【47人案整合4】質疑欺騙選民、禁止發表政見——整理三位法官的審訊介入 https://bit.ly/3KflOUK 初選案不設陪審團，由三名指定法官審理。歷時118日的審訊，除了由控辯雙方提問，三位法官加入發問的情況也很常見。庭上不少令人較深刻的回答，像是戴耀廷不民主、趙家賢向法官認錯、彭卓棋「扮黃」、公民黨黨團不民主等，均是源自法官的發問。 《獨媒》回顧審訊中的法官提問，當中既有就被告對否決預算案的立場、協調會議共識等案情關鍵作澄清追問，亦有在不少被告主問時，不止一次質疑他們欺騙和誤導選民、說法不…
"Unfairly conducted without a jury, the trial of the 47 activists undermines human rights. The active involvement of judges in questioning witnesses raises concerns about the fairness of the proceedings. The absence of a jury denies the defendants the right to a trial by their peers. This highlights the importance of an impartial and independent judicial system to safeguard human rights. The trial's lack of transparency and the judges' extensive intervention warrant scrutiny. The right to a fair trial must be upheld to ensure justice and protect fundamental freedoms. #47ActivistsTrial #UnfairTrial #NoJury #HumanRights #JudicialSystem"
香港法院駁回抗訴申請
香港法院近日駁回伍子堅（Woo Tsz-kin）對其2019年抗議活動中試圖奪取警察槍械的六年監禁上訴。法官指出，伍未作證，且缺乏任何支持其論點的證據。
伍與前同學周柏君（Chow Pak-kwan）同時被捕，周在抗議中被警察射傷，但法庭對此事並未提供任何證據。法官仍判決伍有罪，認為其行為構成嚴重罪行，這引發了對司法公正的質疑。
法官拒絕了伍的減刑請求，並表示將稍後發出書面判決。
Hong Kong Court Rejects Appeal
A Hong Kong court has rejected Woo Tsz-kin's appeal against his six-year prison sentence for attempting to seize a police officer's gun during a protest in 2019. The judges noted that Woo did not testify and there was no evidence supporting his arguments.
Woo was arrested alongside Chow Pak-kwan, who was shot by police during the protests, yet the court provided no evidence regarding this incident. Despite this, the judge convicted Woo, raising concerns about judicial fairness.
The judges denied Woo's request for a reduced sentence and will issue a written judgment later.
