Attending Citizens Cheer at #47Democrats under Trial and Jeer Disorganized Prosecution
In Hong Kong on November 29, 2021, the case of the 47 democrats, who were charged by the #NationalSecurityLaw for participating in a primary election in 2020, was trialed in court.
Although the trial was scheduled at 2 pm, the authorities did not bring the defendants currently detained to the court on time. Their families and friends, as well as the citizens attending the trial became agitated after more than an hour of waiting.
"Can the judiciary explain the cause of the one hour delay?" citizens in the court complained, "They [the authorities] do not have respect for the attendees at all!"
The court secretary claimed that there was a problem with the communication system.
In the extended court, the speaker was not turned on until 2:46 pm. After that, the court kept repeating the court regulations.
The defendants were sent to the court after the magistrate #LawTakChuenPeter arrived at the courtroom at 3:30pm.
When entering the court room, some defendants raised their hands to thank the citizens who sent a round of encouraging words.
An hour later, the trial did not have much progress. The chief prosecutor #LawTinWah suggested to split the defendants for separate trial. He proposed one of the groups to be on trial again on Feb 8, 2022. At this time, a male voice was heard saying, "get lost", followed by a round of laughter.
The magistrate did not accept the chief prosecutor's suggestion.
One of the barristers representing the defence sternly criticised the prosecution for procrastination, causing the lack of time for lawyers to give legal advice to the defendants. The comment was received with a round of applause. Nevertheless, the prosecution denied.
At around 5pm, another barrister in the defence reiterated that the legal team "eagerly" wished to receive the required documents from the prosecution in the past 8 months, but it did not happen. Another round of applause followed.
Finally, the magistrate called an end to the day's trial after 7 pm. Citizens in court encouraged the defendants and each other, "Keep it up, Hongkongers!" Some sent Birthday wishes to the detained pro-democracy figures.
