Thank you for your letter of 29 June about the prosecution
of certain individuals in Hong Kong under the Summary Offences
Ordinance.
As you know, the cases referred to in your letter are sub
judice and I cannot comment on the particular circumstances of
the cases you quote.
Nevertheless, the laws under which charges are being
brought are laws of the Hong Kong Government. The decision to
prosecute was taken by the Hong Kong Attorney General. It must
be for the Hong Kong Government to handle these cases in
accordance with Hong Kong law.
The Rt. Hon. Paddy Ashdown, MP
You
