JUSTIÇA

mai23 Hong Kong’s government has passed a law that allows authorities to ban foreign lawyers from working on national security cases, completing a months-long effort to block a UK lawyer from defending media mogul and activist Jimmy Lai. The amendment, which was passed unanimously by the Legislative Council on Thursday, gives the chief executive the power to veto any foreign lawyer from working on cases brought under the 2020 National Security Law (NSL). Lai, the founder of now defunct Apple Daily newspaper and   a high profile pro-democracy figure , was first arrested in August 2020. He has since been charged with foreign collusion under the sweeping NSL, after calling for sanctions against Hong Kong and China over their crackdown on the pro-democracy movement. If convicted he could face life in prison. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/11/hong-kong-passes-law-to-limit-work-of-foreign-lawyers-amid-ongoing-jimmy-lai-case ab23 Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was sentenced Mo...

Pequim parabenizou a “realização bem-sucedida” das eleições, dizendo que foram “justas, imparciais, entusiasmadas e ordenadas” https://www.plataformamedia.com/2023/12/15/resultados-das-eleicoes-distritais-convencem-pequim/

resumo do que tem acontecido

jun23 The Hong Kong government, meanwhile, has recently been talking about ‘one country’ in terms of root and branch development. ‘Only with a deep root can leaves thrive’ goes the official slogan. That might be true, but biology also teaches us that it is the leaves that, through photosynthesis, produce the nutrients for the plant to grow. Will Beijing be willing to give Hong Kong the space to grow? Recent experience provides many reasons to be wary.
