The Hong Kong Lawyer Association was re -elected on Wednesday (January 19). Chairman Du Yan, Vice Chairman Mao Le Li and Chen Zhenglong were re -elected.The Council of the Barraier Association agreed that it should not be prohibited from the case of overseas lawyers from participating in the Hong Kong National Security Law case and should maintain flexibility.
According to Hong Kong 01 reports, the Hong Kong Lawyer Association believes that whether it is the two parties, they should not stop overseas lawyers from participating in the Hong Kong National Security Law case, and not each case involves national secrets.To allow overseas lawyers to participate, it can maintain the flexibility of legal representatives, and the perception can be more acceptable to the public.
Du Yan believes that the interpretation of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress retains elasticity, allowing the government to amend the local laws to deal with the situation of overseas lawyers participating in the National Security Law.If it was eventually prohibited from the participation of overseas lawyers, Du Yan said that he was not happy, but he also understood that in other judicial systems, fewer overseas lawyers participated in cases involving national security.
The guild revealed that there is no detail of the regulations of the legal practitioners for the time being. After receiving the revised draft revision, specific opinions will be made.
Earlier, in response to Hong Kong One Media's founder Li Zhiying's approved hiring British Royal Lawyer to defense the national security case, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region asked the National People's Congress Standing Committee to interpret the Hong Kong National Security Law, that is,Overseas lawyers or barristers without local comprehensive practice qualifications can participate in handling the work that endanger national security crimes in any form.Since this case is a special case involving national security, all sectors of Hong Kong's society are highly concerned.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China allows Hong Kong Chief Executives to decide whether foreign lawyers can participate in Li Zhiying and Guoan cases.The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress replied that whether overseas lawyers can participate in national security cases, the Hong Kong courts should obtain a certificate from the Chief Executive's obtained by the Chief Executive.
