Acting Chief Magistrate Criticized Police for Delaying Document Submission
A 24-year-old man was charged with assaulting a police officer inside a police car outside Wong Tai Sin Police Station on August 4. As always, the defence complained that the prosecution had not provided documents, and the two sides heatedly opposed each other in court on this matter. Acting Chief Magistrate Ivy CHUI Yee Mei couldn't hide her anger, and once ordered the police officer in charge to stand up and proceeded to reprimand him, "I couldn’t understand why the police always submit documents at the last minute.”

Wild game banned in Wuhan province
( Editor’s notes: “Wet market” is a colloquial term for farmer’s market that sells vegetables, seafood, and livestock. In China, the stalls can be very densely packed)
After a pneumonia outbreak, the sale of wild game was banned in all cities in Wuhan province. Many stalls in the wet markets of Wuhan are being investigated and forced to close. In the countryside, many farmer’s markets are still illegally sell wild chickens, ducks, and other wild animals. Vendors say the investigations have been tightened these 2 days. Wild rabbits can be killed on the spot but the rest must be taken away after killed and be frozen.
Qiyimen Fresh Market is a wet market near the train station in Hankou, Wuhan. Reporters found that the market has been cleaned before, however, the hygiene of the market is still undesirable. In the outdoor stalls at the end of the car park, many stallholders still killed fish on the spot and discarded parts on the floor.
The reporter also found that many stalls were empty. Locals said that wild animals were previously sold in this market but those stalls were closed because of the tightening inspections by the government lately. Nevertheless, rabbits and bullfrogs are still being found in the market. Stallholders kill rabbits on the spot and hang them up for sale. At the far side of the market, reporters found wild ducks and chickens were traded secretly as it was illegal. The ducks on sale were confirmed as wild-caught and the price was 200 RMB (approx. 30 USD) per duck after they stared at the reporter for a while. The reporter showed interest and proposed to select one. The other said, “It is not possible to show you the product but the wild game is real. All buyers here are regular customers.”
That man was stallholder for wild game in the lane as verified by stallholders nearby. They also mentioned that shop was forced to close because the state started to regulate the wild game market recently. The reporter asked that man what type of wild game he sold. He mentioned wild game can be found on request. After negotiation, the reporter bought a frozen wild-caught chicken at 65 RMB (approx. 9 USD). A customer in the market said, “medicine is usually used for these wild game caught by ordinary people. That’s why all wild game is dead when they are on sale. Moreover, handling wild-caught chicken is different from farmed chicken. The feather and skin of these wild-caught chickens are peeled off together.”
