Being as a person facing court right now, I would like to warn you that even Spark Alliance HK is infiltrated

(1 Jun) Well, that is:
My younger brother was arrested in the scene last Sep; we sought legal assistance from lawyers from “Civil Human Rights Front” (CHRF) and “Spark Alliance HK” (612). Soon later, my family members referred another one to us, thus we changed the legal representative; who is a solicitor named Lee xx. Lee later claimed himself joined CHRF and 612. I am not going to publicize the full name of Lee here as my family members are still having good relationship with Lee. However, I will report Lee’s behavior to CHRF and 612.

Lee found a barrister to act on us, Kwong Man Cheong. All along the period, Kwong told us in all meetings that “our case would be lose, suggested pleading guilty to relieve the sentence.” Though I told Kwong that I won’t plead guilty to an offence in political nature; and I’d prepared for the jail. Kwong replied me throughout the period that: “I respect your choice. If you would like to have a trial, I would represent you to fight for it.”

It’s fine, I’m going to have the plea day tomorrow.

Today in the afternoon, I received a call from Lee who said: “Kwong (Gilbert Kwong) opined your case would not win, and you did not agree to plead guilty, Kwong now decided not to represent you. So that I have already helped you to find another barrister, will send his name card to you soon.”

When I read the name card, the barrister is Albert Luk’s Chambers, the fu*king Albert Luk!

I throwback, they (Lee and Kwong) in fact want to persuade me admitting the charges at the very beginning; and declined us right before the plea day.
Although Lee said Kwong could represent us the last time (tomorrow), we rejected. To be frank, How do I know if Kwong will not ask the court to remand me?! LOL.

This is a remind to everyone, infiltration is really serious, regardless of LIHKG, undercovers in the scene and teams; and even infiltrated into the process of seeking a legal representative.

Even they are not undercovers and infiltration, those heartless legal advisers, who have never thought to help the activists (us), sucked hard-earned money donated by the public to 612.

Last but not least, I would like to particularly thank for the legal advisors from CHRF; they had not abandoned us due to our initial rejection to their lawyers. They even worked overtimes at midnight to understand our situation before my plea day, and represent us on the next day.

Million thanks to you all, though I might be in jail at the end.

I will never forget your all’s sincere assistance.
