A Hong Kong court has heard recordings of years-old speeches made by two Tiananmen vigil activists facing national security charges, with a judge noting that the transcripts prepared by the prosecution contained “many errors.”The Tiananmen vigil in Victoria Park on June 4, 2018.
Prosecutors on Thursday began playing footage of speeches made by Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung during Tiananmen vigils after concluding their opening statements on Tuesday.
Lai said clips prior to March 2018 would not be played in court and transcripts would be provided instead.
“It sounds like [the transcripts] have many errors,” Judge Lee said in Cantonese, urging the prosecution to fix the mistakes.
Defence lawyer Yvonne Leung, representing Lee Cheuk-yan, also said her team noted other errors in the transcripts and would discuss with prosecutors.
