极度深寒Hong Kong Wang Fuk Court fire likely sparked by lit cigarette end: report_我的网站
一 |  The deadly residential fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po in Hong Kong last November was possibly caused by a lit cigarette end igniting combustible materials, according to the latest investigation report. The report said that, based on the available evidence, the fire is believed to have originated from a platform outside two units. The area was piled with up to 2 meters of debris, including safety nets and foam boards used to cover windows, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday. The report concluded that the blaze was highly likely an accidental fire caused by a cigarette butt igniting combustible materials at the site. The exact time of ignition could not be determined, but witness statements and CCTV footage suggested that the fire may have started between 2:30 pm and 2:43 pm that afternoon, according to Xinhua. On the afternoon of November 26, 2025, a fire broke out in multiple residential blocks at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, resulting in heavy casualties. In December of the same year, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu announced the establishment of an independent committee to examine the causes of the fire, determine accountability and make recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future. Global Times 。 MEXICO CITY -- Mexican court employees said Wednesday they will go on strike from Thursday through Tuesday to protest proposed funding cuts, threatening an already creaky court system.President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has proposed cutting funds for the judicial branch, arguing that judges make too much money and often protect criminals.The court employees’ union denied that its members — which include employees like typists and bailiffs — are overpaid, and said the cuts would affect them. Mexican courts have never been known for their speed or efficiency. One court recently handed down sentences against five soldiers in the 2010 killing of two university students, after legal proceedings that lasted almost 13 years.Despite some reforms, such multiyear trials are not uncommon in Mexico. That has contributed to the controversy surrounding López Obrador's push to require more suspects to stay in jail pending trials that may last years, even if they end in acquittal.Nor is it unusual for López Obrador to quarrel with other branches of government, especially the judiciary.López Obrador regularly criticizes judges by name for court rulings he doesn't like, accusing them of corruption or political bias. The president has also proposed reforming the constitution to make top court seats elected positions.。 Current article:http://www.feizengbubaipeirangnalouchuo.sbs/p50/pi1riv.html Published on:16:06:40 |
