HK Secretary of Justice Revokes Private Case Against Policeman who Shot Student with Live Round
Hong Kong Secretary of Justice Teresa Cheng intervened on Aug 17, 2020 to revoke a private prosecution on the police officer who shot a 21-year-old student with live rounds in Sai Wan Ho, on Nov 11, 2019.
The private prosecution was filed by Legislative councillor Ted Hui in January 2020, charging the officer with shooting with intent imparting grievous bodily harm on a civilian. The case had already been approven by a district judge.
In a statement released on 18 Aug 2020, Hui said he was furious at the Cheng's decision, and is considering to apply for judicial review.
The police officer was scheduled to appear in court on 31 Aug 2020, but the Secretary of Justice applied to have the revocation processed before 28 Aug. Hui blasted Cheng's decision as a barbaric interference with the judicial process, and questioned if her intentions were to endorse police violence and defend the force, regardless of their actions.
Hui further remarked that this decision severely impedes the citizen's right under Common Law to file private prosecutions, and shows the world that the Hong Kong government has "replaced the Rule of Law with the Rule of Man".
The police officer had also applied for judicial review last week demanding the case be dismissed, and further alleging that the process of private prosecution violates the Basic Law.
