- HCMP1158/2021
The publication objectively promoted and condoned severe violence against police and breached the Incitement Injunction; an immediate custodial sentence was required but the prosecutorial delay and the contemnor's genuine remorse and mitigation justified reducing the length to six weeks' immediate imprisonment; costs payable by the defendant were fixed as a contribution of HK$25,000 with defendant's own costs to be taxed under Legal Aid Regulations.
