//The Basic Law establishes a clear separation of powers between executive and legislative branches. A law that allows the Chief Executive to make laws appears unconstitutional. We expect a judicial review if she tries it. Even if she succeeds, draconian laws don't address the root problem: a deficit in democratic accountability for both the CE and LegCo. We again propose local legislation to scrap corporate voting and democratise the system.//

Internet Society Hong Kong Chapter Applies for Judicial Review
States Interim Injunction Order on Internet Messages as Unconstitutional

Last month, the High Court has granted an interim injunction order to restrain anyone from illegally and intentionally spreading, publishing, or republishing any message that promotes or incites the use of violence through internet or medium. Internet Society Hong Kong has applied for a judicial review, in hopes that the court can consider the injunction unconstitutional. The High Court opened a session this morning to make a decision.

The Secretary For Justice Teresa Cheng applied for prolonging the interim injunction order of banning any message that promotes or incites the use of violence through internet or any other platform like telegram.

The Internet Society of Hong Kong took to the court, denouncing the act as unconstitutional. At around 16:00, the High Court rejected the application of judicial review and accepted the Secretary of Justice's request to prolong the injunction order.
