She and two other men were convicted of rioting, resisting arrest and possessing offensive weapons. The case is today (21st) Sentenced in the District Court. The female manager who was convicted of rioting and assaulting the police was sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison. The defendant who was convicted of another riot was also sentenced to 3 years and 8 months. The defendant who resisted arrest and possessed a laser pen was also sentenced to prison. Imprisonment for 1 year.
The judge described the demonstrators violently attacking the control room, and that the incident occurred in important transportation facilities as a factor of increased punishment. Violence against police officers cannot be tolerated and the defendant must be held criminally responsible.
3 defendants: Liu Wanling (47 years old, female garment operation manager), Xie Jialun (44 years old, event planner) and Li Junlin (28 years old, computer technician).
Liu and Xie were accused of participating in the riot at Sha Tin Station of the MTR on September 7, 2019. Liu was also accused of assaulting Inspector Liu Junhao.
Li was charged with resisting Liu Junhao, an inspector who was properly performing his duties, and possessing offensive weapons, namely two laser pointers.
Li Yongqiang was pulled into the control room
The prosecution alleged that the police confronted dozens of demonstrators at the station that night. Li Junlin irradiated the police with strong light. When the police pulled into the control room, he stood on the door frame to resist.
During the period, demonstrators threw umbrellas at the police officers and used fire extinguishers to prevent the police from closing the door.
The footage presented to the court showed that Inspector Liu was hit by a woman with a metal mooncake box outside the control room. The defense did not dispute that the riot occurred at the time, but claimed that Liu Wanling and Xie Jialun were not the demonstrators in the film.
According to the film, the judge compared the person in the film as the defendant
In an earlier ruling, Judge Guo Qi'an believed that although the prosecution had no direct evidence to prove that the woman was Liu, he compared the CCTV at Liu’s residence and concluded that Liu was the demonstrator who threw mooncake boxes at police officers based on her appearance and attire. .
The items found in Liu's home, such as rimless glasses and yellow shrunken bone covers, were similar to the items involved in the footage, and Guo Guan believed that it was impossible to be a coincidence.
Based on Xie's hairstyle and other characteristics, as well as the belongings in his home, he believed that he was a man who stretched out an umbrella to prevent the police from closing the door, and convicted both Liu and Xie of the riot.
The film clearly showed Liu throwing an umbrella and a metal mooncake box, and she was convicted of assaulting the police.
The official said that there is no evidence to prove that it is self-defense against the police
Guan Guo said that Li's injuries did not show that he was subjected to excessive force by the police. He continued to resist the police arrest. In addition to the defense's self-justification, there was no strong evidence to prove that he resisted the police for self-defense.
In addition, as far as he was in possession of two laser pens, Guo Guan said that the incomplete records did not necessarily mean that the evidence chain was broken. Li used a flashlight to irradiate the police officer. Guo Guan concluded that his intention to possess the laser pen could not be innocent or justified. , But used to illuminate their eyes.
Li was convicted of resisting arrest and possessing offensive weapons.
