Hong Kong Media: ＂Contracted by Hong Kong＂ ignores the rule of law and politicians

Source: Hong Kong Ming Pao Agency Review

A member of the United States Congress called for sanctions to sanction 29 judges in Hong Kong, saying that they have participated in the national security case, including Zhang Junneng, the chief judge of the Court of Final Appeal.

The Chinese and American struggles are fierce, and the politicians of Washington are "curbing China with Hong Kong", and political operations have emerged endlessly. A series of criticisms reported by the Congress committee, such as the national security cases, have not set up a jury to "damage justice", etc.It is clear that the committee wants to scare other judicial judges in the jurisdiction of judicial regions, but it is clear that American politicians attempts to interfere with the independent operation of Hong Kong judicial institutions and must strongly condemn it.In the past two years, Hong Kong's political environment has changed, and adhering to the rule of law is to maintain the uniqueness of Hong Kong.Former Chief Justice of the Australian Court of Australia, Qixianyi, was a very judge of the Final Appeal of the SAR. Many overseas judges also agreed to renew their renewal, highlighting Hong Kong's judicial independence, and still received recognition and support from the international legal community.

The Congress Committee requested the name of the judges of the Sanctions of the Council of Sanctions

This is the first time that the US Congress politicians demand sanctions against Hong Kong judicial personnel.In May last year, seven US Congress members jointly sent a letter to the president to urge the administrative organs to sanction the Hong Kong National Security Law designated judges and prosecutors; two months later, the US Congress and the Administrative Official China Committee (CECC) issued a report to mention Hong Kong named Hong Kong.More than a dozen criminal prosecution commissioners related to the Guoan Act, and Lin Dingguo, the newly -appointed director of the law, suggested that the United States implements sanctions.This time CECC released a report again, pointing the spearhead to 29 court judges at all levels in Hong Kong's "Believe in the Guoan Case" and urged the US government to consider sanctions.Huo Zhaogang, Chen Zhaokai and Situ respect.The SAR Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Lawyer Association and Lawyer Association issued a statement yesterday, which strongly condemned the United States to threaten to sanction Hong Kong judges.

The judge's sentence to sentence, different people have different views. Some public pays high attention or more sensitive cases. Of course, the response caused by the judgment is also large.The "out of place" remarks caused public discussion, but this is not equal to the unfairness itself.American politicians curb China with Hong Kong and constantly crack down on Hong Kong, and even Hong Kong's judicial systems are not let go.The Court of Final Appeal is an important symbol of the rule of law in Hong Kong. The latest report of CECC points to the Chief Judge and Four Judges of the Final Court. Not only is it unreasonable, it is also a positive attack on the rule of law and judicial independence in Hong Kong.

A major advantage of ordinary law is that the judgment is open and transparent, and the law is clear.The preliminary selection of the Li Zhiying case and the democratic school is the two most inventory of Guoan cases. The court handles public and transparency.In the case of the lawyer, the lawsuit was hit by the High Court to the end of the court. He could not see the treatment of the court and was intervened in any political intervention. Later, the decision made by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress did not overthrow the final decision.Recently, the SAR government amended and stipulated that overseas lawyers participated in the national security case, and the Chief Executive's Certificate must be obtained first. The threshold for hiring is undoubtedly improved, but it has not been prohibited.Since the anti -repair storm, there have been many changes in Hong Kong, and it has tightened politically, but in this way, it is difficult to establish Hong Kong's no legal governance and judicial independence.

CECC reports on the implementation of the National Security Law and attacked the Hong Kong judges and the judicial system. The point of view is not new. Zhang Junneng also had publicly responded publicly in the past, but American politicians were not interested in discussing legal issues seriously.Take the Guoan case without a jury as an example. First of all, the jury system itself is not a accurate approach to all the seas. In many countries or regions, there are no such arrangements. Second, in reality, some political sensitive cases will beThe jury was interrupted by the jury, but it had the opportunity to affect the fairness of the judgment because of the personal political position of the juror.

Last year's legal opening ceremony, Zhang Junneng talked about the practice of the national security case by the designated judge, emphasizing that the court's fairness would not be arranged as a result. The designated judge would issue a detailed reasons for the judgment. Once the defendant was convicted, the defendant was convicted.Can also appeal.In fact, the designated case of special responsibility judges to deal with specific legal categories is not a rare arrangement. The list of judges in the National Security Case is filmed by the Chief Executive.It is true that the Hong Kong National Security Law joins the threshold of strict bail, but it does not mean that the principle of innocence is rejected.The SAR Government refuted yesterday that some of the general legal judicial jurisdictions, including the United States, and even have mechanisms, which can be detained for a long time on the grounds of national security.U.S. politicians are so concerned about universal values. Before criticizing Hong Kong, maybe people who are still prisoned to be prison in Guantanama prison, have never been prosecuted but have been detained for many years.

Guarding Hong Kong's rule of law and being recognized internationally

The rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's success. The guardian rule of law is to maintain the uniqueness of Hong Kong.After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, British and American politicians continued to slander the rule of law in Hong Kong. Last year, the British Supreme Court and Deputy Dean, and resigned as a judge in the Final Audit Court. London officially applied political pressure. The traces were clearly visible. HoweverNo, many overseas judges have stated that they will not resign. Describing Hong Kong at a critical moment, it is necessary to support the court to maintain the rule of law.Yesterday, the Hong Kong Government announced that there were two more judges who were very judged for 3 years,

In addition, the Chief Executive also appointed the former chief judge of the Australian Court of Australia to the Federal Court of Justice Patrick Keane as the Judge of the Federal Court.Overseas judges who joined the finals.Later this year, the United Nations International Trade Law Commission held a large -scale meeting in Hong Kong, which also voted for the confidence in the rule of law in Hong Kong.Despite the unreasonable attack of American politicians, Hong Kong's judicial independence has been widely affirmed by the international legal community.
