An organisation and its members remain criminally liable for the offence committed despite disbandment or the resignation of its members.

Police made the statement following the Civil Human Rights Front's announcement of its disbandment today, noting that it had requested the group in April to submit information on its members, activities and funds in accordance with the Societies Ordinance. However, the group failed to submit the information within the designated period. Police are now taking follow-up action on the organisation’s violation of the ordinance.

The group has been operating illegally because it had neither registered with the Companies Registry as a company nor with the Police Licensing Office as a legal society since its establishment in 2002, the force added.
