判官江美儀押至 9 月 18 日判刑,候索取社會服務令及感化報告,強調仍有機會判監。被告准保釋候判。

2021 June 4 | “Granny Cheng” acquitted of mask-order charge; judge rejects evasive police testimony

2021六四|「鄭婆婆」被指違口罩令罪名不成立 官指警作供迴避未能接納

On the 32nd anniversary of the June 4 incident on 4 June 2021, Cheng Kit-sheung, known as “Granny Cheng”, was charged by summons with breaching the mask-wearing requirement in Hang Hau. She pleaded not guilty and stood trial. The defence case and the defendant’s testimony were originally scheduled to begin at the Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (21st), but the defence said it had decided not to call witnesses or have the defendant testify. Both sides then made their closing submissions that day. After adjourning the case for half a day, Acting Magistrate Tang Tsz-kai ruled that the defendant was not guilty. Outside court, Cheng Kit-sheung described the magistrate as “a judge who sees every detail clearly and cares about people’s livelihoods”. In his ruling, the magistrate said the evidence of the two police witnesses differed “too greatly” for him to accept it with confidence. Both said they had not activated their body-worn cameras at the time, yet their notebooks contained the words “recording stopped”, which he said was “inexplicable”. The two officers also appeared evasive under cross-examination, prompting him to question whether “there was something they did not want to disclose”. Their conduct made it difficult for the court to accept their evidence. As the prosecution had ultimately failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, the defendant was found not guilty.

2021 年 6 月 4 日「六四事件」32 周年,「鄭婆婆」鄭潔嫦被票控於坑口違口罩令。她不認罪受審,原定周四(21 日)在觀塘裁判法院展開辯方案情、被告親身作供,惟辯方指現決定不傳證人亦不作供,控辯雙方即日結案陳詞。暫委裁判官鄧子楷押後本案半日後,裁定被告罪名不成立。鄭潔嫦在庭外形容裁判官是「明察秋毫,為民生嘅法官」。 官裁決時指,控方兩名警方證人的證供「差異太大」,未能安心接納;二人均稱當時沒啟動隨身攝錄機,惟記事冊有「停止攝錄」字眼,「令人百思不得其解」;兩人面對盤問時又顯迴避,質疑「除非有事件唔想披露」,做法令法庭難以接受,最後基於控方未能舉證至毫無合理疑點,罪名不成立。

Man in his 80s sentenced to one-month hospital order after allegedly obstructing police outside Victoria Park on June 4 anniversary

被指六四維園外遇截查時不合作 八旬翁被控阻差判一個月醫院令

On June 4, 2022, the 33rd anniversary of the June 4 incident, a man in his 80s was accused of holding an item bearing slogans about the “five demands” and the pursuit of universal suffrage outside Victoria Park. He allegedly refused to cooperate when stopped by police and was charged with obstructing a police officer in the due execution of his duty. The case was heard at Eastern Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday (the 7th). The defendant, who had earlier failed to attend court and had a warrant issued for his arrest, was brought to court by police on Tuesday. He was not legally represented and was provided with a Putonghua interpreter. At the start of the hearing, the prosecution said two psychiatric reports previously requested by the court showed that the defendant was unfit to plead. It recommended that he be dealt with under section 45 of the Mental Health Ordinance and be given a one-month hospital order. The prosecution called four police officers to testify. The defendant did not testify and called no witnesses. After considering the evidence, Acting Magistrate Yip Shing-lam found that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant had committed the offence of obstructing a police officer in the execution of duty. The defendant was sentenced to a one-month hospital order and remanded at Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre.

