What's going on with this guy? So even when people not being able to hire their own attorney, trail behind close door, and all those corruption, China still has #ruleoflaw. If that's the case, why not suggest to adopt the legal system from #China to #UK?

After taking control over the bar accociation by threatening other candidates, #CCP is now chasing after lawyers who have helped activists. This has never happened before in #HK. Can anyone still say the #RuleOfLaw exists and remain its independence?

Judge Kwok Wai-kin praised the man who stabbed 3 people 2 years ago noble. Former Chief Justice of the Court, Geoffrey Ma call him risk of compromising impartiality. Kwok's judgement has a reputation to destroy the #ruleoflaw in #HK for years.

#HKGov is using every means to stop #JimmyLai from hiring Timothy Owen's as his attorney. If the government is doing something illegal, they simply don't allow people to hire their own lawyer.

The country's top legislature has passed an interpretation of Hong Kong's national security law, clarifying that the courts need approval from the Chief Executive, or the committee on safeguarding national security, to allow foreign lawyers to take part in national security cases here.

Their intention is only to prevent #JimmyLai from hiring a foreign lawyer.

With the new interpretation, it will put John Lee above the law.

After the court rejected to ban the song “Glory to Hong Kong”, DOJ told the judge to follow the Chief Executive’s order. Maybe Hong Kong should consider not having a court at all.

周庭稱曾隨國安警到深圳換准離港 警未回應是否屬實 學者指可加條文外條件 https://bit.ly/3R70mV6
The alleged action of the national security police bringing Agnes Chow to mainland China raises concerns regarding the legality and resemblance to police practices in China. If true, it would be a violation of due process and the principles of a fair legal system. Such actions undermine the autonomy and rule of law in Hong Kong, eroding the distinctions between the law enforcement practices of Hong Kong and mainland China. This further fuels fears about the erosion of civil liberties and human rights in the region. #AgnesChow #NationalSecurityPolice #HongKong #RuleOfLaw

Mainland court orders on civil, commercial matters can now be enforced in Hong Kong https://hongkongfp.com/2024/01/29/mainland-court-orders-on-civil-commercial-matters-can-now-be-enforced-in-hong-kong/
Concerns rise as Hong Kong implements a new law allowing enforcement of mainland Chinese court rulings, raising fears about erosion of the city's rule of law and judicial independence. Critics worry about the impact on Hong Kong's legal autonomy and international reputation.

The new law allowing enforcement of mainland Chinese court rulings in Hong Kong has negatively impacted the perception of its judicial system. Concerns about eroding judicial independence, diminished autonomy, uncertainty, and human rights issues have raised doubts about the fairness and independence of Hong Kong's judiciary.

May 20: DOJ continued to ignore the video from the attack at Yuen Long station on July 21, 2019, and accuse victims were those who provoke the gangs, which clearly was gathered to attack passengers indiscriminately.

The recent arrests under Hong Kong's national security law serve as a reminder that no one is safe from the reach of Article 23. The apprehensions, including prominent activist Chow Hang-tung, instill fear and raise concerns about freedom of expression and the rule of law. The use of the law to target individuals and suppress dissent has a chilling effect on society. It underscores the need for continued vigilance in protecting fundamental rights and preserving the autonomy of Hong Kong. #Article23 #NationalSecurityLaw #HongKong #FreedomOfExpression #RuleOfLaw

Part 1 初選 47 人案,經過三年多終於有裁決,毫不意外地 16 個不認罪的被告,絕大部分被判罪成,47 人只有兩人暫時脫罪,但仍要面對上訴。雖然結局早已注定,但作為香港歷史上最重大的政治審判,仍然有必要將法庭如何將香港反對派代表人物全部打成顛覆國家罪犯,留下一個簡單的紀錄。 由當日民主派大搜捕開始,公眾心中都有同一個疑問:立法會議員行使憲制權力,否決政府提出的財政預算案,如何可以被指稱是顛覆國家政權? 今日,李運騰、陳慶偉和陳仲衡三個法官,給出了法庭的答卷。他們前後用了 337 頁、87000…
The Hong Kong court twisted logic and law to imprison opposition figures and strip away citizens' voting rights. They exploited the broad definitions of the national security law, labeling peaceful actions as subversion. The court equated legislative activities with unlawful conspiracy, undermining democracy. They ignored the defense's argument and extended "unlawful means" to non-criminal acts. This sets a dangerous precedent, allowing the government to criminalize dissent. The trial unjustly imprisoned individuals and eroded voting rights, undermining democracy. This highlights the erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy and the need for international support.

The calendar of this year’s June is exactly like the one 5 years ago. June 16th, was a Father’s Day, but it wasn’t a time for celebration. Instead, millions of families came out to protest against a bill that would destroy the #ruleoflaw.

Everyone in the city knew that in order to maintain the city’s order and status, the bill needed to be revoked. However, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong at the time, Carrie Lam, was arrogant enough not to respond. The government even transform the city into a #PoliceState, organized #TerroristAttack on July21, and #Police randomly attacking regular citizens on Aug31.

Now, look at the city, what has it become? Dropping its ranking in every single criteria. Even judges resigned saying that Hong Kong is becoming a #totalitarianstate. This is 1 of many brilliant cities the #CCP destroys.

// 香港終審法院前非常任法官岑耀信(Jonathan Sumption)上周撰文評論香港法治垂危,隨即惹來特區政府與中方駐港機構連日發文攻擊。 曾任終院非常任法官長達18年的梅師賢(Anthony Mason)是澳洲高院前首席大法官,一直很支持香港終院保留海外法官的制度。他接受《明報》訪問時表示,強烈不接納中方對岑耀信人格作出的批評,形容岑耀信是高度受人尊重的法官。對於岑耀信評論「港區國安法」衝擊香港法治,梅師賢認為即使法官不同意條文內容,包括認為嚴苛或侵犯人權,但只要法例是有效,法官也只能依法判案。//…
Former Australian Chief Justice Anthony Mason, who supports the retention of overseas judges in Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, strongly rejects the attacks on former UK Supreme Court judge Jonathan Sumption's character by the Hong Kong government and Chinese authorities. Mason describes Sumption as a highly respected judge. Regarding Sumption's comments on the impact of the national security law on Hong Kong's rule of law, Mason believes that even if judges disagree with the law's provisions, including finding them harsh or violating human rights, they must still apply the law if it is valid. #JudicialIndependence #JonathanSumption #AnthonyMason #OverseasJudges #RuleOfLaw #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw
"In the '818 Flowing Procession' case, HK's Court of Final Appeal rejects appeals by Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Wu Chi-wai, and others for 'participating in a gathering,' sparking controversy over alleged damage to assembly rights. Former HK Governor Patten criticizes the ruling's injustice. Int'l concern mounts over unfair trials in HK. Lord Patterson comments: 'This unjust verdict is worsened by Lord Neuberger's involvement.' HK gov't condemns Patten's 'malicious defamation.' #HongKong #RuleOfLaw #JusticeSystem"
