Leticia Wong Man-huen, former Civic Party Shatin District Councillor, and her then district councillor assistant were issued Fixed Penalty Tickets for violating the social gathering ban in Hong Kong when they set up the booth outside City One MTR (Mass Transit Railway) Station for distributing anti-pandemic materials with several members of the “Hong Kong Student’s Concern Groups Alliance,” which opposed the reformation of the subject of Liberal Studies in secondary schools, on Feb. 20, 2021.

They both pleaded not guilty and chose to defend themselves. The case was heard in the Shatin Magistrates Court on July 15, and Magistrate Pang Leung-ting denounced the four police officers’ testimony as one-sided, subjective, and unreliable.
