Eastern District Court Magistrate He Chun-yiu earlier tried the case of Eastern District Councillor Qiu Xuxin’s involvement in the assault on the police. He criticized the two police officers for "speaking loudly". The statement was illogical. Afterwards, the DAB Legislative Council Member Ge Peifan wrote to the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal. Ma Daoli complained.

It is reported that He Junyao will be transferred from the Magistrates' Court and transferred to the High Court to handle the scheduling of criminal cases in the Court of First Instance. The title is "Criminal Case Schedule Judge", which means that there is no need to hear criminal cases in the short term.

Civic Party Legislative Council Member Tan Wenhao responded to the incident today (7th), criticizing the "red media" and Ge Peifan for continuously attacking the judicial system in the past month, putting pressure on the judicial institution, and believing that the transfer of He Guan to reflect the personal changes in the judicial system has been caused by Influenced by pressure, which in turn affects the judicial independence of Hong Kong.

In response, Zhou Haoding pointed out that Tan Wenhao's allegations were untrue, and emphasized that he and Ge Peifan did not interfere with the judiciary.

Zhou Haoding stated that Judge Guo Weijian once stated in his judgment that the defendant was "noble," and he could no longer handle anti-amendment cases. He believed that the judiciary should handle He Guan's remarks with the same standard, and there should be no double standards.

Tan Wenhao criticized the incident affecting judicial independence

Tan Wenhao believes that the "red media" and some established lawmakers have continuously put pressure on the judiciary in the past month, including writing to Ma Daoli, initiating one person, one letter, and naming and criticizing five judges as "yellow officials."

Ge Peifan and Zhou Haoding recently quoted an "anonymous letter" with unverified content in a YouTube clip, referring to the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal, Ma Daoli, who convened all Hong Kong magistrates to attend a legal briefing session on July 3. The High Court Judge Huang Chonghou attended the meeting. It means that if the trial involves an anti-amendment demonstration, unless there is very reliable evidence, the suspected interests can be attributed to the defendant principle to "exempt him from crime."

The judiciary later responded that the content of the statement made by the alleged speaker in the anonymous letter was not true.

Tan Wenhao reiterated the above incident, criticizing the two for only publishing anonymous letters without Fact Check.

He claimed that after the judiciary clarified that the content of the anonymous letter was false, the government and the establishment did not condemn anyone to discredit and spread rumors. He asked, "Does the government support the judiciary and condemn man-made rumors?" Tan Wenhao said that he would write the letter. The Law Society of Hong Kong complained that Zhou Haoding violated the professional ethics of lawyers.

Regarding the transfer of Ho Junyao, Tan Wenhao believes that the personal changes in the judicial system have been affected by pressure, which in turn affects Hong Kong's judicial independence.

Zhou Haoding responded that Tan Wenhao's allegations were untrue.

Criticizing Tan Wenhao's Accusation of Untrue Zhou Haoding: No Interference with Judiciary

In response, Zhou Haoding pointed out that Tan Wenhao's allegations were untrue, and emphasized that he and Ge Peifan did not interfere with the judicial organs, but merely "reminded" the judicial organs to pay attention to whether the official used legal principles and excessive words in the judgment.

Zhou Haoding believes that Guan He's criticism of police officers for "boasting big talk" is a very serious accusation and an insult to the police.

He also pointed out that Judge Guo Weijian was unable to deal with cases related to the anti-regulation movement because of his "noble sentiment" in his judgment. He believed that the judiciary should deal with the remarks of the official with the same standard, and there should be no double standards.

He emphasized that it was only out of public interest and did not interfere with judicial independence.

Regarding Tan Wenhao's claim that he would file a complaint with the Law Society, Zhou Haoding criticized Tan Wenhao for using his lawyer to suppress him.
