Defendant Appears With Crutches: Beaten by at Least Two Police

6 people were charged with a total of three counts of criminal offenses relating to explosives found in the public toilet of Caritas Medical Centre on Jan 27; Shenzhen Bay Port on Jan 28; and inside an MTR carriage at Lo Wu station on Feb 2.

The case was brought to the Shatin Magistrates' Courts on March 11; however, two of the defendants were hospitalized and therefore absent from the hearing.

One defendant was discharged from the hospital on March 14. The other with a fracture was discharged on March 18 and sent for trial. The defendent was seen limping and using crutches.

The defence complained that the defendant was beaten by at least two police, forcing him to sign a confession involuntarily. The prosecution requested postponing the case for further investigation.

Magistrate Kathie Cheung Kit Yee refused the prosecution's
objection to the defendant’s bail. Citizens observing the case shouted “Hang in there!"

Government halts District Council's distribution of Anti-epidemic Kits
Pro-democracy Councilor: “Politics overriding human lives”

The Wanchai District Council began the distribution of disinfectant packs from this week. However, the Home Affairs Department suddenly called off the campaign, claiming that the distributed brochures contained wrong information, as the “Wuhan Pneumonia” wordings printed on them should be corrected to “COVID-19”.

Chairwoman of the Wan Chai District Council Clarisse Yeung Suet-ying believed that such an action from the Home Affairs Department conveyed the message that citizens’ lives were worth nothing compared to political duty.

Yeung stressed that the major targets of the the packs were singleton elderly and families with low income, and the distribution campaign could not be halted only because of a name.
