CIVIL LIBERTIES IN HONG KONG
Thank you for your letter of 25 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.
Although Mr Archer describes the relevant laws as
"trivial", restrictions in Hong Kong on the use of
loudspeakers and the collection of money in public are
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
