【突发】林鼎今早突被捕 代表律师抗议逮捕不公

人民之声党领袖林鼎律师,今早在位于珍珠大厦的办公处,为下周梁实轩对总理诽谤诉讼案做准备。不料在11时许,有三名商业事务局警员到场,将林鼎逮捕返警局协助调查。 本地维权律师拉维(M Ravi)在脸书更新信息,表示将充任林鼎的辩护律师。他表示,林鼎在被戴上手铐时一度抗议,并指这是有政治动机的逮捕。 目击者称,警方逮捕林鼎,相信和后者未如期出席一项与警方约谈有关,即使林鼎的律师早前已致函警方知会此事。 林鼎请拉维发出简短声明,并指有关调查事项,早已交民事法庭审理,拉维已致函警方,要求警方尊重法庭程序,并强调有关逮捕乃是非法的。 基于其中一项“刑事失信”(Criminal Breach of Trust)指控目前仍在法庭聆讯过程,林鼎不便对此发言。另一项指控则涉及骚扰前职员。 林鼎也代表时评人梁实轩,在总理的诽谤诉讼中辩护,有关诉讼原定下周(6日至10日)在法庭公堂聆审。
