Eight Hong Kong police officers suspended from duty for alleged offences against street sleepers have been charged with perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office.
The six male and two female officers, aged 26 to 44, of the Sham Shui Po special duty squad were arrested earlier this year on suspicion of falsely accusing a street sleeper of drug possession and smashing the property of the homeless in two operations in Tung Chau Street Park in February.
On Tuesday, they were charged with perverting the course of justice, misconduct in public office, criminal damages and wounding.
