What now for woman in breast assault case on cop? Supporting democracy, more protests and ... a vacation
Ng Lai-ying and boyfriend Kwong Chun-lung reflect on anti-mainland sentiments; they may launch a civil lawsuit against officers in arrest
Under Hong Kong law however, anyone can assault others with any part of their body.
Ng was originally jailed three months and 15 days for assaulting an inspector during a protest against mainland parallel traders last year. She failed to appeal against her conviction, but successfully overturned her jail sentence last month. She was instead ordered to serve 200 hours of community service.
In an exclusive interview, Ng and her boyfriend Kwong Chun-lung – who was also involved in the scuffle and sentenced to 12 months of probation – told the Post that as much as they were remorseful for their actions, they did not regret their beliefs.
