In July the previous year, a police-civilian clash broke out in the New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. A funeral practitioner was charged with rioting when he was involved in throwing water bottles at a police officer. He was convicted today (22nd).

Judge Lian Jinhong sentenced that the social incidents in 2019 later escalated. He pointed out that from the historical trajectory, violence only derives violence. This case occurred while the incident was still in its infancy, and the court would not punish the defendant for future developments. However, the defendant’s behavior that day directly challenged the law was also selfish and arrogant. It was considered that the defendant had no premeditated and no one was injured in the incident. However, the court must send a message, and the defendant must not think that too many people can commit the crime. The defendant was sentenced to 28 months’ imprisonment. .


Defendant Lai Junle (29 years old, funeral practitioner) participated in the riot in Shatin New Town Plaza on July 14, 2019.

The prosecution alleges that on that day, demonstrators scolded the police officers in the mall, threw objects and attacked the police officers, and the defendant was thrown water bottles at the police officers.

Judge Lian Jinhong pointed out that after comparison, he believed that the man in gray who threw the water bottle in the footage involved was the defendant, so he ruled that he was guilty of the riot.

Sentences for training officers refer to the social incidents that occurred in the second half of 2019, which evolved from peaceful demonstrations to violence, and later escalated into "asymmetric civil wars." At that time, citizens were dissatisfied with social injustices, policies, and some irresponsible politicians. The wrestling among scholars, scholars, and international forces and their support caused a big storm.

Will not punish the defendant for development after the incident

The trainer also mentioned that this case occurred at the beginning of the incident. At the beginning of the incident, no destructive weapon had appeared. From the historical trajectory, violence will only derive violence and then civil war. However, the court will not discuss the incident in this case. Later development punishes the defendant.

The defendant's actions directly challenge the law

The trainer believes that the defendant did not have a detailed plan to participate in the riot. He passed by occasionally and was infected by the atmosphere and social environment. He also thought that a large number of people could reduce the risk of arrest and attacked the police.

However, the defendant’s behavior was a direct challenge to the law, disregarding the interests of the public, reprimanding him for being selfish and arrogant, and believing that if the water bottle injures a police officer, it can cause extremely serious consequences.

The trainer also pointed out that the court should send a message, and don't think that if you have not committed an offence, the court will deal with it leniently, and don't think that if there are too many people, you can commit an offence.
