The court accepted prosecution evidence (video and police identification) that appellants participated with others in pulling and removing police barricades to breach a cordon; the elements of illegal assembly under Cap.245 s18 were proved beyond reasonable doubt. The withheld operational documents were either irrelevant to the defence or properly withheld after balancing public interest against fairness given the PII certificate and detailed justification; non-disclosure did not render the trial unfair. Accordingly the convictions were upheld.
