Section 18(1) of the Public Order Ordinance is consistent with Article 17 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights; the police cordon was lawfully established under the Police Force Ordinance s.10 and was a proportionate and necessary measure to preserve public peace; the appellants actively participated in a rush on the cordon and their conduct satisfied the statutory requirement of being likely to cause a reasonable person to fear a breach of the peace; convictions are therefore upheld.
