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

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.
