What baffles me is if these lawyers and legal academics in the opposition camp believe we now have corrupt judges who jail people solely for their political beliefs, why remain in the profession?
Kangaroo courts have arrived in Hong Kong. Our once fearlessly independent judges now huddle in secret with top government officials to brainstorm trumped-up charges against our young Davids of democracy who battle the Goliath that is communist China.
Judges churn out prisoners of conscience, making them heroes worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Fiction? No. Fact, as told by The New York Times.
Its opinion page editor Bari Weiss dismissed as bogus the unlawful assembly charges against Joshua Wong Chi-fung, Nathan Law Kwun-chung, and Alex Chow Yong-kang. Bogus? Well, maybe scaling the security fence at government headquarters and inciting others to follow, which left 10 policemen injured, is not illegal assembly but youngsters practising climbing skills.
Perhaps Weiss didn’ t know the trio actually did that, or it could be the venerable paper’s fact-checkers were asleep at the wheel. I suggest they check out the plentiful internet footage of what really happened on September 26,2014.
