Court Rules Former lawmaker Guilty of "'Assaulting two police officers with a loudspeaker"
During a civilian-police standoff in Yau Ma Tei on July 8, 2019, Au Nok-hin, a former lawmaker, was arrested for "assaulting the police" by speaking via the megaphone.
Au had pleaded not guilty at Kowloon City Court.
In delivering the verdict on April 6, magistrate Leung Ka-kie, however, said one officer's hearing was damaged. The magistrate also claimed that the other police officer was "afraid" due to Au's facial expressions and force, Au had "struck the police,shield with the loudhailer three times".
[Editor's note: Despite reports of police brutality, most police are unaffected by their misconduct. For instance, the police who rammed his motorcycle into the protesters is still serving the force.]

Prosecutor with Outspoken Pro-Beijing Stance Allegedly Imposes Bias Against Pro-democracy Faction
Vivien Chan, the prosecutor who worked on the case pro-democracy lawmaker Au Nok-hin, was found disseminating strong worded criticisms on Facebook. She allegedly attacked local judges for 'siding' with protesters whom she called “yellow corpse”, “cockroaches” and “bastards”.
From the pro-Beijing news reports and videos she shares, her political stance concerning the anti-extradition law protests was clear. Chan expressed gratitude to the Police in suppressing pro-democracy protests, “rioters are morons disrupting social order even during epidemic outbreak. Arrest them all!”
In a post issued on Oct 16, 2019, Chan said, “Rioters! Bar Association and judges who supported them are all scumbags!” After a 22-year-old man charged with assaulting police was granted bail, Chan wrote “The bias and unfairness of numerous judges have already severely damaged Hong Kong’s rule of law, safety and freedom.”
In another Facebook post in October 2019, Chan wrote: “Talking about tolerating violence, Hong Kong judges are second to none. Thank you judges for granting the chaos in Hong Kong today".
Sham Shui Po Pro-democracy District councillor Ramon Yuen Hoi-man said Chan’s strong political stance made her unfit to be a prosecuting counsel. “The perception seems that Chan just wanted to prosecute Au at all costs.”
He also alleged that Chan had violated the Bar’s Code of Conduct with her remarks against judges, which is “likely to bring the profession of barrister into disrepute or diminish public confidence in the profession of barrister”.
The Bar Association gave no further moments but revealed that it was considering the complaints: “According to the Association’s policy, no comment will be made when the investigation is ongoing.”
Vivien Chan declined interview requests and refused to respond to further inquiries.

“Political Persecution” not "Political Prosecution" - a message from an arrested pro-democracy legislator
[Editor's note: This is a post written by Au Nok-hin, a former legislator, who was among those pro-democracy politians arrested by the Hong Kong Police on April 18. Au was convicted earlier for "assaulting the police" with a loudspeaker.]
"I am not as strong as everyone thinks. This is the third time they have arrested me - assaulting police, contravening powers and privileges of legislative council and this time for illegal assembly. I feel numb watching these never-ending procedures in police station - a slow and interminable torment.
I really don't know why but a large group of police officers showed up again at my door and ask to search my phone. When is the next time? (Here is a peculiar side story during the arrest - My lawyer wanted to see me privately in my apartment, and the police were concerned that I might jump out of the window.)
My apologies as I can’t say anything more positive. I heard that Margaret Ng brought with her a book to read, China's National Security: Endangering Hong Kong's Rule of Law? I only took the book I have read for many times, The Political Effects of an Election System, co-authored by Ma Ngok and Choi Tse-keung.
Recently, I have been working hard on a piece of writing … I have to deliver, I have to deliver, I have to deliver. Frankly, my heart is heavy for sure but what must be done will be done, nothing will dampen my spirit and drive to deliver. This is an expectation and a mission.
Let’s share our weal and woe together. Let us stand strong.
(My phone has been confiscated, so I am relying on this screenshot to let you know that I am safe.)"

Pro-democracy activist Au Nok-hin sentenced to 140 hours of community service: Hongkongers should "speak the truth" in light of "difficult times for the rule of law"
Au Nok-hin, pro-democracy activist and ousted lawmaker, was sentenced to 140 hours of community service for "assaulting police" with a loudhailer during a protest on July 8, 2019. Au was accused of hurting an officer's ears by speaking too loudly through the device. It was previously told in the court that the look on Au's face at the time led the officer to fear a violent attack.
Speaking before the sentence on April 24, Au said he believes he is not guilty. He urged the people of Hong Kong to "speak the truth" in light of "difficult times for the rule of law".
Au was also one of 15 prominent pro-democracy figures arrested last Saturday and charged with organising and joining unauthorised anti-government protests last year. The 15, who also include barristers Martin Lee and Margaret Ng, and Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai, are due in court in May 2020.

After the session on April 24, Chan requested the court to put on record the harassment she and her family had received over the internet and her to be heard over for two minutes.
Magistrate Leung Ka-kie denied her request, stating that the case had been adjourned, and that the court was not certain as to the request's irrelevancy to the current case. Chan, however, was agitated and yelled, "it's my right to be heard."

Pro-democracy Singer Anthony Wong in Face of Political Suppression: "Sing on and Hang on, Hongkongers"
The authotities pressed charges on Hong Kong Cantopop star Anthony Wong and former pro-democracy lawmaker Au Nok-hin for "corruption" in connection to the Legislative Council by-election in 2018.
The ICAC claimed that Wong sang two songs at a rally organised by Au, who later won the election.
In court on August 5, 2021, The defence lawyer emphasized that Wong was not paid for the performance.
The prosecution then changed their tone and agreed to offer no evidence against Wong and Au. In the end, the court decided that the two would be bound over for 18 months in the sum of HK$2,000. Wong's charges would then be dismissed.
As a Cantopop icon and celebrity, Wong has been outspoken for his pro-democracy stance; while Au is already in prison for charges in related to the pro-democracy movement. Au is also one of the 47 democrats accused of violating the #NationalSecurityLaw for participating in the pro-democracy camp primaries in 2020.
Outside the court, Anthony Wong responded to media inquiry with a Cantopop song called "Ask me" written by legendary lyricist James Wong in 1976. In the part sung by Wong, the lyrics goes: "No matter how right or how wrong I am, I will face the outcome wholeheartedly; facing the world, whatever it comes, I am being myself."
Wong then told Hongkongers to "sing on and hang on".
