Seek for Help - Discrimination between the rich and the poor before the law
To whom that may concern
I'm a resident of Hong Kong SAR, who would like to disclose the discrimination between the rich and the poor before the law.
On 27th Jan, some nude photos of three popular artistes have beenposted on different forums, and the news spread quickly via theInternet, those photos
could be downloaded easily from different forums, search engines anddownload soft wares. The artistes and their management company, EmperorEntertainment
Group, reported this to the HK Police, after they made a statementwhich claims those photos from the internet aren't real, and may chargethe offender for
defamation.
The Hong Kong Police Force called a press conference to show theirconcern about these nude photos of celebrities, and assigned 100 copsto investigate this
case, and monitor the Internet to make sure no more celebrities' nude photos leak out.
This unusual act of the Hong Kong Police Force caused a lot ofdiscontent among the society. As for not long ago, there's a serial catmurder case, the Hong
Kong Police Force claimed they were lack of manpower and unable togather evidence, and let the cat murder continued for weeks. But as forthis celebrity
case, the Police Force shown that they are able to arrange hundreds ofcivil servants in a few hours, and that really surprises all theresidents.
On 31st Jan, Hong Kong Police arrested a suspect, and was taken beforethe judge on 1st Feb. But this celebrity libel case suspect is forbidto apply for
parole, which rarely happens to a misdemeanor suspect like this.Without the parole, it is just a different form of serving the sentencein prison.
There were a few questionable cases happened in Hong Kong not long ago.Two months ago, a car accident that caused one death, the sentence fordriver on a
Porsche, is only HKD2000 penalty and suspension of his driver license.There was also a rape case with a wealthy suspect that the suspect getsto release in
parole too.
Comparing with this celebrity nude photo case, the suspect isunemployed and has 500k debts from his credit cards. The court took thesituation of the
suspect, which is completely penniless as a reason to define the himhas the motive to commit a crime. So the suspect in this case won't getthe right to
release in parole until mid-March.
As for a normal resident like me and most others, not rich but justaverage income, have realized that the discrimination between the richand the poor, even
the court and before the law.
And what brings the huge concern of Hong Kong residents is, on 2nd Feb,the Hong Kong Police Force arrest 4 people for 'having obscenephotographs in their
computer' and suspects of 'uploading obscene photographs onto theInternet'. Which the truth is, those 4 people were only posting a linkof the relative
photos' downloading websites onto the Internet. And the 'forward' partdoes not act against the law in Hong Kong, which those who downloadedthe images
should bear no legal responsibility. Only the one uploaded thoseobscene photos, and passed them to people under the age of 18, his actwould be criminal.
Hong Kong Police Force have made a announcement that keeping obscencephotos, even not about this celebrity defamation case, would beillegel. So having
porns and nude photos in the computer will be consider as a crime.Thats the most unbelievable thing I have ever heard. All caused by theRich and Famous
celebrities and their company.
'All men are equal before the law'? I doubted if this applies in Hong Kong
