民間電台街站掛橫額聲援在囚、罪成罰款 曾健成向官稱其裁決「係香港無聲嘅未來」
League of Social Democrats member “Ah Niu” Tsang Kin-shing and two other Citizen’s Radio volunteers were accused of setting up a street station and displaying banners, posters and other items in Causeway Bay in May 2022 in support of prisoners without the Lands Department’s approval. After trial, all three were convicted of “displaying/affixing bills or posters on government land without permission”, fined $2,500 each, and ordered to share removal costs of $157.4.
In delivering her ruling, magistrate Vivian Wai Han Ho said that the process of the defendants’ setting up the street station showed that the items were definitely displayed to a certain extent “permanently, or with habitual regularity”. She also said there was no indication of bias in enforcement. Tsang Kin-shing told the magistrate that following the convictions, it would be difficult to obtain the Lands Department’s approval, saying: “It will be very difficult to set up street stations in Hong Kong in the future,” and “Can’t you tell us which way to go?”
Tsang also asked the magistrate to state in her written judgment that the Lands Department should not “create excuses to prevent people from applying”. The magistrate said she would not make any further ruling. Tsang subsequently said: “Your judgment today… is Hong Kong’s silent future.”
社民連成員「阿牛」曾健成及另外兩名「民間電台」義工，被指 2022 年 5 月在銅鑼灣，未得地政總署批准下，擺設街站並展示橫額、海報等聲援在囚者，被控「未經准許而在政府土地展示／張貼招貼或海報」，經審訊後均被裁定罪成，各被判罰 2,500 元，另須共同承擔 157.4 元移除費。
裁判官何慧嫻裁決時指，從被告設置街站過程等可見，物品絕對屬某程度上「永久，或具慣常規律性」展示，又指看不見執法上有偏頗；曾健成則向官表示，是次被判罪成後，因難以得到地政總署批准，「日後香港係好難可以擺到街站」、「你話唔話到條路畀我哋聽？」
曾又向官提出，希望她在判詞「寫明地政署係應該唔好巧立明目，唔畀人申請」，官則指沒進一步裁決；曾之後表示「你今日嘅判決…就係香港無聲嘅未來。」

區議員斥地政總署要求拆 12 港人、反國安法橫額 質疑違法濫權 署長強調非審查「跟指引做」
Displaying banners in the community is one of the rights of district councillors and Legislative Council members. In the past, pro-democracy district councillors and Legislative Council members said the Lands Department had asked them to remove banners concerning opposition to the national security law and support for the 12 Hong Kong people. The department’s director Chi Wah (1953) Lai was at the Yau Tsim Mong District Council today (24th), where pro-democracy councillors raised questions about the matter. Democratic Party lawmaker James To Kun-sun questioned whether the department had insufficient grounds for requesting the removal of the banners and had unlawfully exercised its powers. Chi Wah (1953) Lai stressed that removing the banners was “not content censorship”, saying that there had been complaints and that the department “follows the guidelines in everything it does”.
在社區懸掛橫額，是區議員及立法會議員的權利之一，但過去有民主派區議員和立法會議員，指被地政總署要求移除有關反國安法、聲援 12 港人主題等的橫額。地政總署署長黎志華今日（24 日）到油尖旺區議會時，有民主派議員就此提出質詢。民主黨涂謹申質疑，地政總署要求移除橫額的理據不足，違法使用權力。黎志華則強調移除橫額「非內容審查」，因有人投訴「一切跟指引做」。

地政處指「立即釋放12港人」橫額違法 黃碧雲轟無理表明拒拆除
Democratic Party Legislative Council member Au Pui-wan received a notice from the Kowloon West District Lands Office saying that two banners she put up on Princess Road in Ho Man Tin were illegal and requiring her to remove them within two days. The banners bore the messages “Save 12 HK Youths” and “Resist brainwashing education”, along with her name and the Legislative Council emblem. Au condemned the demand as unreasonable and said she would not remove the banners. She accused the government of making things difficult in every possible way and moving towards an authoritarian regime, saying, “It wants everyone to keep quiet and not be allowed to say things the government does not like to hear.”
民主黨立法會議員黃碧雲接獲九龍西區地政處通知，指其位於何文田公主道的兩幅橫額違法，要求其在兩日內拆除。該兩張橫額印有「立即釋放12港人 Save 12 HK Youths」、「抵抗洗腦教育」和其名字及立法會標記。黃碧雲炮轟不合理，表明不會拆除；斥政府百般勻難和步向專制政權，「要所有人收聲，唔可以講政府唔鍾意聽嘅嘢。」
