Former High Court Judge Azizul Rahman Suffiad will be Commissioner on Interception of Communications & Surveillance from August 17.

Justice Andrew Chung and Justice Anthony To have been appointed as Panel Judges under the Interception of Communications & Surveillance Ordinance.
 

The ordinance provides a comprehensive statutory framework for regulating the carrying out of interception and covert surveillance by law enforcement agencies to strike a balance between privacy rights and law and order.
 

It specifies there should be three to six Panel Judges to consider applications for authorisations of interception and Type 1 surveillance and for device retrieval warrants.
