More than one hundred pro-democratic district council election candidates held an election gathering in Victoria Park in November last year. During the gathering, a large number of riot police came to the venue to disperse. Three candidates were still in the district council election at the time: Wen Nienzhi, "Uncle Airport" Chen Zhenzhe and Zheng Zhongheng was arrested by the police and later charged with crimes such as obstructing office work and possessing radio without a license.

The case was brought before the Eastern District Court again today (14th). All three of them denied the crime of obstructing office work, while Wen pleaded guilty of possessing radio without a license.

The magistrate adjourned the case until October 27 for a pre-trial review. The sentence for the crime of possession of radio will be postponed until the trial for the crime of obstruction. In addition, the defense requested more individual disclosures. Information on the identity of police officers was also rejected.

The three defendants are all serving district councillors

Three defendants: Wen Nianzhi (29 years old), Chen Zhenzhe (47 years old) and Cheng Zhongheng (30 years old), all of whom are current district councillors, are charged with one count of obstructing police officers in the proper execution of their duties. On November 2nd, the Senior Inspector No. 18506, Tactical Unit Echo 3, Response Squad B1 and other police officers deliberately obstructed outside Gate 8 of Victoria Park; the three of them denied the charges today.

Wen pleaded guilty to a crime of possessing a radio communication device without a license, alleging the possession of a walkie-talkie in the same place and day.

The officer accused the plan and listed the police information

The defense once requested the prosecution to disclose the information on the "other police officers" on the charge book so that the defense could prepare a defense. However, the prosecution claimed that the case was based on the above-mentioned team as a whole and did not individually accuse the defendant against any of the police officers; the magistrate also pointed out Although the prosecution did not list all the police officers' numbers in the details of the charges, the summary of the case submitted by the prosecution clearly listed the relevant police officers' identity and other information, which should be sufficient for the defense, and the defense was finally rejected Application.
