青年被控男廁寫煽動字句 認損壞財產否認煽動 庭上指涉案字眼曾見於「唐英傑案」
An 18-year-old youth was accused of writing seditious words on three occasions in a men’s washroom at China Hong Kong City in Tsim Sha Tsui in July this year. On Monday (15th), at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, he pleaded guilty to three counts of “destroying or damaging property” and not guilty to one count of “doing one or more acts with seditious intention”.
Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak adjourned the case to 23 February next year for a pre-trial review. The defendant may remain on bail under the existing conditions. The magistrate directed the defence to decide as soon as possible whether it would dispute the wording involved. The prosecution and defence must decide before the pre-trial review whether to call expert witnesses, while the prosecution must first deal with the agreed facts for charges other than the sedition charge. The court was told that the wording had previously appeared in the Tong Ying-kit case. The defence also said it would challenge at trial the voluntariness of the cautioned statement and the video-recorded interview, among other matters.
18 歲青年被指今年 7 月，三度於尖沙咀中港城男洗手間內寫上煽動字句。他周一（15 日）在西九龍裁判法院承認 3 項「摧毀或損壞財產」罪，並否認一項「出於煽動意圖作出一項或多項具煽動意圖的作為」罪。
總裁判官蘇惠德將案件押後到明年 2 月 23 日作審前覆核，被告可以原有條件保釋。官要求辯方盡早決定會否爭議涉案字眼，而控辯雙方需在審前覆核之前，決定會否就此傳召專家證人，控方則要先處理除「煽動」罪以外的同意案情。庭上透露，相關字眼曾出現在「唐英傑」案。另外辯方指，審訊時會爭議警誡口供、錄影會面的自願性等。

支聯會煽動顛覆案再延至明年1月開審 國際特赦斥當局藉長期審前關押打壓異見者
The trial of the case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China is accused of inciting others to subvert state power has been repeatedly delayed. The Hong Kong Judiciary’s website shows that the trial, originally scheduled for 11 November, has been postponed for a second time, to 22 January next year. The three defendants, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, have been detained for approximately 1,300 to 1,500 days. Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas criticised the authorities for attempting to use prolonged pre-trial detention to suppress dissent and called for their immediate release.
This is the second postponement of the trial in the case against the now-dissolved Hong Kong Alliance, its former chairman Lee Cheuk-yan, former vice-chairman Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, who are charged with inciting others to subvert state power. The trial was initially scheduled for May this year, but the court postponed it early this year to 11 November; it has now been further delayed to 22 January next year. Lee, 64, Ho, 69, and Chow, 36, were arrested in September 2021. Lee and Chow were repeatedly denied bail and have remained in custody for more than 1,500 days, while Ho was granted bail temporarily in August 2022 but was remanded again in March the following year after being accused of breaching his bail conditions, bringing his total time in custody to about 1,300 days. All three originally intended to plead not guilty, but Ho earlier changed his position and now intends to plead guilty; he is discussing the facts of the case with the prosecution.
Luk Chi-man, director-general of Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas, criticised the prolonged detention of Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan and others before trial and conviction, saying it reflected an attempt by the authorities to use pre-trial detention as a means of oppression to isolate and suppress dissidents for an extended period. He said that under international human rights law, international human rights standards and the principle of the presumption of innocence, pre-trial detention should not become the norm, and the government had a responsibility to ensure that people detained pending trial were tried within a reasonable time. He added that the Hong Kong National Security Law used the vaguely defined notion of “endangering national security” as a pretext to systematically deprive defendants of the right to bail, seriously infringing their right to a fair trial. He said freedom of expression was a human right and people should not be arrested and prosecuted for commemorating the 4 June incident and seeking the historical truth, and called on the Hong Kong government to release them immediately and withdraw the charges.
支聯會被指煽動顛覆國家政權案的審訊一拖再拖，香港司法機構網頁顯示，案件由原定11月11日開審，第二度延期至明年1月22日。三名被告李卓人、何俊仁與鄒幸彤已被關押約1,300至1,500天不等，國際特赦組織香港海外分會批評，當局試圖藉長期審前關押打壓異見者，促立即放人。
今次是已解散的支聯會、前支聯會主席李卓人、前副主席何俊仁與鄒幸彤被控煽動他人顛覆國家政權罪的案件第二度延遲審訊。案件最先定在今年5月開審，但法庭在今年初將案件延至下月11日開審，惟最終仍要再延期至明年1月22日。64歲的李卓人、69歲的何俊仁及36歲的鄒幸彤於2021年9月被捕，李、鄒兩人曾多次申請保釋都被拒，一直還押至今超過1,500天；而何俊仁在2022年8月曾一度獲准保釋，但至翌年3月就被指違反保釋條件再度還押，累計亦還押了約1,300天。三人原本都擬不認罪，但何俊仁早前改為擬承認控罪，正跟控方商討案情。
國際特赦組織香港海外分會總幹事陸志民批評，鄒幸彤、李卓人等在未經審訊定罪下長期還押，反映當局試圖利用審前關押為壓迫手段，長時間孤立並打壓持不同政見人士。他指根據國際人權法與國際人權標準以及無罪推定原則，未審先囚不應成為通則，政府有責任確保被羈押候審者能在合理時間內受審。他續指「港區國安法」以定義模糊的「危害國家安全」為藉口，系統性剝奪被告獲准保釋的權利，嚴重侵害其公平審判權利。他稱表達自由是人權，不應因紀念六四及尋求歷史真相而被捕和起訴，促港府立即放人及撤銷控罪。

