Department of Justice Cites Insufficient Evidence as Charges Against Kwok Wai-keung Dropped; He Refuses to Apologise, Saying It All Stemmed from Legislative Council Chaos and So-called Protests
律政司指證據不足 郭偉強獲撤控 堅拒道歉：一切源於議會混亂所謂抗爭
Raymond Chan Chi-chuen of People Power, then a Legislative Council member, brought a private prosecution against FTU lawmaker Kwok Wai-keung, alleging that Kwok pulled Chan’s shirt from behind and threw him to the ground during a Legislative Council House Committee meeting in early May this year. Kwok had previously denied the charge. The Department of Justice formally intervened in the case today (the 9th) at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts and decided not to proceed with the prosecution on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient and there was no prima facie case. The court announced that the summons charge was withdrawn. Kwok refused to apologise to Chan, saying, “It all stemmed from chaos in the legislature and the so-called protests,” and that “those who spread poison and poisoned others should apologise even more.”
時任立法會議員、人民力量陳志全向工聯會郭偉強提出私人檢控，指稱郭於今年5月初在立法會內務事務委員會期間，從後拉扯陳恤衫並將他摔倒在地，郭偉強早前已否認控罪。律政司今（9日）在西九龍裁判法院正式提出介入案件，並以證據不足、表證不成立為由，決定不提證供起訴郭，法庭宣布傳票指控撤銷。郭偉強堅拒向陳志全道歉，稱「一切源於議會混亂及所謂抗爭」，「播毒及投毒更應道歉」。
