Legal Scholars Advocates Amnesty for Both Police and Protesters; Chief Executive Office, “All Arrested Must be Prosecuted”
The Anti-ELAB movement has brought about intense clashes between the police and civilians, and the tension has yet to die down. On a discussion paper released yesterday, HKU Centre for Comparative and Public Law suggested that offering amnesty to both police and protesters could be a short-term solution in de-escalating the ongoing volatile situation. The paper stresses that amnesty does not go against the rule of law and the implementation is well within Hong Kong’s legal framework. Amnesty may entail both refraining from prosecution and pardoning of sentences, which the former shall include crimes of public order disturbance such as rioting and illegal assembly. In response to the legal scholars’ advice, the Chief Executive Office replied that Chief Executive Carrie Lam had already expressed her stance on the matter, “The suggestion of not prosecuting and not accounting for the crimes of the arrested goes against the principle of a society run by the rule of law, so amnesty will not be accepted.”
