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
