A line of fire was set ablaze on the scene

The prosecution stated that the four defendants took part in the riot at the junction of Hoi Pa Street and Tai Ho Street in Tsuen Wan. About 200 demonstrators gathered on Hoi Pa Street. They blocked the road with water-street signs and so on. After they built an "umbrella formation" Threw bricks and petrol bombs at the police.

The police also fired tear gas and responded with rubber bullets.

During this period, some demonstrators poured flammable liquid on the pavement and lit it into a line of fire. The first defendant threw a banner into the fire.

All four defendants were arrested at the scene of the crime.

The official described it as a small war of resistance

In his ruling, the judge Lian Jinhong stated that the police and the demonstrators were confronted with each other and saw back and forth for at least 20 minutes, describing it as a "small war of resistance." Part of the plot was helpless to understand, and the incident had to be thoroughly examined.

He pointed out that this case is not an individual incident, but a common will to disrupt public order and destroy social peace.

The video clip presented to the court shows a person holding a blue shrunken umbrella putting a banner into the fire. Although his identity cannot be identified, the trainer carefully inspected it and believed that the person and the first defendant Chen Heng were the same person. Chen Heng 'S dress is unique, and his umbrella is different from the other blue umbrella in the film.

He pointed out that Chen fled to Tsuen Hing Trail and was arrested by the police at the same time as the footage.

The training officer convicted Chen riots and arson.

The presence of the defendants was not accidental

As for the other three defendants convicted of the riot, the trainer said that they were dressed in black like demonstrators, just like uniforms.

Although there is no evidence that they have criminal acts and intentions, the confrontation between the police and the demonstrators lasted as long as 20 minutes. It is unlikely that their defendants arrived accidentally, and there is no legal reason to be in the place, so they should leave as soon as possible.

The trainers believe that their staying in the "eye of the wind" in the conflict is to fuel the arrogance of the demonstrators, assist and participate in the riots.

After being arrested, he shouted slogans with confidence

The training officer said that the second defendant Chen Jinguo, who was in front of the demonstrators, chanted to the media twice "Recover Hong Kong" after being arrested, which was a popular slogan at the time.

He said his name and a set of numbers, showing that he was justified and distrusted the police.

The trainer believed that the police warned that the assembly at the scene was illegal. He could not be purely curious. He chose to stay on the side of the demonstrators to fight.
