The "Volunteer Lawyer" in the chaos is privately collecting money!The situation may be disqualified from lawyers!

[Global Times special reporter Yang Weimin Yu Feng in Hong Kong] During the 2019 "Repairing Storm", a chaos organization called "612 Human Nata Support Fund" suddenly emerged and claimed to support those mobs arrested by the police. In early May of this year, all five trusties in the organization were arrested. However, the police found in a subsequent investigation that many of the "voluntary lawyers" invited by the organization were secretly collecting money in private and suspected of professionalism. The Hong Kong Lawyer Association said that the 35 lawyers involved in the case may directly cancel the lawyer's qualifications if the situation is bad.

According to the Hong Kong "01" network, the Hong Kong police issued a press release on September 1 last year, saying that the National Security Department is investigating the "612 Humanitarian Support Fund" suspected of violating the National Security Law or other laws in Hong Kong. Fund trustner. Five people arrested include Xu Baoqiang, an associate professor of the Department of Culture Research of Qianling South University. He was arrested at the airport when he left Hong Kong on May 10 this year, suspected of violating the crime of collusion with foreign forces. The remaining four fund trusties include Hong Kong's former bravery Chen Rijun, barrister Wu Yiyi, singer He Yunshi, and former Legislative Councilor He Xiulan.

After arresting the above -mentioned chaos leaders, the police said that during the investigation, some lawyers and barristers were suspected of professional misconduct when providing legal services. It is reported that when someone assisted in handling anti -repair cases, he claimed to the judiciary to represent the defendant in the "voluntary form", but in fact, he received the money paid to them.

Hong Kong media previously reviewed that the "612 Fund" was established on June 15, 2019, claiming to provide humanitarian support for all black storms, including medical, criminal or civil law expenses. According to disclosure, the organization claimed to help the arrested as "volunteer lawyers" to fight lawsuits, and many lawyers who were hired were actually their "themselves". The organization also launched the so -called "second barrister" funding plan at the end of last year on the grounds of financial urgency, calling on "Yellow Silk to hire Lawyer Huang Si" to involve benefit transmission.

Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily said that about 10,200 people have been arrested since the "repair storm", and 2804 of them have been prosecuted. Prior to December last year, the Hong Kong Legal Aid Department had been allowing the defendant to choose the "favorite lawyer" on the grounds of the "Human Rights Law", and a group of young lawyers were "named" to join the defense team by the defendant. It is understood that in order to accumulate the number of lawsuits and experience, young lawyers who have been named the defendant will often participate in the case in the name of "obligations" and also report to the judicial institutions as "obligations lawyers". However, they privately suspected of collecting the "612 Fund" payment fee, and the organization will pay the lawyer at different prices as the complexity of the case or which level of courts. Some media disclosed that a document showed that some lawyers were sentenced to a "repair storm" case hearing on behalf of a lawyer on behalf of a "repair storm" case on behalf of a lawyer on May 27 last year, and directly charged the "612 Fund" 6,000 Hong Kong dollars to undertake rewards. Sing Tao Daily said that these lawyers, known as "obligations," actually ranging from 3,000-6000 Hong Kong dollars daily.

According to reports, the Lawyers Association had sent letters to multiple lawyers last week to ask them to explain why the "612 Fund" cash or checks are directly charged in related cases instead of receiving money Have you claimed to represent the defendant with obligations? It is understood that most of the people involved are younger barristers, and the Barrad Association requires a written explanation within a time limit. Once suspected of violating the rules of behavior, if the barrister involved is ruled to be unjust, severe cases can be disqualified from practice. The Lawyer Association said earlier that confirmed that he had received a complaint from the National Security Department, saying that he would not comment before completing the investigation.

After the implementation of the National Security Law, the legal community in Hong Kong continued to rectify to fill the previous legal loopholes. The Ministry of Justice of the Mainland issued an announcement on June 24, deciding that the lawyer's practice certificate (Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao Greater Bay Area) was launched from June 28, 2022, and provided professional documents for lawyers in the nine cities of Hong Kong and Macau lawyers in the nine cities in the Greater Bay Area.

Hong Kong judicial institutions suggest that strictly managed "listeners"

After the "repair storm", many Hong Kong courts appeared in the Hong Kong courts to disrupt the order of chaos. They often shook judges, shouted slogans on the spot, and even illegally spread the court video. After the implementation of the National Security Law, the Hong Kong police arrested some mobs suspected of illegal discipline in the court. Nowadays, Hong Kong judicial agencies have stated that they should directly legislate and strictly control violent observors.

In the past few years, a group of people who often appeared at the court of political cases in the past few years were called "listeners" in the local area. In fact, many of them support "Hong Kong independence" violence, and some even organize specialists from overseas organizations to the trial site. According to a report from Hong Kong's "Base" on the 7th, "listeners" were tried in the court when the "Council" related cases were tried in the court. Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily" disclosed last year that "listeners" often shouted loudly in court, clapped their hands, and even furiously angry with the defendant's sentence of the defendant and prosecutors. Although the judge had repeatedly warned and ordered the police to record the identity card information of the person who disrupted the order, the behavior of the "listener" became intensified.

It was not until April of this year that the Hong Kong Police National Security Department proposed the prosecution of the six "listeners", so that the court began to restore tranquility. The six people were suspected of having a disturbance during listening to the courts at all levels, and some were suspected to post incite films online. Hong Kong judicial agencies have legislation on strict regulatory suggestions, saying that during the on -site or remote interrogation, if they are not authorized or released related images or voice records, they are illegal, and the publisher can be prisoned for up to 5 years and a fine of 100,000 yuan. The judicial institution launched a three -month public consultation on the proposal, and the consultation period until September 15 this year. Consultation documents show that two new crimes and penalties are recommended to regulate legal procedures to be recorded and published without authorization. Hong Kong's legal community has expressed support for this. The former criminal prosecution commissioner Jiang Leli believes that the laws in Hong Kong must be advanced with the times. The chaos of the "repair storm" shows that some foreign politicians attempt to destroy the "one country, two systems" by creating public opinion. In addition to basic rights, they must also perform their duties to their cities and countries. Lawyer Lu Weixiong said that the court has always strictly restricted the words and deeds of listeners. It is not allowed to be allowed to make a noise because of dissatisfaction with the judge's judgment or the prosecution's words. If the problem still fails to stop the problem after pressure, the only method is legislation. Senior barrister Tang Jiazheng said that he hopes that legislation can help the public understand which behaviors will be limited, and 5 years will be able to have enough scary effects as the upper limit of punishment.
