Simon Shen on IPCC Effectiveness and Credibility

(11 Nov)
1. In Sep 2019, IPCC said "International Expert Panel will first examine the restructuring of the task force and the work of identifying the facts. It will focus on the work in the 2nd and 3rd phrases, which are evaluating of the policing measures and providing recommendations. "

Cheung Wah-fung, deputy Chairman of IPCC, said" the 5 board members of International Expert Panel are reputable, experienced and credible, they can improve the work and goodwill. "

2. Nov-2019, Denis O'Connor, Chairman of the Panel, criticised that IPCC was lacking of capacity and independent investigative capability. It must increase its resources and manpower to strengthen its power to obtain evidence for comprehensive investigation.

And Clifford Stott denounced that IPCC lacked investigation authority which matches the scale of the anti-elab protests in order to meet with the international standards and expectations in a society value freedom and rights.

3. Nov-2019, Cheung Wah-fung said "the Overseas Expert Panel may not fully understand the situation in HK, the procedure in investigation or obtaining evidence from police is not difficult"

According to his logic, there are two conclusions

4a. IPCC: When the Panel speaks for freedom and the truth, it lacks experience and credibility

4b. IPCC: When the Panel covers up for police, it understands the situation in HK well
