Offences:	(1) Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (襲擊致造成身體傷害)
	(2) Common assault (普通襲擊)

REASONS FOR SENTENCE
- T+ G$ J. [( Z
1.  The defendants are convicted after trial of assaulting Tsang Kin Chiu thereby occasioning him actual bodily harm[1]. D5 was also found guilty of a further charge of assaulting Tsang Kin Chiu[2].
2.  Full particulars of the offences are set out in the reasons for verdict handed down on 14 February 2017.  In summary at about 2:45 a.m. on 15 October 2014 the police carried out Operation Solarpeak to clear the protestors of the Occupy Central movement.  When the police reached the end of the underpass on Lung Wo Road, Tsang Kin Chiu (“Tsang”) was seen on the planter above Lung Wo Road pouring liquid on the police.
3.  Tsang was pulled down from the planter to the pavement and subdued by several uniform police officers.  After the uniform police officers successfully handcuffed Tsang’s hands behind his back with plastic zip ties they handed Tsang over to D1-D6, who escorted Tsang away in the direction of Lung Wo Road.  On the way Tsang was picked up and carried face down.
4.  Protestors were to be taken to the escort coaches and cars on Lung Wo Road for transport to the Central Police Station.  D1-D6 did not carry Tsang direct to where the coaches and cars were parked.  Instead D1-D6 carried Tsang to the north side of the Lung Wui Road Government Building Pump Station East Substation (“the substation”) to assault him.
5.  On reaching the substation D1-D6 were joined by D7, who helped carry Tsang to the north side of the substation.  On reaching the north side of the substation Tsang was dumped on the ground and immediately assaulted by the defendants, with D7 being the first one to kick Tsang.9 `5 ?) p' C: [; v
6.  D3 participated in the assault by stabbing Tsang; stamping on Tsang and kicking Tsang and D4, D5, D6 and D7 also participated in the assault by kicking Tsang.  D1 and D2 did not take part in the assault but watched what happened.  Tsang received injuries to his face; the left side of the neck; the left shoulder and clavicle; the left flank; the right flank and to his chest and back.
7.  Every police officer has a duty to prevent the commission of a crime, even by fellow police officers.  By carrying Tsang to the substation and watching their colleagues beat up Tsang, D1 and D2, the two senior officers, intended to and did encourage and support D3-D7 to carry out the assault on Tsang, intending Tsang to sustain unlawful personal violence. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb" E2 A: T* a# b$ x
8.  After the assault Tsang was frogmarched to Lung Wo Road where he boarded a car.  D5 and D6 sat on either side of Tsang and accompanied him to the Central Police Station.  At the police station Tsang was taken to room 7 where he stayed until he was escorted by coach to the Police College in Wong Chuk Hang.  While in room 7 D5, in the presence of D6, slapped Tsang on the face twice.www2.tvboxnow.com8 c. u/ c- A5 k5 g
Mitigation
9.  In passing sentence, I have carefully considered everything said on behalf of the defendants together with the many mitigation letters, all of which speak very highly of the defendants.  D1 joined the police force in 1984; D2 in 2009; D3 in 1992; D4 in 1999; D5 in 2007; D6 in 2008; and D7 in 1998. The defendants all have long and distinguished careers in the police force earning many compliments and commendations.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb+ k6 s& e# N4 b! V
10.  Submissions have been made as to the unique circumstances confronting the police during the Occupy Central movement.  Mr Lok SC informs the court that police officers had to work very long hours and in carrying out their duty were subject to insulting remarks and violent behaviour from the protestors.  I am told 130 police officers were injured. There can be no doubt that all police officers, including the defendants, were working under great pressure during the Occupy Central movement. www2.tvboxnow.com2 h. u# O9 q, _) ^' ?
11.  Mr Lok SC, Mr Cheng SC and Ms Lam specifically submitted that if a prison sentence is to be imposed then the sentence should be suspended[3].tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb) w1 U5 j+ H. h3 A  E
Sentence
12.  In HKSAR v Hui Man Tai[4] the Court of Appeal said:

“Police officers in whom the public place trust to uphold the law, but who themselves break the very laws they are empowered and entrusted to uphold, have to be made examples in terms of deterrent sentencing so that others will not be tempted to follow along similar lines and so that public confidence will be maintained.”TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。- r& m9 u# u9 Z6 g6 V( ^

