Shocking: Judge in Stand News Case Admits Ruling Lacks Clear Legal Basis
In a stunning development, Judge Kwok Wai-kin has not only reversed his previous ruling in the Stand News case but also admitted that this new decision lacks a clear legal foundation.
Key points:
• Judge Kwok broadened the definition of sedition
• He acknowledged the new definition isn't based on existing law, but aims to "effectively safeguard national security"
• Criminal intent expanded from "intentional incitement" to include "disregarding consequences of incitement"
What does this mean?
• Journalists may face imprisonment based on rulings without clear legal basis
• Serious questions raised about Hong Kong's rule of law and judicial independence
• Unprecedented threat to press freedom and freedom of expression
This ruling not only affects the Stand News case but could have far-reaching implications for Hong Kong's entire journalism industry and legal system.

晚上，一名穿黑衣的青年手持向日葵向太子站鞠躬，隨即被帶入警署，他被帶走前向《獨媒》稱，「起碼我無忘記，喺度嘅人都無忘記，警方都無忘記」，又稱選擇向日葵是寓意要記住當時因為事件而受傷的人，也是要查清真相。
