After nearly a month of trial, the Hong Kong High Court issued a verdict on Friday (May 19) and refused to approve Li Zhiying's judicial review permit from the founder of Hong Kong One Media Group.
According to Ming Pao News Network, Pan Zhaochu, the chief judge of the Hong Kong High Court, made the above judgment on the judicial review of Li Zhiying on Friday morning.
Li Zhiying entered the High Court earlier and asked to announce the decision to announce the approved by the Chinese people's interpretation of the country and the Appeal Tribunal to approve the approved by the British Royal Lawyer Tim Owen.It is required to withdraw the National Security Commission to refer to the decision to hire Owen to constitute the risk of the country's security and the interests of the country's security, and the decision to refuse the Owen work visa in the Immigration Department.Judge Pan Zhaochu opened a trial permit on April 28.The main dispute between the two parties is that the National Security Commission decides that the entry department refuses to approve Owen's work visa. Whether the Hong Kong National Security Law is given the power to the National Security Commission; and whether the Hong Kong court has jurisdiction over the right to judge the National Security Commission.
Li Zhiying believes that the Hong Kong National Security Commission only has the right to judge and decide whether it involves national security issues. It is recommended that the Immigration Department refuses to approve a work visa is overweight and the scope of judicial jurisdiction in the Hong Kong court.
The Department of Justice of Hong Kong believes that according to Article 14 of the National Security Law, the court has no rightThe central government has the final jurisdiction.
Li Zhiying has been arrested by the police for suspected violations of the Hong Kong National Security Law, fraud and illegal assemblies since August 2020, and was sentenced to imprisonment for some charges.He applied for the employment of the British Royal Royal Attorney to Hong Kong earlier to defend himself.