支聯會被指煽動顛覆案 原定11月開審 司法機構網站顯示再次延後至明年一月
The case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chairpersons and vice-chairpersons Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung are charged with “incitement to subversion of state power” was originally scheduled for Chow’s application to quash the indictment to be dealt with on 3 November this year, with the trial set to begin on 11 November. The latest information on the Judiciary’s website shows that the date for dealing with Chow’s application remains unchanged, while the scheduled trial date has been postponed to 22 January next year.
This is the second postponement of the trial date in the case. The Department of Justice said the court had directed that the substantive trial would begin on 22 January next year. As judicial proceedings are still ongoing, it would not be appropriate to comment on details of the case. The Law Society also contacted the Judiciary and is awaiting a response.
According to the reporter’s calculations, Ho Chun-yan has been remanded in custody for nearly 1,300 days, while Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have each been remanded for more than 1,500 days.
支聯會及其前正副主席李卓人、何俊仁、鄒幸彤被控「煽動顛覆國家政權」案，原定今年 11 月 3 日處理鄒的撤銷公訴書申請，預定開審日則為 11 月 11 日。司法機構網頁最新顯示，處理鄒幸彤申請日子不變，但預定開審日延後至明年 1 月 22 日。
是次為本案第二次押後審期。律政司回覆，法庭指示正審定於明年 1 月 22 日開始，由於司法程序仍在進行，不適宜就案件細節作出評論。《法庭線》亦向司法機構查詢，正待回覆。
按記者計算，何俊仁至今還押近 1,300 天，李卓人、鄒幸彤則至今還押逾 1,500 天。

19歲女子被指煽惑鼓勵投票以成立「香港議會」 被控煽動 還押至10.31再訊
A 19-year-old woman was charged with one count of incitement over allegations that she filmed promotional short videos and other materials between March and May this year, inciting and encouraging Hong Kong residents to vote to establish the “Hong Kong Parliament”. The case was first brought before the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday (the 26th).
The defendant wore a black short-sleeved top, and family members attended the hearing. The prosecution said the defence needed to review the case documents and seek legal advice before deciding on the defendant’s plea, and agreed to an adjournment.
The defendant applied for bail. After hearing submissions from both sides, designated National Security Law judge and Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak refused the bail application and adjourned the case until Oct 31 for a further hearing. The defendant was remanded in custody. The magistrate also directed the defence to inform the court of the defendant’s plea indication in advance on Oct 24.
19 歲女子被指於今年 3 月至 5 月期間拍攝宣傳短片等，被控一項煽動罪，指她煽惑和鼓勵香港居民參與投票以成立「香港議會」。案件周二（26 日）在西九龍裁判法院首度提堂。
被告穿黑色短袖上衣，家人到庭旁聽。控方指辯方需要閱讀案件文件、索取法律意見，再決定答辯意向，同意押後案件。
被告有保釋申請。《國安法》指定法官、總裁判官蘇惠德聽罷控辯陳詞後，拒絕保釋申請，並押後至 10 月 31 再訊，被告須還押。官亦要求辯方在 10 月 24 日，提前向法院表達答辯意向。

