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/
