經貿辦職員被控助情報機關 案件明年 2 月開審 一被告身亡終止起訴
The Metropolitan Police announced last Monday (13th) that three men, including Yuen Chung-piu, a staff member of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London, had allegedly assisted a foreign intelligence service and carried out foreign interference activities, in breach of the National Security Act passed locally last year. One of the defendants, Matthew Trickett, was found dead in a park near his home earlier this week. The cause of death is unknown.
The case was heard again at the Central Criminal Court in London on Friday afternoon Hong Kong time (24th). As Matthew Trickett had died, the court terminated the prosecution against him.
The case is scheduled to go to trial at Kingston Crown Court on 10 February next year, and will be heard again at the Central Criminal Court on 25 October this year. The defendants Yuen Chung-piu and Chi Leung (Peter) Wai were allowed to remain on bail.

美控5華人間諜罪 何俊仁疑曾遭套話
The US Department of Justice has charged Wang Shujun, described as the “head of a pro-democracy organisation”, and four Chinese national security officials with participating in a transnational scheme to suppress dissidents and committing espionage offences. According to the case details, former Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China vice-chairman Albert Ho Chun-yan was allegedly sounded out by Wang Shujun, with the information passed on to national security authorities.
The US Department of Justice said at least one Hong Kong pro-democracy figure was arrested as a result and was identified as “Hong Kong Dissident #1”. According to the indictment, Wang Shujun allegedly met a pro-democracy figure in 2016, asked “necessary questions”, and reported the conversation to the aforementioned national security officials. The information included Hong Kong elections and analysis of the political situation. The indictment said Dissident #1 was arrested on 18 April 2020 in connection with organising an unauthorised assembly on 1 October 2019. A comparison of the available information suggests that the person’s identity corresponds to Albert Ho Chun-yan.
美國司法部起訴「民運組織負責人」王書君(圖)和4名中國國安官員參與一項跨國打壓異見者計劃,觸犯間諜罪。根據案情,前支聯會副主席何俊仁疑曾遭王書君套話,內容被轉告國安部門。
美國司法部透露,至少一名香港民主派人士因而被捕,以「Hong Kong Dissident #1」標示。根據起訴書,王書君涉嫌於2016年與一名民主派人士會面查問「必要問題」,並將對話告知上述國安官員,內容包括香港選舉、政局分析等。起訴書指出,Dissident #1於2020年4月18日被捕,涉於2019年10月1日組織未經批准集結。對比資料,該人身分與何俊仁脗合。
