Chief Executive CY Leung says the Government has written to the central authorities about the Causeway Bay bookstore incident, to relay Hong Kong people's concern.
Speaking ahead of the Executive Council meeting today, Mr Leung said the letter covered four areas. It enquired how Mainland authorities handle cases involving Hong Kong people breaking Mainland laws and whether Mainland law enforcement agencies had enforced laws in Hong Kong.
The letter questioned whether the current notification mechanism can effectively protect the interests of Hong Kong people being detained on the Mainland and whether the mechanism is transparent.
The letter also discussed whether the handling of the Causeway Bay bookstore incident affected the "one country, two systems" principle and Hong Kong people's rights and freedom enshrined in the Basic Law. They include freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of the individual.
