Thank you for your letter of 18 June, enclosing one from Mr Robert Archer on behalf of the Catholic Institute for
International Relations and Hong Kong Link, about the prosecution of certain individuals in Hong Kong under the Summary Offences Ordinance.
As you will appreciate, these matters are sub judice,
pending further court hearings, and for this reason I cannot comment on the particular circumstances of the specific cases quoted in Mr Archer's letter.
