A Hong Kong court jailed seven policemen for two years each on Friday for beating a handcuffed activist during democracy protests in 2014, a rare case of police brutality in the financial hub that triggered public outrage.

The beating happened on Oct. 15, 2014, at the height of the 79-day protests that paralyzed parts of Hong Kong and posed one of the most serious political challenges to Communist Party leaders in Beijing for decades.

The policemen were filmed dragging the handcuffed protester, Ken Tsang, to a dark corner near the protest site, where he was kicked and punched repeatedly as he lay on the ground.

星島日報 - 獲裁定一項公職人員失當罪成的曾蔭權,在妻兒陪伴下,神情緊張地踏出法院。

【星島日報報道】前行政長官曾蔭權涉貪案,八女一男陪審團經過兩日一夜的商議後,未能就首次引用的《防止賄賂條例》第四條達成大比數裁決,僅裁定曾蔭權一項身為公職人員行為失當罪名成立,即在雄濤廣播提出三項申請而召開的行政會議上,沒有向行會披露或申報,隱瞞個人與雄濤大股東黃楚標正就深圳東海花園大宅租務進行商討,另一項針對提名建築設計師何周禮授勳的行為失當則裁定罪名不成立。主審法官陳慶偉批准曾蔭權繼續准以現金十萬元保釋外出,至下周一下午進行求情。據悉,律政司將會正式向法庭申請就該項行政長官接受利益罪名重審。而身為公職人員行為失當罪名最高的刑罰為入獄七年。

  七十二歲的曾蔭權昨在犯人欄內,聞聽陪審員以八比一裁定其中一項行為失當罪成後,臉紅耳赤,望向公眾席上的妻子及弟妹,其三弟蔭煊不禁落淚,二弟蔭培低頭,曾太鮑笑薇則沒有與丈夫對視,一直望向陳官。當陳官批准曾蔭權繼續擔保外出,曾蔭權步出犯人欄一刻時,其家人及保護要人組G4一擁而上。據知,曾蔭權的親人均對他的定罪感到難過。

  九名陪審員昨於傍晚六時許知會陳官,表示未能以大比數就首項的貪污罪名作出裁決,並就首項行政長官接受利益罪名的定罪條件提出疑問。陳官指定罪須肯定接受利益是與雄濤廣播三項牌照申請有直接因果關係。

  但陪審員經過九十分鐘進一步的討論後,表明仍未達成大比數的裁決,故陳官決定只聽取陪審團就其餘兩項的身為公職人員行為失當罪的裁定,並就收受利益罪名而解散該陪審團。

  本案起源於一二年二月下旬有傳媒報道曾蔭權乘私人飛機及遊艇,曾蔭權事後接受電台及電視台的訪問,「自爆」自己租住深圳東海花園大宅一事,結果再被傳媒揭發曾氏夫婦所租住的深圳大宅的業主,原來是雄濤廣播大股東黃楚標名下的東海集團所持有的。而曾蔭權在任特首期間,於一○年至一二年身為行會主席,卻在雄濤提出AM牌照、數碼廣播牌照以及申請不合乎資格的李國章出任雄濤(後改名為數碼廣播)的主席及董事時,未有向行會披露本身正商議租住黃公司名下持有的深圳大宅。

  控方指曾蔭權於案發時擔任行會主席,參與四十四次的行會會議中,先後共有六十九次向行會申報利益,當中涉及一些細微的事項,控方質疑曾蔭權在政府工作四十五年,加上曾蔭權在電台節目「政好星期天」中承認本身一向公私分明,按規矩辦事,不可能不知道應作出申報。曾蔭權解釋因租屋是於退休後,且當時尚未正式簽署租約。

  但控方亦質疑曾蔭權夫婦為何早在租約簽署前二十個月,支付八十萬人民幣租金給東海集團,認為該份租約是「故意製造出來」,亦都因為在驚慌情況下訂立租約,所以租約上的八十萬人民幣的租金,在阿拉伯數字上卻出現多了一個零。

  至於何周禮在庭上供稱在過去多年來,先後獲得六十多個國際獎項,又為青年協會大樓作設計,得到青協高層王䓪鳴的讚揚,而他從不知道曾蔭權曾建議他授勳。事實上他是經過鄭經翰介紹,而為東海花園進行重建裝修,他需要定時向東海集團匯報,亦從東海處收得三十五萬元為大宅裝修的費用。

  在曾蔭權參選行政長官時大力撐場、與曾蔭權友好非常的東亞銀行主席兼行政總裁李國寶,昨午現身東亞銀行業績記者會。他對於捲入曾蔭權涉貪案中,接受傳媒訪問時表示不滿廉署「拉埋我落水」,自言無辜及「好upset(難過)」。他重申與曾蔭權當然仍是「好朋友」。案件編號:高院刑事四八四——二○一五。

Donald Tsang guilty of misconduct in office, making him first Hong Kong leader convicted in criminal trial

Donald Tsang Yam-kuen became Hong Kong’s first ever chief executive to be convicted in a criminal trial as the High Court on Friday found him guilty of misconduct in public office when he was the city’s leader.

His fall from grace was played out in extraordinary drama last night as the jury, after 20 hours of deliberation, cleared him of another misconduct charge and failed to reach a verdict on a third charge of bribery.

After a six-week trial, Tsang faces a maximum sentence of seven years behind bars for misconduct in public office between 2010 and 2012. Tsang, 72, was granted bail, as the case was adjourned to Monday for mitigation by his defence team.

The nine jurors, by a majority verdict of eight to one, found Tsang had deliberately concealed his negotiations over a three-storey penthouse belonging to a company chaired by businessman Bill Wong Cho-bau. That was when he approved various applications, including a digital audio broadcasting licence, for radio station Wave Media, of which Wong was a shareholder.

