The Hong Kong Government advised the representatives that
the possession of a visa does not guarantee that a
visitor will be admitted into Hong Kong. Visas do not
confer the right to land. Under Section 11 (1) of the
Immigration Ordinance, an Imigration officer may refuse
a visitor leave to enter Hong Kong, even if he holds a
visa.
The Hong Kong Government's general policy is not to allow
Hong Kong to be used by outsiders for their own political
purposes. This in no way affects the rights of Hong Kong
residents to freedom of speech within the law.
