Mocking remarks sprayed on communal wall targeting magistrate acquitting pro-democracy protesters
A disparaging remark, directing at former magistrate Stanley Ho Chun-yiu, was sighted on the walls of two property buildings on Broadcast Drive in Hong Kong that read, “Police arrests, Magistrate releases”.
Magistrate Ho has been a target of CCP loyalists after he acquitted some pro-democracy protesters and scorned evidence given by some police officers.
The Police Public Relations Bureau confirmed that a report was received at late evening of October 20, informing the police that 4 men riding on a white private car were seen scratching the remark on the wall. The case is tentatively listed as criminal damage with no arrests made.

The High Court issues order sought by Secretary of Justice to protect pro-government judicial officials
Following a similar injunction protecting police officer, the High Court granted an interim injunction to restrain members of the public from unlawfully doxxing judicial officers as well as their families. The order will remain in effect until November 13. Those in breach may subject to investigation for civil contempt of court, which could result in imprisonment.
Lawyers have broadly welcomed the injunction, Civic Party member and lawmaker of legal sector, Dennis Kwok Wing-hang, however, expressed concern over its scope. Kwok worried that citizens, when disapproving a ruling or criticizing a judge might unintentionally break the law.
