【47人案整合4】質疑欺騙選民、禁止發表政見——整理三位法官的審訊介入 https://bit.ly/3KflOUK 初選案不設陪審團，由三名指定法官審理。歷時118日的審訊，除了由控辯雙方提問，三位法官加入發問的情況也很常見。庭上不少令人較深刻的回答，像是戴耀廷不民主、趙家賢向法官認錯、彭卓棋「扮黃」、公民黨黨團不民主等，均是源自法官的發問。 《獨媒》回顧審訊中的法官提問，當中既有就被告對否決預算案的立場、協調會議共識等案情關鍵作澄清追問，亦有在不少被告主問時，不止一次質疑他們欺騙和誤導選民、說法不…
"Unfairly conducted without a jury, the trial of the 47 activists undermines human rights. The active involvement of judges in questioning witnesses raises concerns about the fairness of the proceedings. The absence of a jury denies the defendants the right to a trial by their peers. This highlights the importance of an impartial and independent judicial system to safeguard human rights. The trial's lack of transparency and the judges' extensive intervention warrant scrutiny. The right to a fair trial must be upheld to ensure justice and protect fundamental freedoms. #47ActivistsTrial #UnfairTrial #NoJury #HumanRights #JudicialSystem"
In a deeply troubling development, 14 Hong Kong democrats have been found guilty while 2 were acquitted in an unfair trial that lacked a jury and involved judges appointed by the government. This landmark national security case not only undermines citizens' voting rights but also raises serious doubts about the impartiality and fairness of the proceedings. The absence of a jury denies defendants their right to a trial by their peers, further eroding the principles of justice. Upholding democratic values and safeguarding individual rights must remain a top priority. #HongKong #UnfairTrial #NoJury #AppointedJudges #VotingRights #NationalSecurityCase #JusticeUnderThreat
