Mother to seek Legal Assistance before Pressing Charge Against Hong Kong Police for Injuring her Children

For no apparent reason, several male police officers wrangled the young girl and forcefully pinned her to ground between their legs. The police also ticketed the girl for violating gathering ban.

The Police Force released a statement later on, claiming that the girl looked “suspicious” and officers on the scene only applied "minimum force" to subdue her.

The girl, traumatized, was wounded on her arm and knee. She pleaded for her mother to bring her home but her mother advised her to first seek medical assistance.

The mother of the 12-year-old girl and the 20-year-old boy, Mrs Ho, told reporters that her son and daughter were intended to shop for stationary in Mong Kok. As police cordon lines were set up in Yau Ma Tei, blocking their way to the stationary shop, they then tried to meet up at Sai Yeung Choi South Street.

When Mrs Ho arrived at Sai Yeung Choi South Street, she was shocked to find her daughter sitting inside the police cordon line. When asked, police said her daughter and son "breached the gathering ban" and were therefore ticketed.

Mrs Ho condemned the police for their unjust enforcement and for their groundless accusation on the brother and the sister for violating the gathering ban. A passerby said he saw 4 policemen pushing and dragging the young girl. He told the police to stop. Then, the police accused him of "walking with" the brother and sister and hence "exceeding" the number of people allowed under the anti-pandemic ordinance.

Mrs Ho said she will seek assistance from the District Councillor and lawyers before pressing a charge against the police. She stressed that she will not pay an unreasonable fine ticket.

#Judiciary Annual Report 2020 reveals 91% of complaint cases concerning 1 pro-establishment judge's biased verdict

On January 11, 2021, the Hong Kong Judiciary released its Annual Report 2020, in which it acknowledged a significant increase in the number of complaints against judges and members of the judiciary during the year of report.

As at 30 September 2020, there were 4,700 complaints, the highest number since 2002. The upsurge stemmed mainly from one case (4,286 complaints) which accounted for 91% of all complaints.

The annual report stated that the complaint case involved a District Court judge and his verdict on one pro-ELAB protest incident was considered biased. It also stated that the Chief Justice has reviewed this case and conceded that the District Judge's comment could have compromised the public's confidence in the independence and impartiality of the judiciary. The concerning judge was then being excluded from handling cases involving a similar political context.

It was suspected that the mentioned case concerned #KwokWaiKin’s verdict on Taipo #LennonWall attack last April. In Kowk’s verdict, he described the defendant was himself a "victim" of the anti-government unrest and he praised him for turning himself in as “showing noble qualities”.