2022 年 6 月 4 日「六四事件」33 周年,八旬翁被指在維園外手持寫有「五大訴求」、爭取普選標語的物品,遇警截查時拒合作,被控一項「阻撓在正當執行職務的警務人員」罪。案件周二(7 日)在東區裁判法院審訊。 早前因沒有應訊、被發拘捕令的被告,周二由警方押送到庭。被告沒有律師代表,獲安排普通話翻譯。控方代表開庭表示,法庭早前索取的兩份精神科報告顯示,被告不適合答辯,建議按《精神健康條例》第 45 條,判處 1 個月醫院令處理。 控方傳召 4 名警員作供,被告不作供,沒有傳召證人。暫委裁判官葉成林考慮證供後,裁定控方在毫無合理疑點下證明被告干犯阻差辦公控罪,判被告 1 個月醫院令,還押小欖精神病治療中心。

Female Teacher Charged After Being Stopped Over Candle Image Linked to June 4; Charge Withdrawn After Own-Recognisance Bind-Over

涉六四展示蠟燭圖片遭截查 拒向警出示身分證 女教師獲撤控自簽守行為

A 54-year-old female teacher was stopped by police last June 4 after displaying an image of a white candle on her mobile phone in Victoria Park. She refused to show her identity card when stopped and was eventually carried away by officers. She said under caution that she had not committed any offence and did not need to show her identity card. She was charged with one count of obstructing a public officer and appeared for mention today (13th) at Eastern Magistrates’ Court. The prosecution and defence agreed to deal with the case by way of a bind-over. Magistrate Stephanie May Har Tsui approved her entering into a recognisance of HK$2,000 to keep the peace for 24 months, and the charge was withdrawn.

Chow Hang-tung’s June 4 incitement-to-unlawful-assembly sentence appeal dismissed; 15-month term upheld

鄒幸彤六四煽惑集結案 刑期上訴被駁回 維持判囚15月

At the 2021 June 4 memorial gathering in Victoria Park, Chow Hang-tung, then vice-chairwoman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, was accused of posting an appeal for members of the public to participate. She was charged with incitement to unlawful assembly and convicted at trial, receiving a 15-month prison sentence. She initially succeeded in her appeal and had her conviction quashed. The Department of Justice subsequently succeeded in its final appeal, and the Court of Final Appeal restored Chow’s conviction and remitted her sentence appeal to the Court of First Instance. On Wednesday (the 21st), High Court Judge Esther Toh dismissed Chow’s sentence appeal and upheld the original sentence. The judge said that, in dealing with the appeal in this case, the Court of Final Appeal had already ruled that the prohibition issued by police because of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic was necessary and proportionate. The appellant therefore could not seek to have the sentence appeal allowed on the ground that the pandemic was not severe. The judge also found no impropriety in the sentence and no grounds to interfere with the magistrate’s sentencing decision. After learning of the judgment, Chow smiled, shrugged and waved to the public gallery before leaving. It is understood that she is required to serve the sentence in this case until 8 March. She is also remanded in custody in the separate case in which the Alliance is accused of subversion.

2021 年六四維園悼念集會,時任支聯會副主席鄒幸彤被指發文呼籲市民參與,被控煽惑集結,原審罪成判囚 15 個月;她一度上訴得直獲撤銷定罪,及後律政司終極上訴得直,終院恢復對鄒的定罪裁決,並將刑期上訴發還高院原訟庭。 高院法官張慧玲周三(21 日)駁回鄒幸彤的刑期上訴,維持原審判刑,指終院在處理本案上訴時,已裁定警方因新冠疫情嚴重而發出禁令,是必要及相稱,故上訴方不能以疫情不嚴重為由,要求她批准刑期上訴。官又認為刑期上並無不當之處,無理據干預裁判官判刑。 鄒幸彤聞悉判決後,笑著聳肩,向旁聽席揮手後離開。據了解,鄒須就本案刑期,服刑至 3 月 8 日,她另就「支聯會被指煽動顛覆案」須還押。

Court of Final Appeal rules police had broad discretion in Chow Hang-tung June 4 incitement case; police require participant identification at recent gatherings