13.  The defendants have not only brought dishonour to the Hong Kong Police Force they have also damaged Hong Kong’s reputation in the international community, the assault having been widely viewed around the world and reported as front-page news in a number of countries[5].www2.tvboxnow.com( ]2 Y" Y. O$ O. W( j
14.  Although Tsang had broken the law for which he was subsequently sentenced to imprisonment[6] and the defendants were at the time acting under immense stress, there was no justification for taking Tsang to the substation and assaulting him.
15.  The defendants, serving police officers who in the execution of their duty took Tsang to the substation to assault him; the multiplicity of the injuries sustained by Tsang as a result of the assault; and the damage to Hong Kong’s reputation make this, in my view, a very serious case. 公仔箱論壇! S2 Z; D7 I& R+ m
16.  I am satisfied a term of imprisonment is appropriate.  Tsang was defenceless, his hands handcuffed behind his back with plastic ties.  The assault was a vicious assault, in particular the first thirty seconds when Tsang was dumped on the ground, stabbed, stamped on and repeatedly kicked.  Most fortunately Tsang did not suffer more serious injuries. www2.tvboxnow.com4 Z8 h1 [6 ~* f0 T
17.  I am satisfied a sentence of 2 years and 6 months imprisonment is appropriate.5 P) v; I5 _  H% p% I7 v
18.  Taking into account the circumstances prevailing at the time and the great stress the police were under in handling the Occupy Central movement; that the defendants, all of clear record, have served the community as police officers; that the conviction will result in all the defendants being dismissed from the police force and the likely loss of any pensions; and the stress caused while waiting for trial, I reduce the sentence by 6 months to 2 years imprisonment. www2.tvboxnow.com; u$ K8 ?0 O5 G7 P" K6 V( s
19.  Having regard to all the circumstances of the commission of the offence and that of the defendants, I am satisfied that the assault is too serious for the imposition of a suspended sentence. 8 V8 W2 V7 I- j  q6 R% G2 C3 B4 K, v
20.  On charge 2, I am satisfied the proper sentence is 1 month imprisonment.  Although separate from the assault at the substation, considering totality of sentence, I am satisfied a concurrent sentence is appropriate.  D5 is sentenced to 1 month imprisonment concurrent to the sentence imposed on charge 1.

七名警察於佔領行動期間襲擊曾健超，早前被判「襲撃造成他人身體傷害」罪成，還押三天後，七名被告今早於區域法院被判囚兩年，不可緩刑。第五被告陳少丹的普通襲撃罪則判監一個月，同期執行。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb+ r$ s. `; L' l+ p: h4 F

; k& F0 P% x. W5 T# C
7名被告依次為總督察黃祖成（50歲）、高級督察劉卓毅（31歲）、警長白榮斌（43歲）、警員劉興沛（39歲）、陳少丹（33歲）、關嘉豪（33歲）和黃偉豪（38歲）。6 u( Q0 }, f, p( T8 I
法官杜大衛今早簡述案情後稱，當天示威者被捕後應被帶上旅遊巴或私家車，載往中區警署，但眾被告則將曾健超帶到添馬公園變電站襲擊他。
第七被告是第一個踢曾的人，第三被告則捅他、踩及踼曾，第四、五和六被告均有參與襲擊，首、次被告則旁觀。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。0 @0 v( j- J; b1 Q

法官強調，警員有責任防止任何人犯罪，包括警員犯罪，但他們兩人作為現場較高級的警察，旁觀襲擊，意圖和實際鼓勵支持其餘被告向曾健超施襲。
法官稱有充份考慮求情理由，並指求情信均對被告高度評價。法官又引述求情陳詞指，警隊在佔中期間要長時間工作，又要面對示威者的暴力和侮辱，無疑包括被告的所有警員均在極大壓力下工作，其中第一、二和六的代表律師均要求判以緩刑。

「七警案」中，惟一一名兩項控罪罪成的涉案警員陳少丹。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb$ |- M$ ~: o( w9 J4 ]5 s4 T

公眾信警員護法紀　必須判阻嚇刑罰tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb# l0 S2 G( I1 M% [4 Z$ Y

然而法官引述上訴庭案例稱，公眾信任警員維護法紀，若有警員違法，有必要判處阻嚇刑罰，以維持公眾的信心。
法官指，今次事件廣被國際傳媒報道，亦破壞香港國際聲譽，又令警隊蒙羞。法官指，即使曾健超犯法，警員面對很大壓力，也非把曾帶到變電站襲擊的理由。法官又強調，曾健超當是雙手被綁無力反抗，案件太嚴重，監禁是合適刑期，不適合緩刑。
法官指兩年半刑期是恰當，考慮各被告佔中時面對很大壓力、沒有案底、於警隊中服務社會，定罪後他們將失去警員工作，或失長俸，故減刑6個月，即全部判監兩年。第五被告陳少丹的普通襲撃罪則判監一個月，同期執行。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。% P0 I1 ^0 i$ G5 A

七警聞判後表現冷靜，其中第二被告劉卓毅表現得頗落寞。代表首被告的資深大律師駱應淦於庭外表示，他指出，「襲擊致造成身體傷害罪」最高可判囚三年，今次所判的兩年刑期不可算太重，法官亦有其判刑理由。他表示第一被告考慮就定罪上訴，亦會其他被告方面商量。被問到首被告對判刑反應如何，駱稱「梗係唔開心啦」。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。% c& r2 Z3 ]7 t. d5 Q
他又透露，開庭時他向法官提及、過去兩日收到的逾千封求情信中，包括數名區議會主席所寫的信，但無透露具體身份。駱應淦又指，收到逾千封求情信中，並沒包括立法會議員和官員，至於有否包括警務人員，駱則表示不清楚。至於會否為被告申請保釋等候上訴，駱表示「無咁簡單」，因若被判的刑期長，一定要有好很份的理據。 F, ~1 w% z" i6 |

被問到何謂可接受的範圍，陳祖光則指表示「唔評論」，著大家與以往案件作比較。陳又指案件「疑點重重」，認為應在上訴庭內充份反映，但被問及「疑點重重」的意思時，陳祖光就指因已開始上訴，「喺呢度唔會逐一（疑點）話畀大家聽」。
而警務督察協會主席李占安認為，刑期遠超於預期，比以往涉及襲擊致造成身體傷害罪的判刑重。協會支持7名被告上訴的意向，會提供協助及照顧其家人。李認為，警察都是人，不應因案件特別嚴重就加重刑罰，否則只是人治。
