Tsai Yu-ling, the editor and director of Radio Television Hong Kong’s "Cong Chong Ji", was working on the 7.21 Yuen Long attack last year. She tracked down the license plate of a vehicle suspected to be related to the incident. She was accused of making false statements on the application form. She was convicted earlier in the Magistrates’ Court. Was fined 6,000 yuan.
Cai Jin revealed through her Facebook page that she had appointed a lawyer to appeal the "7.21 search case".
Tsai Jin wrote in his Facebook post: "I really have no reason to be optimistic. With the drastically changing political climate and the rapidly shrinking space for speech, more and more voices have disappeared. Hong Kong people seem to have become accustomed to not speaking or speaking. The so-called "fake news" legislation is coming in fiercely. On World Press Freedom Day, the industry's rating of press freedom fell to a new low, and Radio Hong Kong began to clean up historical records and remove honest and competent reporters.
"Choosing to embark on this path is not a hasty decision. Whether I win or lose, the case may eventually be moved to the Court of Final Appeal. I have a certain degree of psychological preparation. As a media person, I always report facts and tell the truth. Zhiye, when my city collapsed, I expected myself to "live in the truth", to live sincerely, kindly, and with integrity.

Cai Yuling (37 years old) was charged with two counts of “knowingly making false statements on essentials”, alleging that she knowingly obtained the vehicle registration certificate of the private car LV755 on May 17 and June 10, 2020. Making a false statement means that she applied for a certificate for the following purposes related to traffic and transport matters, to conduct legal procedures and other traffic and transport matters other than the sale of vehicles, in violation of Section 111(3 of the Road Traffic Ordinance) ) Article (a).
She was convicted of both crimes after trial.
Magistrate Xu Qiwei said in the ruling that if anyone pays $45 for any purpose, they can freely obtain the sensitive personal data of the car owner, and the department has no right to refuse, which will have a serious impact on the privacy of the registered car owner.
Xu Guan also pointed out that when Cai applied for the license plate information, he claimed that it would be used for traffic-related matters, but the purpose was actually to interview the car owner. This was not a traffic-related matter, so he ruled that Cai made a false statement.
