The Government has the responsibility to emphasise the rule of law in the wake of recent illegal acts and a large-scale illegal movement, Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen says.
Mr Yuen spoke to reporters before leaving for Sri Lanka to attend the Conference of Asian Attorneys General today.
He hopes the community understands why the Government must stress the importance of the rule of law.
The Department of Justice will follow standard procedures after the Police finish their investigations into the recent Occupy movement protests and submit relevant reports and evidence, he added.
