【立場案】檢控涉案文章作者?李桂華:視乎是否具煽動意圖
Stand News was alleged to have published seditious articles. Former editor-in-chief Chung Pui-kuen and acting editor-in-chief Lam Siu-tong were found guilty today at the District Court of conspiracy to publish seditious publications. Asked whether police would investigate and take further action against the journalists and bloggers who wrote the articles, after the court found that the articles in question had seditious intent, National Security Department Chief Superintendent Li Guihua said it would depend on whether the articles had seditious intent: “As for the authors and those responsible for writing them, we will look at one thing: whether they had seditious intent in doing so. If they did, we will discuss with the Department of Justice whether prosecution is ultimately appropriate.”
《立場新聞》涉嫌發布煽動性文章,前總編輯鍾沛權及署任總編輯林紹桐今日在區域法院,被裁定串謀發布煽動刊物罪名成立。對於法庭已就涉案文章裁定具煽動意圖,警方會否就撰寫文章的記者、博客作調查及進一步行動。國安處總警司李桂華表示,會視乎文章是否有煽動意圖:「就作者,同埋嗰啲負責寫嘅人士,我哋會睇睇一樣嘢,佢哋有無煽動意圖做呢一樣嘢,如果有嘅話,我哋會同律政處商量,究極適唔適合檢控嘅情況。」

李桂華拒評周庭「深圳遊」指「不便公開」 稱警方保釋條件「唔係鐵板一塊、有傾有講」
The police National Security Department held a press conference in the afternoon to announce an updated wanted list, including five Hong Kong people overseas: Simon Cheng, Hui Wing-ting, Laam Siu, and Tony Ming Da Choi and Johnny Ka Chi Fok, who founded the YouTube channel “升旗易得道”. The list did not include Agnes Chow, a former member of Demosistō who had just announced that she was in exile. Asked whether Chow’s claim that she had exchanged a “one-day trip to Shenzhen” for her passport was true, National Security Department Senior Superintendent Lee Kwai-wah did not deny it, saying only that it was “not convenient to disclose”. He said police bail conditions in national security cases were “not set in stone and open to discussion”, but said Chow’s failure to return was clearly “telling lies, her credibility has collapsed; I believe the problem lies with her”. Lee also urged Chow to return to Hong Kong to deal with “this matter” before her bail period expires.
警方國家安全處下午見記者,公布更新通緝名單,包括5名海外港人鄭文傑、許穎婷、邵嵐以及創立 YouTube 頻道「升旗易得道」的蔡明達、霍嘉誌,惟不包括剛宣布流亡的前「香港眾志」成員周庭。有記者問及周庭提及「深圳一日遊」換取護照是否屬實,國安處總警司李桂華未有否認,僅稱「不便公開」。他稱國安案件的警方保釋條件「唔係鐵板一塊、有傾有講」,但周庭一去不返是明顯「講大話啦、誠信破產啦,相信問題喺佢身上」。李桂華又呼籲周庭未到保釋期限,勸她回港處理「呢個問題」。

李桂華呼籲8名國安犯「返嚟自首啦」 認若不回港無法拘捕
The Hong Kong Police Force’s National Security Department placed eight Hong Kong people living overseas on its wanted list, accusing each of violating the National Security Law and offering a reward of HK$1 million for each. It also said it might freeze, restrict, seize and confiscate the relevant people’s assets to cut off the funding chain for activities endangering national security. Li Guihua urged them to surrender. Asked whether the wanted people could be arrested, he said: “As long as they do not return to Hong Kong, you cannot arrest them.” He acknowledged: “That is a fact. If they do not come back, what can we do?” He stressed that this did not mean the police had abandoned efforts to arrest them and gather evidence, saying they would collect evidence including the people’s words and actions, and “when they return to Hong Kong”, bring everything before the court together.
香港警方國安處通緝8名身處海外的港人,指控各人違反《國安法》,並懸紅每人100萬元,並稱或凍結、限制、沒收及充公有關人士財產以截斷危害國家安全活動的資金鏈。李桂華呼籲各人自首,被問是否通緝人士「一日唔返香港,你哋一日都拉唔到佢」,他承認:「呢個係一個事實,佢唔返嚟我哋點呢?」他強調不代表警方放棄緝捕及搜證,會搜集各人言行和證據,「有待佢哋返嚟香港時」,一併送上法庭。
