蘋果案裁決．旁聽師｜逾百人庭外排隊 懷疑排隊黨提早 24 小時進駐 內地生首次旁聽
Former Next Digital Group founder Jimmy Lai, three companies of Apple Daily and six editorial staff members were charged with offences including conspiracy to collude with a foreign country and conspiracy to publish seditious publications. The case is the first trial involving the offence of conspiracy to collude with a foreign country and spans five years. The verdict was delivered at 10 a.m. today (15th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. At around 8 a.m., more than 100 people were already queuing outside the court. Police stepped up deployment and patrols, but positions approximately 2 to 60 were suspected to have been taken by “queueing gangs”, leading court observers to believe they could only enter the overflow courtroom.
“Auntie”, who has attended hearings for years, said she had originally planned to queue outside the court at 11 a.m. yesterday, but found dozens of suspected queueing-gang members already there when she arrived. “I really regret not coming earlier. I’m very disappointed,” she said. She hoped that Jimmy Lai, whose health has deteriorated, could be released to receive medical treatment. A mainland student attending a hearing for the first time said he had followed Hong Kong current affairs since 2019 and described the direction Hong Kong had taken today as not what he wanted. Commenting on Apple Daily, he said its existence in the past had failed to help resolve conflicts between Hong Kong and the mainland, but added: “After all, it was a media outlet. It might have been anti-China or anti-Communist—whatever the case, its very existence was already an expression of freedom of speech.”
前壹傳媒集團創辦人黎智英、與《蘋果日報》三公司、六名編採人員被控「串謀勾結外國勢力」、「串謀發布煽動刊物」等罪；本案是首宗勾結外國勢力罪的審訊，案件橫跨五年，今早（15日）10 時於西九龍裁判法院頒下裁決。早上約八時，已有逾百人在庭外排隊等候，警方加強部署和巡查，不過約第 2 至 60 位都懷疑被「排隊黨」佔據，旁聽師相信只能進入延伸庭。
旁聽多年的「姨婆」說，昨日原來預計 11 點到庭外排隊，未料到場時已有數十名懷疑排隊黨，「都好後悔我自己唔早啲嚟，好失望」，她期望身體狀況變差的黎智英可獲釋就醫。有首次旁聽的內地生說，自 2019 年後一直關心香港時事，形容今日的香港發展非他所願。他又評價《蘋果》指，過去其存在沒能幫助化解中港矛盾，然而「畢竟一個媒體，可能佢反中、反共，點都好，存在本身已經係一種言論自由嘅表現。」

被指六四晚銅鑼灣、九月高院送囚車後襲3警 24歲男認3罪判囚10周
A 24-year-old man, a frequent court attendee nicknamed “Fatty” who has a mild intellectual disability, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (the 4th) at Eastern Magistrates’ Court to three counts of assaulting police officers. Chief Magistrate Don Man Lung So sentenced him to 10 weeks’ imprisonment for the two cases.
The court heard that on June 4 this year, after the defendant’s grandaunt shouted slogans including “Support the National Security Law” in Causeway Bay, a police officer tried to move her into a cordoned-off area and separate her from other people. The defendant then slapped the faces of an officer from the Police Media Liaison Unit and an inspector. In September this year, after seeing off a prisoner van outside the High Court, the defendant was stopped by police and asked to produce his identity card. He suddenly slapped the right side of a police officer’s face with his left hand.
法庭旁聽常客、綽號「肥仔」、患輕度智障的 24 歲男子，被指繼今年六四兩度襲警後，再在高院聽審後襲警，他周三（4 日）在東區裁判法院承認 3 項「襲擊警務人員」罪。主任裁判官蘇文隆就兩案判被告監禁 10 周。
案情指，今年 6 月 4 日，被告的姨婆在銅鑼灣高呼 「支持國安法」等口號後，有警員嘗試將姨婆拉入封鎖範圍，與其他人士分隔。被告則分別拍打傳媒聯絡組的警員及督察臉部。另被告於今年 9 月在高院外送囚車後，被警員截查，要求出示身份證，被告突然用左手拍打警員的右臉。

