The Secretary for Justice Zheng Ruohua emphasized that the police can make an arrest if they have reasonable doubt, and then the Department of Justice decides whether to prosecute. The Department of Justice will consider all the evidence and make a prosecution decision in accordance with the law and the prosecution code.

Zheng Ruohua pointed out that he is very willing to cooperate with the interpretation of the provisions of the law, but he cannot comment on some specific cases. The government will also promote the "Vision 2030-Focus on the Rule of Law" plan in the future to do civic education.