Tsang should have declared it to the Executive Council he then chaired, the jury of nine, eight women and one man, concluded. Other applications by the broadcaster that were approved included the surrender of its analogue licence, as well as the appointment of executive councillor Arthur Li Kwok-cheung as its chairman.

But the jurors were unable to reach a verdict on a bribery charge – of the chief executive accepting an advantage – which accused Tsang of accepting the free redecoration of the Shenzhen penthouse. It cost HK$3.35 million, all paid for by Wong’s company.

Prosecutors are expected to file an application for a retrial to pursue the bribery charge.

Thanking and disbanding the jury, the judge Mr Justice Andrew Chan Hing-wai exempted them from serving for the next 10 years.

The jury was unanimous in acquitting Tsang on a separate count of misconduct in public office. He had been accused of putting forward interior designer Barrie Ho Chow-lai for an honour under the city’s award system, without revealing to government bodies Ho was engaged in design work for the penthouse.

Tsang stood grim-faced in the dock as the verdict was delivered. There was no display of emotion by family members who were there to support him, including his siblings, two sons, and wife Selina Tsang Pou Siu-mei, occupying front row seats in the public gallery.

But his son, Thomas Tsang Hing-shun, began to sob as he was reunited with his father later as Tsang was released on bail.

Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, the front runner in the city’s ongoing leadership race, said she respected the court ruling. Lam, who served as development minister in Tsang’s administration, testified during his trial that he was her role model.

Lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting, who was there for the verdict, said: “I think it sends a clear message to the public that no one is above the law.” There was no exception, the former Independent Commission Against Corruption officer said, for the chief executive.

During the trial, the prosecution portrayed Tsang as a two-faced liar who had used his public position to collude with rich businessmen for personal gain, while the defence claimed he was a “straightforward” man who had given 45 years of unbroken service to Hong Kong and had no reason to ruin his “glittering” career by accepting a bribe.

While the defence claimed Tsang paid 800,000 yuan (HK$905,000) as rental payment for the penthouse at market rate, the prosecutors said that was a secret deal for Tsang to purchase the property at an undervalued price or “a licence to occupy” for as long as he wanted.

7警各囚2年 官:受壓非施襲理由

【經濟日報專訊】7名警員涉於2014年佔領期間,於金鐘龍匯道暗角毆打曾健超案,7名被告於周二遭裁定襲擊致身體傷害罪成,第5被告陳少丹另被裁定普通襲擊罪成,7被告昨各被判囚兩年。

法官斥各被告令警隊蒙羞及損害香港國際聲譽,及於佔中期間受壓並非施襲理由。

7被告遭還押數天後,面容明顯較之前接受審訊時憔悴,他們於犯人欄等候判刑時表現略顯緊張,但聞判後表現平靜,個別被告神情哀傷。有被告的親友激動落淚,及衝到犯人欄前道別,更有女支持者聞判後哀嚎痛哭。

官指曾健超亦犯法 已判監

法官昨判刑時引述案例指,市民信任警隊維護法紀及執法,但當他們犯法,則須判處阻嚇刑罰,以維護公眾信心。而各被告的行為不但令警隊蒙羞,更損害香港的國際聲譽,因事件於國際間被廣泛報道。雖然事主曾健超亦有犯法,但他已被判處監禁。

法官又指,雖然案發時正值佔中時期,警員承受很大壓力,但這並不構成他們施襲的理據,且他們於執勤期間將曾健超帶往變電站襲擊,曾健超當時雙手被膠索帶鎖上,沒有防範能力,是惡意被襲擊,萬幸他沒有受到更嚴重傷害,是次襲擊嚴重程度不適合判處緩刑,法官以判囚兩年半為起點,考慮到案發時各被告因佔中備受壓力、他們服務社區及沒有案底,將因本案失去公職及長俸,且於等候審訊期間受壓等,最終減刑至兩年,而第5被告陳少丹(33歲)另因於中區警署內兩次掌摑曾健超,遭裁定一項普通襲擊罪成判囚1個月,但與兩年刑期同期執行。

代表首被告的資深大律師駱應淦,於外籍法官判刑前表示,他於7被告遭裁定罪成數日以來,收到逾千封求情信,但因全數為中文信件,故沒有足夠時間將信件繙譯成英文後呈堂。據悉,撰寫求情信者包括民建聯屯門區議會主席梁健文。

准內部籌款 支援7警及家人

駱又表示會考慮上訴,及會與其他被告的律師代表商討,他個人又認為兩年刑期並非明顯過重,及被告曾向他透露希望申請保釋。

警務處處長盧偉聰對7被告判囚感到心情沉重及複雜,他強調要相信法律,指香港是法治社會,警員會繼續謹守崗位,維護香港治安。因為這是一直以來香港警隊的使命,亦是警員加入警隊時對社會的承諾。他已批准內部籌款,支援7名警員及其家人。

被追問7警會否被革職及警隊會否就事件道歉,盧則沒有回應。據悉7被告中有3人參加強積金制度,並無退休金,即使最終被革職仍可獲強積金供款;而另外4人則屬舊制,如上訴失敗則很大機會被革職或勒令退休,失去長俸,但後者仍可享退休金。

法官:杜大衞;案件編號:DCCC980/15。

Impressed with HK. Justice is not only fair but swift. Those Policemen can sit in prison and contemplate what it feels like assaulting someone who is handcuffed and defenceless and that person was fighting to keep HK's much earned freedom intact.

Absolutely agreed.

Can't imagine such a similar scenario happening in SG.

In singapore, old man decides on rule of law. He protected the former Head of Security Branch from prosecution and that is not the only case. Look at Tin Pei Ling and Goh Chok Tong over the elections.

Absolutely agreed.