黎智英案｜庭外約70人排隊 市民通宵冒雨衣衫盡濕：畀佢知，香港人無忘記佢嘅精神
The case against Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai and three companies linked to Apple Daily, involving charges including “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces”, resumed on Wednesday (the 20th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, temporarily serving as the High Court, after an adjournment of nearly four months. Lai appeared in court in person to give evidence. Outside, heavy rain continued as about 100 people queued for seats in the public gallery. Some went straight to queue for Lai’s case after attending the sentencing in the primary election case yesterday. Those waiting had to hold umbrellas for extended periods; some wore raincoats or wrapped themselves in reflective thermal blankets.
At about 7 a.m., around 70 people remained in the queue. One person who had queued overnight said that, because it had rained throughout the night, “my feet were completely soaked”, and said they hoped to attend the hearing “to let him [Lai] know that Hong Kong people have not forgotten his spirit.” Another person was unhappy about suspected “queueing gangs”, saying, “They simply don’t know why they came. I think this has undermined the right of other ordinary members of the public to attend the hearing.”
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英與《蘋果日報》3 間相關公司，被控「串謀勾結外國勢力」等罪案件，距上次休庭近 4 個月後，案件周三（20 日）於西九龍裁判法院（暫代高等法院）續審，黎智英親自出庭作供。在庭外，現場持續下大雨，約 100 名市民排隊輪候旁聽席位，有人昨日旁聽初選案判刑後，隨即再就黎智英案排隊。排隊市民需要長期舉傘，部分人身穿雨衣，或披上反光保溫毯。
至今早約 7 時，輪候旁聽隊伍有約 70 人排隊。有通宵排隊的市民稱，由於全晚下雨「隻腳濕晒」，希望到場旁聽「畀佢（黎）知，香港市民無忘記佢嘅精神。」亦有市民不忿有疑似「排隊黨」，「佢根本唔知自己點解要嚟，我覺得件事係損害咗，其他一般市民聽審嘅權利。」

47人案判刑｜市民冒雨通宵排隊高峰期500人 梁晃維中學老師：佢哋向香港人交代咗
In the case in which pro-democracy figures were charged with conspiracy to subvert state power, 45 defendants found guilty were sentenced on Tuesday (19th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, which was temporarily acting as the High Court. The 45 were ultimately sentenced to between four years and two months and 10 years. Several members of the public had already arrived to queue overnight from Sunday (17th). From the early hours of Tuesday, the rain and wind intensified and temperatures fell. People in the queue opened umbrellas and covered themselves with foil blankets to keep warm; the queue peaked at about 500 people.
Ying Chi (Med) Lee, who had earlier been arrested over alleged sedition under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, was stopped and questioned by police at the scene. Li said officers told him that his Facebook post saying “Everyone head to West Kowloon” involved sedition, and quoted police as saying that after registering his identity card, it constituted a “formal warning” and that “if I do it again, they will arrest me”. League of Social Democrats member Wong Ho-ming, Dickson Chau, and Tsang Kin-shing were also taken away by police for questioning briefly while queuing. Regarding claims that there were “queueing gangs” at the scene, Tsang said: “They’ve already gone all out and done everything they can to suppress us, and now they even send queueing gangs here, not allowing us to see our family members and friends. It’s a bit much.”
Teacher Lam, Leung Wong-wai’s secondary school teacher, who had attended the hearings several times, also came to the scene. He said Leung had “remained very steadfast” and “insisted on coming to witness it; they have given Hong Kong people an account ... Regardless of how many years they are sentenced to, basically this is the final historical turning point, or breakthrough development.”
民主派被控「串謀顛覆國家政權」罪一案，45 名罪成被告周二（19 日）在西九龍裁判法院（暫代高院）判刑。45 人最終被判 4 年 2 個月至 10 年不等。早於周日（17 日）起，已有多名市民到場通宵排隊。周二凌晨起，雨勢及風勢增強、氣溫下降，排隊人士紛紛撐傘及蓋上錫紙保暖，高峰期約 500 人排隊。
早前被指違反《維護國安條例》下煽動罪，一度被捕的李盈姿，在現場曾遭警方截查，李稱警員指，其 FB 帖文寫有「全世界出西九」涉煽動，並引述警方稱，登記身份證後屬「正式警告」，「再犯就會拉我」。社民連的黃浩銘、周嘉發、曾健成亦於排隊期間，一度被警員帶走截查。對於現場被指有「排隊黨」，曾健成稱「已經趕到盡、殺到絕，仲要派啲排隊黨嚟，連家人朋友都唔畀見，係有少少那個啦。」
多次到場旁聽，梁晃維的中學老師林老師亦有到場。他指梁「一路好硬淨」，「一定要嚟一嚟見證，佢哋向香港人交代咗……無論判幾多年都好啦，基本上係最後一個歷史轉折，或者突破發展。」

