Albert Ho Chun-yan (Chinese: 何俊仁; Yale: Hòh Jeun Yàhn; Pinyin: ''Hé Jùnrén''; born 1 December 1951) is currently chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China and was chairman of the Democratic Party from 2006 to 2012. He is a solicitor and a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Ho was born in Hong Kong. He was elected to the Regional Council (disbanded in 1999), and Legislative Council in 1995 and has served since then. In 2004, Ho unsuccessfully challenged Rita Fan in the Legco presidential election. In 2015, Ho lost his District Council seat through which he was elected as LegCo member in 2012. In 2013, Ho grabbed international headlines after it was revealed that he had assisted Edward Snowden during the latter's stay in Hong Kong. ==Attack incident== On 20 August 2006, Ho was assaulted by three unidentified men using baseball bats and a baton〔, ''The Scotsman'', 20 August 2006〕 in a McDonald's restaurant in Central, Hong Kong, after he had attended a protest against the government's plan to adopt a Goods and Services Tax. He suffered injuries to his head, arm and face, including a broken nose.〔 (SCMP, ''South China Morning Post'' article, "Assailant thumps lawmaker and shoves banana in his face" ). Retrieved 26 October 2008.〕 Democratic Party chairman Lee Wing Tat claimed that the attack was related to a lawsuit Albert Ho was working on, and had nothing to do with politics. Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang condemned the attack, declaring that the attackers would be pursued to the "ends of the earth". Secretary for Security Ambrose Lee also condemned it. It was also the first attack on a LegCo member since the Handover. On 12 October 2006, five suspects were arrested by police in Hong Kong and Zhongshan. Cheung Wing-ho, Leung Kwan-ping, Chan Chun-kit and Leung Fu-keung were all been charged with "wounding with intent". A 56-year-old man was also arrested while trying to board a plane.〔 (''The Standard'', "Suspect tailed Ho at protest, police claim" ), 11 November 2006〕 Another suspect, a 77-year-old, was arrested on 3 November 2006, while trying to board a ferry to Macau. However, court proceedings were adjourned until 28 November because of the continuing investigations. The defendants were refused bail, as the magistrate perceived there was a serious flight risk. According to ''Next Magazine'' (Vol 870), these men were closely associated with Stanley Ho. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert Ho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
