Teachers and other five people were suspected of being involved in the retrial of the riot in Jordan and Yau Ma Tei on the night of the PolyU conflict in November of the previous year. Five defendants were ruled to prove that they were established. After seeing many people gathered, he walked forward to watch the excitement. During the period, some people handed them helmets, pig mouths, and blindfolds. He carried them to protect himself. Later, when he saw people running, he also followed the crowd, but fell to the ground. He was beaten and kicked with a truncheon, and he denied that he walked forward to support or encourage the demonstrators.
5 defendants: Guo Junming (23 years old, chef), Luo Weidong (31 years old, unemployed), Yao Junhui (34 years old, teacher), Ding Peiji (26 years old) and Cai Runting (24 years old, waiter).
The charge alleges that they participated in the riot on Nathan Road between Gascoigne Road and Jordan Road in Jordan on November 18, 2019.
The first defendant, Guo Junming, was also involved in possession of 37 plastic and electrical leads with intent to use them for illegal purposes.
The third defendant, Yao Junhui, was also involved in possession of a pair of scissors and 7 packs of rubber straps for illegal use.
I want to see the excitement before leaving
The first defendant Guo Junming defended himself after the judge ruled that the evidence was established.
He said that after having dinner with a friend in a restaurant near Tsim Sha Tsui that night, he learned that the MTR station would be closed and the bus would be diverted. Therefore, he had to walk to Mong Kok with his friend and take a minibus back to the apartment in Tuen Mun.
When the two walked to the junction of Shanghai Street and Beihai Street, they found many people gathered. He wanted to watch the excitement before leaving, but his friend "don't want to go ahead," so he stayed there and waited for him.
He denied that he was supporting or encouraging the protesters at the time.
Feeling beaten and kicked with a truncheon
Later, someone suddenly handed him a helmet, pig mouth, and eye mask. Although he was shocked, he thought "I have no reason to wear it," and thought he could protect himself, so he accepted the items.
Soon after putting on the equipment, the people around him began to run away, so he also started to run away, but was hit by an impulse and fell to the ground, and then felt beaten and kicked by a truncheon.
