Reporters Without Borders expressed disappointment, highlighting the potential impact on press freedom advocacy. #HongKong#JudicialIndependence"

In the '818 Flowing Procession' case at Victoria Park in 2019, final appeal by Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Wu Chi-wai, Leung Kwok-hung, Claudia Mo, Martin Lee, and Albert Ho for illegal assembly charges unanimously rejected by the Court of Final Appeal. Chief Justice Zhang Juneng emphasizes UK legal precedents differ from HK's context. Overseas judge David Neuberger, part of the ruling, finds no distinction in assessing restrictions on assembly rights between the two jurisdictions.

香港司法獨立的爭議 前最高法院法官約翰·薩姆普頓（Lord Jonathan Sumption）指責香港的司法機構對政府“過於偏袒”，引發關注。他在播客中提到，最近的案件顯示司法機構似乎向政府低頭，特別是在47位民主派人士案中有14人被定罪的情況下。 薩姆普頓還提到《立場新聞》的煽動罪判決，認為在一個合理的自由社會中，報紙編輯應該可以批評政府，這是言論自由的基石。 政府否認這些指控，強調香港的司法獨立性和法治未有惡化。 Controversy Over Judicial Independence in Hong Kong Former top court judge Lord Jonathan Sumption criticized the Hong Kong Judiciary for being "too partial" to the authorities. In a recent podcast, he noted that recent cases suggest the Judiciary is kowtowing to the government, especially with 14 out of 16 pro-democracy figures convicted in the 47 democrats case. Sumption also commented on the Stand News sedition verdict, arguing that newspaper editors should be free to criticize the government, a fundamental aspect of free speech. The government denies these claims, insisting on the independence of Hong Kong's judiciary and that the rule of law has not deteriorated. #香港#JudicialIndependence#人權#HumanRights#言論自由#FreeSpeech#法治#RuleOfLaw#政治迫害#PoliticalPersecution https://hongkongfp.com/2024/10/22/hong-kongs-courts-are-independent-govt-says-after-ex-top-court-judge-says-judiciary-too-partial-to-authorities/
