Hong Kong's appeal court on Friday overturned the conviction of two police officers -- and reduced the sentence of five others -- over the 2014 ...
Two officers had their convictions quashed. The court ruled that while they were members of the squad involved in the beating, they were not identified by the victim or in the video footage, making their convictions unsafe.
In their judgement the three judges said Tsang was"kicked, stamped on and beat for a sustained period while he was lying defenceless on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, causing obvious and serious injuries to his face, neck, shoulder, chest and back". But they ruled the initial trial judge's sentence of two years for the officers was"manifestly excessive".