The Judiciary announced on Tuesday (19th) that 70 seats in the main courtroom would be allocated to members of the public in the “Jimmy Lai case”, with a further 309 seats in an extension courtroom. On the same morning, after sentencing in the “47-person primary election case”, members of the public immediately returned to queue outside the court for seats to observe the Apple Daily case the following day. By the afternoon, about 50 people were queuing.
In the evening, police sent officers to form a line and observe the spectators face-to-face at close range. Members of the public in the queue said that some people tried to leave the queue in the evening to show support and see off a prison van, after which police immediately deployed several officers to monitor the entire viewing queue face-to-face. Reporters observed that at the peak, each officer guarded the queue from a distance of less than one metre, while some officers also watched what books people in the queue were reading. Some people queuing questioned whether police were trying to issue a warning, but said they were not worried: “If you’re worried, go home.”

警方則在傍晚派員，排成一列隊伍，近距離面對面觀察旁聽人士。據現場旁聽隊伍內的市民指，傍晚有排隊中的市民嘗試離開隊伍，聲援、送別囚車，警方隨即派出多名警員，面對面監視整條旁聽隊伍。記者現場觀察，最高峰時，每名警員各自以相隔不足一米看守隊伍，亦有警員觀察排隊市民正閱讀甚麼書本。有排隊市民質疑警方欲施「下馬威」，但表示不擔心，「如果擔心就返屋企啦」。

The 45 pro-democracy figures charged with conspiracy to subvert state power in the “35+ subversion case” are due to be sentenced tomorrow (19th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. At about 7pm today (18th), while queueing outside the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, Ying Chi (Med) Lee was suddenly asked by police officers at the scene to leave the queue, and her phone was searched. It is understood that Ying Chi (Med) Lee had earlier posted wording on social media calling on people to attend the court hearing. Ying Chi (Med) Lee subsequently said the officers asked her to “deal with it” herself, implying that she would be arrested if she did not. After deleting the post, Ying Chi (Med) Lee was allowed to leave. In addition, the main roads around the West Kowloon court complex were filled with “modular vehicle barriers”.

The defendants are due to be sentenced at 10am on Tuesday (the 19th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. Matthew Chun Lam, a former Yuen Long district councillor of the “Tin Shui Wai Connection” and a “comrade” of defendant Ng Kin-wai, said Ng was “now relieved and enlightened, and has done everything he should have done”.
Lam said that over the past three and a half years, for many families and friends “outside the walls”, “everyone’s time was, to some extent, at a standstill”. With sentencing day finally approaching, Lam said: “I hope everyone can move on properly and continue living their lives well.” Ms C, who also said she hoped to see Ng Kin-wai in person, said she hoped Ng could be released as soon as possible: “Everyone wants it to end sooner, so we can get together and have a meal.” Reporters also asked more than 10 members of the public at the front of the queue and more than 10 at the back what case they were waiting to attend and why they had queued early, but received no response.
The Judiciary said that 404 public seats and 71 press seats would be arranged in the main courtroom and extended courtrooms on Tuesday. The main courtroom would have only five public gallery seats, with the remaining seats distributed across six other extension areas.

