Four Hong Kong police officers have lost their appeal against convictions for framing a homeless man and covering up the crime. The Court of Appeal delivered the ruling on Thursday, stating the officers intended to pervert the course of justice. The case dates back to February 4, 2020, during an anti-drug operation. The officers were found to have obstructed surveillance cameras while colleagues fabricated evidence against a street sleeper, accusing him of drug possession. The officers had been convicted and sentenced to jail terms earlier. Their appeal argued against the convictions, but the court upheld the original decision. The court emphasized that the officers' actions were deliberate attempts to obstruct justice. The case has drawn attention to police misconduct in Hong Kong. The homeless man was wrongfully accused, but the framing was later uncovered. The four officers are now serving their sentences. The ruling reinforces accountability within the police force. No further details about the sentences or the victim were provided in the judgment.
