Tan Huizhu, deputy director of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee, predicts that the direction of the future amendment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will prohibit overseas lawyers from participating in cases involving the Hong Kong National Security Law.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China on December 30 last year on the interpretation of overseas lawyers to deal with the issue of the Hong Kong National Security Act, and the Hong Kong Government subsequently stated that it will actively study and revise the regulations on legal practitioners.
According to the Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily News on Saturday (January 7), Tan Huizhu, attending the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on the TV show, said that the biggest opportunity for the Hong Kong Government to repair in the future is to prohibit all overseas lawyers from coming to Hong Kong to participate in Hong Kong GuoanAct.
Li Zhiying, the founder of the first -pass media, who triggered this interpretation, was retrial until September this year. Tan Huizhu believed that the repair should also be completed by September.
She said that this interpretation of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress did not target someone, but explained the principle.Policy issues in interpretation do not mean that all overseas lawyers are assumed that they may endanger national security.
In the past, the Hong Kong Government also hired overseas lawyers to handle lawsuits. Tan Huizhu believed that in the future, the Hong Kong Department of Justice will no longer invite foreign aid to deal with the Hong Kong National Security Law.She also quoted the Lawyer Association that Hong Kong has enough legal talents to handle the Hong Kong National Security Law case, and Hong Kong citizens must have confidence in this.
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported on the 2nd of this month, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China has already argued whether Li Zhiying can hire foreign lawyers on behalf of him to testify the discussion and interpretation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, but the Hong Kong administrative department still cannot overthrow the Hong Kong Final Audit Court earlier from law.Timothy Owen, a British Royal Lawyer, has no intention to do so for Li Zhiying's defense.
Therefore, Li Jiachao, the chairman of the Hong Kong Chief Executive and the Chairman of the National Security Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will recently hold a statement of the National Security Commission to revise the regulations of the legal practitioners to formulate a framework to resolve the above disputes.According to the amendments to the law, overseas lawyers without Hong Kong's comprehensive practice qualifications will no longer be eligible to apply for a temporary license to participate in the Hong Kong National Security Law case.