支聯會被指煽動顛覆案｜何俊仁改擬認罪 控辯商討案情撮要 案件11月開始處理
The case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chair and vice-chair, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, are charged with “inciting subversion of state power” was heard at the High Court on Monday (11th) for its second pre-trial review. The defence confirmed that Albert Ho would change his intended plea to guilty and said it had received the prosecution’s first draft of the statement of facts, which it was reviewing. It estimated that there was little likelihood of a Newton hearing (a Legal 101 article) being needed to dispute the facts of the case.
Judge Li Wan-tang said the case would be dealt with at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts in November this year as previously scheduled, with 75 days set aside, spanning Christmas and the Lunar New Year. He also said Chow Hang-tung’s applications would be dealt with first to determine “how the trial will proceed, or whether it will proceed at all”. Records show that Chow had earlier applied to have the indictment quashed, among other applications.
Albert Ho was arrested and remanded in 2021 and was granted bail for about seven months before being remanded again after allegedly breaching the conditions. He has now been in custody for more than 1,200 days. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have remained in custody throughout and have now been detained for more than 1,400 days.
支聯會及其前正副主席李卓人、何俊仁、鄒幸彤被控「煽動顛覆國家政權」案，周一（11 日）在高院召開第二次審前覆核。辯方確認何俊仁將改為擬認罪，並指已收到控方草擬的案情撮要初稿，辯方正檢視，估計需要召開紐頓聆訊（法律 101 文章）爭議案情的機會不大。
法官李運騰指案件將如早前所定，今年 11 月在西九龍裁判法院處理，預留 75 天，橫跨聖誕及農曆新年，又指會先處理鄒幸彤的申請，決定審訊「會如何進行，或者會唔會進行」。翻查資料，鄒早前提出「撤銷公訴書」等申請。
何俊仁自 2021 年被捕、還押，一度獲准保釋約 7 個月，其後被指違反條件遭重新收押，至今還押逾 1,200 天。李卓人、鄒幸彤則一直還押，至今逾 1,400 天。

FB發「黑警」、「智障法官」等帖文 36歲男子認煽動判囚12個月
A 36-year-old man was accused of posting more than 100 seditious posts and images on Facebook between March 2024 and January this year. He was charged with one count of knowingly publishing publications with a seditious intention. The defendant pleaded guilty at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (8th) and was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment.
In mitigation, barrister Randy Shu Ming Shek, representing the defendant, said most of the 117 posts involved reposting news reports about court judgments and current affairs, and that the content itself did not endanger national security. Although the defendant had added comments, their seriousness was relatively low. The barrister also said only eight of the posts had received one like each, while one image had received one response and the remaining posts had attracted no attention. The posts amounted only to the defendant “venting his emotions by talking to himself”, and were less serious than those in similar cases. The defence proposed a starting point for sentencing of 12 to 15 months.
National Security Law designated judge and Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak said when sentencing that the defendant had repeatedly smeared others through radical and irrational expressions based on allegations with no objective factual basis, intending to create feelings of hatred in society. He had also glorified and promoted violent acts in the “police-stabbing case”, intending to encourage others to carry on criminal behaviour, which amounted to advocating violence. After considering the overall facts of the case, the manner in which the offences were committed and all the circumstances, So Wai-tak said he did not accept the defence’s proposal and adopted 18 months as the starting point for sentencing. The sentence was reduced to 12 months after taking the guilty plea into account, with no other mitigating factors.
一名 36 歲男子被指於 2024 年 3 月至今年 1 月，於 Facebook 發布過百則煽動帖文、圖片等，被控一項「明知而發布具煽動意圖的刊物」罪。被告周四（8 日）於西九龍裁判法院認罪，判囚 12 個月。
大律師石書銘代表被告求情時指，涉案的 117 則帖文，大部分涉轉發有關法庭判決、時事等新聞報道，這些內容本身並非危害國安，雖然被告另加上評論，但嚴重性較低；又指涉案帖文中，只有 8 則有 1 個讚好，以及 1 張有 1 個回應，其他帖文無人理會，獲得注意非常少，僅屬被告「自說自話的情緒宣洩」，認為嚴重性在同類案件中較低，建議採 12 至 15 個月為量刑起點。
《國安法》指定法官、總裁判官蘇惠德判刑時指，被告不停以毫無客觀事實基礎的指控抹黑「通過激進且缺乏理性的表述」，意圖在社會製造仇恨情緒，並歌頌及宣揚「刺警案」中的暴力行為，意圖鼓勵他人傳承犯罪行為，屬鼓吹暴力。蘇惠德表示，考慮整體案情、犯案手法及所有情況後，未接納辯方建議，採納 18 個月為量刑起點，被告認罪扣減至 12 個月，無其他減刑因素。

