Special Tactical Squad Commander Provides Witness Testimony 6 Months Later in "Rioting" Case, Unable to Recall Details
On July 28th, 2019, a newly married couple and 17 y/o Ms. Lee were charged with rioting after clashes in Sheung Wan. The case was reviewed at court yesterday afternoon and Poon, the STS Commander at the time admitted to have provided verbal evidence 6 months after the arrest. During the 6 months, he took part in around 50 operations and is unable to recall the details of what happened on July 28th.
When asked why he spoke out 6 months after the arrest, Poon refused to give a direct response and claimed the manager of the case invited him to provide evidence. Poon also claimed that he was only one of the many commanders during the operation and his colleagues already took note of his verbal evidence before going on court.