黎智英案開審｜法院外數十人排隊 輪候旁聽市民：言論自由精神與黎一同受審
Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai and three companies of Apple Daily have been charged with offences including “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces”. The trial opened at the West Kowloon Court on Monday (the 18th). (See separate report.) Some members of the public began queuing on Sunday night to attend the hearing. The Judiciary issued about 140 spectator tickets in its first round. One person near the front of the queue said: “There are many things standing trial together with him—newspapers, a spirit of freedom of speech… I want to be with him and hope to give him strength.”
Outside the court, anti-terrorism personnel, armoured vehicles and a large number of police officers were on standby. The National Security Department chief Kelvin Hok Lai Kong visited the scene to inspect the arrangements. “Granny Wong” was taken to the designated protest area opposite the court after waving a British Hong Kong flag in protest. Consular officials from several countries and a representative of Reporters Without Borders also queued to attend the hearing. After the court adjourned, the prison van carrying Lai left under escort, with police motorcycles leading the way and numerous police officers providing security.
In the morning, some media outlets went to a high point on a slope beside Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre to try to film Lai boarding the prison van, but a police officer “strongly advised” them to leave. Police said they had received a report of a “suspicious person”. After officers arrived and learned that the person was a reporter filming, they found no criminal element was involved and recorded the matter as a request for police investigation.

【元朗7.21】控方投訴公眾休庭時「大聲插嘴近乎呼喝」 官指屬藐視法庭將跟進
In the Yuen Long 7.21 incident in 2019, former Democratic Party Legislative Council member Lam Cheuk-ting, who was attacked by men in white and thanked by police for reporting the incident, and six men charged with rioting continued their trial at the District Court today (19th). The prosecution and defence’s agreed facts state that at 10:52 p.m. on 21 July, three police officers arrived at Exit G1 of Yuen Long Station and left after staying briefly; CCTV showed them there for about 92 seconds. Dozens of police officers arrived at 11:15 p.m. Later, during a court recess, the prosecution and defence argued over trial procedures. A member of the public shouted, “Here comes a case within a case!” The prosecution complained that a spectator was “loudly interrupting, almost shouting at us!” and asked the court to remind the public to observe proper conduct. Judge Chan Kwong-chi said, “This is not about rules; this is contempt.” He said those responsible for the case and others should stop the person and record their identity-card details, and that he would pass the CCTV footage to the prosecution for consideration of whether to deal with the matter through criminal contempt-of-court proceedings.

涉四度旁聽時穿黃傘圖案衞衣等 男子認藐視法庭 判囚2月緩刑2年、須付31萬訟費
In December 2021, a middle-aged man was accused of wearing a hat and a black sweatshirt bearing a yellow umbrella design, among other items, on four occasions while attending hearings at the High Court and West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. On one occasion, after being stopped by security, he forced his way into the courtroom, injuring a security guard when pushing the door. He also asked the judge to explain whether the prohibition on wearing the clothing in question in court was the judge’s intention.
The defendant pleaded guilty to contempt of court at the High Court on Wednesday (the 26th). After hearing submissions from both sides, Judge Anthony Kin Keung Chan handed down judgment in the afternoon, sentencing him to two months’ imprisonment suspended for two years and ordering him to pay HK$310,000 in punitive costs to the Department of Justice.
2021 年 12 月，中年男子被指四度在高等法院、西九龍裁判法院聽審時，戴帽及穿著印有黃傘圖案的黑色衞衣等。其中一次，他被保安阻止後，強行進入法庭，推門時撞傷保安，又要求法官解釋，不能穿涉事衣物入庭，是否法官的意思。
被告周三（26 日）在高等法院承認藐視法庭罪，法官陳健強聽畢雙方陳詞，下午頒下判詞，判被告監禁兩個月，緩刑兩年，並須向律政司支付 31 萬元懲罰性訟費。