22歲男子涉於X、IG發布煽動帖文 被控新煽動罪 還押至6.12再訊
A 22-year-old man was accused of publishing seditious posts on X and Instagram between June last year and April this year. He was charged under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance with knowingly publishing a publication with seditious intention. The case came before the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday (30th) for its first hearing.
The defendant was not required to enter a plea. The prosecution applied for an adjournment until June 12 to allow for further police investigations, including the defendant’s video-recorded interview and the examination of his mobile phone and computer. The prosecution also said police had found other publications at the defendant’s residence and indicated that further charges might be considered.
The defence applied for bail. After hearing submissions, designated National Security Law judge and Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak refused the application, and the defendant was remanded in custody.
22 歲男子被指於去年 6 月至今年 4 月期間，於 X 和 Instagram 發布煽動帖文，被控《維護國安條例》下的「明知而發布具煽動意圖的刊物」罪，案件周三（30 日）於西九龍裁判法院首次提堂。
被告暫毋須答辯，控方申請押後至 6 月 12 日再訊，以待警方調查，包括被告的錄影會面、檢驗被告的手機及電腦。控方又指，警方在被告住所搜出其他刊物，明言可能考慮其他控罪。
辯方有保釋申請。《國安法》指定法官、總裁判官蘇惠德聽畢陳詞後拒絕，被告須還押。

支聯會被指煽動顛覆案 8月初進行第二次審前覆核 早前押後至11月開審
The case against the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chair and vice-chair, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, over alleged “incitement to subversion of state power” was originally scheduled for trial in May this year. The judge earlier said the trial was no longer feasible because another case had overrun, and adjourned it to November. The Judiciary’s website now shows that the case will undergo its second pre-trial review on 4 August this year.
At the first pre-trial review in February this year, counsel for Albert Ho Chun-yan, who had initially intended to plead not guilty, said he intended to change his plea to guilty and was discussing the matter with the prosecution. The judge then gave him 14 days to provide written notice. All three remain in custody. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have been remanded for more than 1,300 days, while Ho Chun-yan, who was granted bail for a period, has also been remanded for more than 1,100 days.
支聯會及其前正副主席李卓人、何俊仁、鄒幸彤被控「煽動顛覆國家政權」案，原定今年 5 月開審，惟法官早前指因另案超時已不可行，押後 11 月開審。司法機構網頁最新顯示，案件將在今年 8 月 4 日處理第二次審前覆核。
據今年 2 月的首次審前覆核，原擬不認罪的何俊仁，由大狀提出有意改為擬認罪，並稱正與控方商討，法官當時限 14 天內作書面通知。3 人仍正還押，李卓人、鄒幸彤已還押逾 1,300 日；一度准保釋的何俊仁亦已還押逾 1,100 日。
