Fifth anniversary of 709 Crackdown puts Hong Kong national security law in the spotlight, Chinese and Hong Kong lawyers concerned about future "Hong Kong version 709"

(8 Jul) The fifth anniversary of the "709 Crackdown" in mainland China is approaching. Currently in political asylum in the US, Chinese human rights lawyer, Chen Jiangang, had handled the cases of Xie Yang, Li Heping, Wang Quanzhang and Jiang Tianyong in the 709 incident. Chen was prohibited from leaving China until last year when he was threatened for handling the case of Zhou Yongkang's daughter-in-law, Fiona Huang. He and his family fled to the US that same year in July. Chen pointed out that the Hong Kong national security law should not be viewed from a legal perspective as it is intrinsically not a law. Rather, it represents that "the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can openly push their authority on Hong Kong. This is in their nature."

//the implementation of the Hong Kong national security law was like "sticking a knife" into more than 100 years of Common Law practice and changing it beyond recognition.

//self-censorship is already occurring in Hong Kong. He is concerned that a "'Hong Kong version' of 709 Crackdown may follow."


//under President Xi Jinping, the Administrative Procedure Law and the State Compensation Law were left stranded.

//During the pandemic, the CCP tightly monitored the family members of those deceased from the virus, "If five or more family members of the deceased interacted with each other, they had to be caught."

More oppression, from jailing to removing licenses, CCP hushed everyone who oppose them.

US urged Beijing to reinstate the qualifications of two lawyers in the Hong Kong 12 case and stop suppressing Taiwan

US State Department spokesperson Ned Price indicated on Tuesday (2 Feb), that the Biden administration is in no hurry to engage with China, and said it would do so once it was in “lockstep” with its allies and partners, only then there will be engagement in several areas with China. He also said the US government is deeply concerned by China's attempts to disbar lawyers appointed by families in “12 Hongkongers’ case”, urged Beijing to respect human rights. In addition, he said China should cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure against Taiwan

Ned Price said on Twitter, that the United States is “deeply concerned by China's attempts to disbar and harass human rights lawyers Lu Siwei and Ren Quanniu for representing the Hong Kong 12. We urge Beijing to respect human rights and the rule of law and to reinstate their legal credentials at once.”

Follow from previous post about hostage diplomacy — another example of how CCP China imprison citizens from other countries WITHOUT GOOD CAUSES.

Foreign diplomats, including the charge d'affaires of the Canadian embassy in China, were denied entry to the “transparent” trial; which was a BREACH OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Both US and Canada are “deeply concerned” and say it’s “unacceptable”.

Dear New Zealanders, #CCP’s justice system does the opposite of justice. 12 #HongKongers were abducted and detained for almost a year before they were taken to court for a closed trial. Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were held for 2 years as pawns for #hostagediplomacy. Protect yourselves, don’t let your people be subjected to that kind of danger and your country a loophole for ccp to manipulate!

Over & over, we see democratic countries following #CCP's agenda and support their #HumanRightsViolations. Now, people are arrested because of their race & political stands. This is a political arrest that is racist, violate #humanright & undermine #freedomofspeech. This is wrong in multiple levels. The issue has become more than just about #BoycottBeijingOlympics. But it's about #CCP destroying the #ruleoflaw in other countries.

The panel host was totally mindf**ked after hearing Lord Neuberger , and so is anyone sane.

Imagine a judge in the Court of Final Appeal saying that the rule of law in #China works very well, and the government is well-received by the people - does give you confidence in this city's judicial system eh?