鄒幸彤六四煽惑集結案 終院裁警擁寬闊酌情權 翻查近月集會警要求識別參與者

In the case involving Chow Hang-tung’s alleged incitement of a June 4 gathering, the Court of Final Appeal ruled at the end of January 2024 that the police ban on the 2021 June 4 vigil was lawful, and said the police had broad discretion. Leung Kam-wai, then a standing committee member of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China who liaised with the police, said he had proposed measures in line with the government’s anti-epidemic rules at the time. The police also raised questions, but did not respond to the concerns or propose conditions. A review of 16 public processions and gatherings issued with letters of no objection over approximately the past month found that in 15 cases, the police required organisers to assist in identifying participants, such as requiring participants to carry small flags, wear specified clothing or put on stickers. Leung Kam-wai said the police had never previously required assistance in identifying participants, and believed the current measures undermined freedom of assembly. The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, whose affiliated union had obtained a letter of no objection to hold a procession, said through its chairman Wong Kwok that it respected the new arrangements and could basically adapt to them. He also said he did not want incidents like those in previous years, when processions turned violent, to happen again.

在鄒幸彤涉煽惑六四集會案,終院 2024 年 1 月底裁定,警方禁止 2021 年六四晚會的禁令合法,又指警方有寬闊的酌情權。當年與警方接洽的前支聯會常委梁錦威指,曾按當時政府的防疫規定提出措施,警方亦有提出問題,但沒回應擔憂,或提出條件。 翻查近約一個月獲發「不反對通知書」的 16 個公眾遊行、集會,發現當中 15 個,警方都要求主辦方協助識別參與者身分等,例如參與者需持小旗、穿指定衣飾、貼上貼紙等。 梁錦威指,警方過去從沒要求協助識別參加者,認為現時措施有損集會自由。有屬會獲得「不反」舉辦遊行的工聯會,理事長黃國則稱尊重新安排,「基本上適應到」,又指不希望再有前幾年,遊行變成暴力的事件發生。

Conviction for inciting June 4 gathering restored; Chow Hang-tung denied bail pending sentence appeal

煽惑六四集會恢復定罪 鄒幸彤申保釋候刑期上訴結果遭拒

The police banned the June 4 vigil in 2021. Chow Hang-tung, former vice-chairwoman of the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, was accused of inciting members of the public on social media and in articles published in Ming Pao to participate in an unauthorised assembly. She was convicted at trial and sentenced to 15 months in prison, but subsequently won her appeal, with her conviction and sentence quashed. The Department of Justice appealed, and the Court of Final Appeal ruled last Thursday (25th) that the appeal was successful, restoring Chow’s conviction and remitting her sentence appeal to a High Court judge for handling. Chow applied at the High Court today (30th) for bail pending the outcome of her sentence appeal. After hearing submissions from both sides, judge Cheung Wai-ling rejected the application and also refused to lift restrictions on reporting the bail proceedings. Chow must continue serving her sentence. As Chow left the court, a member of the public in the gallery waved and said, “Take care!” Chow also waved with a smile and said, “Happy New Year! Bye bye!”

2021年六四晚會遭警方禁止,已解散的支聯會前副主席鄒幸彤被指在社交媒體和《明報》發文煽惑市民參與未經批准集結,原審罪成判囚15個月,她其後上訴得直,獲撤銷定罪及刑罰。律政司提出上訴,終院上周四(25日)裁定律政司上訴得直,恢復鄒的定罪,刑期上訴發還高院法官處理。鄒幸彤今(30日)於高院申請保釋等候刑期上訴結果,法官張慧玲聽畢雙方陳詞後拒絕申請,亦拒絕解除報導保釋程序的限制,鄒須繼續服刑。鄒幸彤離庭時,旁聽人士揮手說:「保重!」,鄒亦面帶笑容揮手說:「新年快樂!Bye bye!」

Chow Hang-tung’s June 4 incitement-to-assembly case reaches final appeal; DOJ says allowing challenge to police “ban” in trial could undermine rule of law

