Police-civilian clashes occurred on National Day in Tsuen Wan the year before last. The fifth student "Jianzi" Zeng Zhijian was shot on the same day. Four men and women were convicted of participating in riots and arson before the shooting. They were sentenced in the District Court this afternoon (5th). Imprisonment for 4 years and 3 months to 4 years and 8 months.
The case originally involved 5 defendants: Chen Heng (39 years old, cleaner), Chen Jinguo (19 years old, student), Li Zhenwen (25 years old, programmer), Feng Qinghua (21 years old, student), and Guo Xiaoqin (22 years old, student) ).
Five people were charged with participating in a riot in the vicinity of Hoi Pa Street in Tsuen Wan on October 1, 2019. The first defendant was also charged with arson. Feng had not attended the hearing earlier and the court had issued an arrest warrant to him, so only four people were tried. Except Feng, the remaining 4 people were convicted of all charges earlier.
Someone threw petrol bombs at the police that day
The facts of the case allege that the demonstrators built a "line of defense" at the junction of Haiba Street and Kai Chi Street on the same day. During this period, some people threw petrol bombs at the police and set fire on the pavement. The first defendant placed a banner that looked like a banner with a pattern. 'S objects were thrown into the fire, and the 4 defendants were all arrested during the police operation.
No police officer was injured in the incident
The defense today pleaded that the first defendant’s ex-wife suffers from schizophrenia. Even though he and his ex-wife are divorced, he still shoulders the responsibility of caring for his ex-wife and mother-in-law. I hope that the court will consider his situation and that no police officer was injured in the incident. Light sentence.
The defense also mentioned that the other three student defendants all have good character, and the fifth defendant has served the society as a volunteer for a longer time.
