Security law views to be reflected

June 2, 2020

Secretary for Security John Lee today said he will reflect the views of different people in Hong Kong to central authorities.

 

Mr Lee will be accompanying Chief Executive Carrie Lam on a trip to Beijing on June 3.

 

There, the Central People’s Government will listen to Mrs Lam’s views on the legislation to be enacted by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee for establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security.

 

Mr Lee said: “There are people who support it and people who do not. Obviously I will reflect what is happening in Hong Kong and what I have heard.

 

“I will do my best to reflect how law enforcement agencies operate under the common law system, how the collection of evidence and presentation of evidence will take place in court and how some common law principles will be applied to the adjudication of the cases.”