鄒幸彤六四煽惑集結案終極上訴 律政司:若容審訊中爭議警「禁令」合法性或削法治

The Court of Final Appeal heard the Department of Justice’s final appeal on Wednesday (22) in Chow Hang-tung’s 2021 June 4 incitement-to-assembly case. Chow, who is remanded in custody in the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China’s national security case, was brought to the Court of Final Appeal from prison. Wearing a dark green long-sleeved shirt, with her hair tied in a ponytail and black-framed glasses, she repeatedly grinned broadly at friends and relatives in the public gallery. The five judges reserved judgment after hearing submissions from both sides. The Department of Justice argued that defendants should not be allowed to challenge the legality of a police-issued assembly “ban” during a criminal trial, as this could lead the public to mistakenly believe that it need not be obeyed and thereby weaken the rule of law. It also argued that anyone dissatisfied with the ban should seek judicial review. Moreover, given the pandemic situation at the time, the police had “reasonably” prohibited large-scale gatherings to protect public safety. Chow’s side countered that defendants should have the right to dispute the legality of the “ban” during a criminal trial. Judicial review, it said, involved substantial expenditure and resources; a defendant might have to apply for legal aid, which could also be refused. The police should instead have fulfilled their “positive duty” under the Public Order Ordinance by proposing conditions under which an assembly could be held, such as a limit on attendance, to reduce the risk of infection, rather than imposing an outright ban. Before the hearing began, about 10 to 20 middle-aged people queued outside the Court of Final Appeal to attend. After the hearing, reporters asked three of them which case they had attended and the defendant’s name. They hurried away without responding.

鄒幸彤 2021 年六四煽惑集結案,終審法院周三(22 日)審理律政司終極上訴。正因支聯會國安案還押的鄒幸彤,由懲教押送至終院,她身穿墨綠色長袖恤衫、束馬尾,戴黑框眼鏡,不時向公眾席親友咧嘴燦笑。5 法官聽畢雙方陳詞後,擇日頒下判詞。 律政司一方指,被告在刑事審訊中,不應獲准挑戰由警方發出集會「禁令」的合法性,否則會令公眾誤以為毋須遵守,導致削弱法治;又指若有不服應提司法覆核。再者,根據當時疫情,警方是「合理地」禁止舉行大型集會,保障公眾安全。 鄒幸彤一方反駁,被告應有權在刑事審訊中爭議「禁令」的合法性,而司法覆核又牽涉大量支出及資源,被告或需申請法援,亦可能被拒等;而警方應履行《公安條例》下的「積極責任」,提出容許集會的條件,如設人數限制等,減低傳染風險,而非斷言禁止。 開庭前,約 10 至 20 名中年人在終院外輪候旁聽。散庭後,記者問其中 3 人旁聽甚麼案件、被告名字等,他們急步離開,沒有回應。

June 4, 2021 | Keung Ka Wai and three others found not guilty of breaching gathering restrictions; Department of Justice seeks review

2021六四|「姜牧師」等4人違限聚罪名不成立 律政司提覆核

On June 4, 2021, police for the second time refused to approve the Alliance’s memorial vigil, citing the pandemic, and cordoned off Victoria Park. Keung Ka Wai Keung Ka Wai, described as the founder of online media outlet “Free HK Media”, and three other online media reporters were accused of breaching the gathering restrictions outside Victoria Park in the early hours of the following day. After trial in October this year, they were found not guilty. The Department of Justice confirmed to The Witness on Wednesday (the 8th) that it had applied to the court to review the verdict; no hearing date has yet been set. In addition, on October 31, Keung Ka Wai uploaded a photograph of an airport to a personal Facebook account, writing: “Take care, everyone! After parting today, who knows when we will meet again,” and “See you in the future.” He later confirmed in a media interview that he had left Hong Kong and disclosed that he was in Taiwan.

2021 年六四,警方第二度以疫情為由,拒批支聯會舉辦悼念晚會並封鎖維園。報稱網媒「Free HK Media」創辦人的「姜牧師」姜嘉偉等 4 名網媒記者,被指翌日凌晨於維園外違反「限聚令」,今年 10 月經審訊後被裁定罪名不成立。律政司周三(8 日)向《法庭線》確認,已向法庭申請覆核裁決,暫未有聆訊日子。 另外,姜嘉偉在 10 月 31 日,於個人 Facebook 帳戶上載機場照片,稱「各位珍重!今日一別未知幾時會再見」、「未來見」。他其後接受傳媒訪問確認已離港,並透露身在台灣。
