The court of Final Appeal rules mask constitutional for all public events including authorised assemblies
In April 2020, the high courts ruled that anti-mask ban under emergency regulation on “public danger” is constitutional. Twenty-four incumbent lawmakers, Leung Kwok-hung and the government, have lodged judicial review on the anti-mask law in the Court of Final Appeal. Today (21 December), the court of Final Appeal handed down its judgement and upheld the government’s right to impose emergency measures. Also, it rules the mask ban is constitutional. Mask ban regulation applies all public gatherings, both unauthorised and those approved by police amid de-escalating the situation and ending the violence.
Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal Geoffrey Ma Tao-Li, and three Permanent Judges of the Court of Final Appeal including Mr Justice Ribeiro, Mr Justice Fok and Mr Justice Cheung, handled this appeal.
The argument of pro-camp stated that the power of “emergency regulation ordinance” was excess like unconstrained in the installation of a nuclear bomb. The ordinance applies in unauthorised assemblies under “Mask ban regulation” is over suppression of civilians’ rights. The government said “emergency regulation ordinance” has been reviewed by the court twice and is ruled as constitutional and it is under Hong Kong Basic Law after reunifying. Also, the government emphasised that mask ban regulation applies in unauthorised and approved assemblies amid deterrence peaceful civilian supporting violent protesters.
