75-year-old Swiss Amateur Photographer Accused of Obstructing Pro-China Man from Leaving the Protest Scene
A 75-year-old Swiss amateur photographer Progin Marc Gerard, residing in Hong Kong for 43 years, was charged with “aiding and abetting acts of disorderly conduct in public places”.
He denied the charge in court on Sept 10, 2020, saying that he only went to the scene to take photographs of the protest activities.
It was on Oct 4, 2019, citizens participating in the “Lunch with you” protest in Central were disturbed by a Mandarin-speaking man who took close-up photos at the scene. The Chinese man claimed that the defendant moved forward to obstruct him from entering Chater House and he was latter assaulted by other citizens at the scene.
In court, Gerard defended himself and pointed out the scene was peaceful as there was no sight of police presence. It only became chaotic when the Mandarin-speaking man took photos of other citizens.
