Alvin Yeung talks to RTHK's Janice Wong
A lawyer offering legal services to protesters who took part in last year's Occupy Central movement has suggested that some officers may have been giving false evidence in court. 

Alvin Yeung, who is the spokesman for the Occupy Central volunteer group of lawyers, said the Department of Justice should follow up on the matter. 

Yeung told RTHK’s Janice Wong that this is also one of the reasons why the acquittal rate for legal cases related to the democracy movement has been quite high.
