A hearing-impaired boy suspected of assaulting police officers during a 2019 demonstration was convicted and sentenced to a rehabilitation centre. He later appealed, the case was remanded for retrial, and he was retried in the Eastern District Court, where the boy said that he was misled by the police to confess, and that he did not have the equipment and weapons of the demonstrators at the time, and that he may have been innocently involved in the incident. After hearing the evidence, Magistrate Tang Siu-hung found that he could not admit his evidence in court without reasonable doubt, and ruled this afternoon (29th) that the boy was not guilty of assaulting a police officer.


The defendant, Mr Law Chun-kit, was charged with one count of assaulting a police officer for assaulting former Senior Superintendent Au Wing-leung outside Exit C of MTR Causeway Bay Station on 23 September 2019. Law was convicted in December 9 and sentenced to a rehabilitation centre, but his appeal was straightforward in September 15 and the case was remanded for retrial.

The defendant, Law Chun-kit, was acquitted in a retrial in the Eastern District Court.

Luo is hearing impaired and unable to call his mother

In the retrial, defence counsel objected to presenting the defendant's confession, saying that the police officer in charge of the investigation had said that he would arrange for Law to call his mother, but Law was hearing-impaired and could not make phone calls, so he could only use video telephones, believing that the police officer's statement was not credible. The magistrate eventually refused to allow the confession to be presented.

Many people at the scene may have been among the demonstrators

In its submission, the defence pointed out that there were many people at the scene of the incident, and many people who did not intend to participate in the demonstration may also be mixed between police officers and demonstrators. Luo had no demonstrator equipment or offensive weapons at the time, believing that Luo may have been innocently involved in the incident, and the case was just an accident.

The magistrate ruled that Law was found guilty, but ultimately found him not guilty of assaulting a police officer.
