The Department of Justice earlier hired the British Queen’s Counsel David Perry to come to Hong Kong to act as the main prosecutors in the case of illegal assembly by the founder of One Media, Li Zhiying, and the founding chairman of the Democratic Party, Martin Li, in August of the previous year. David Perry "only profit is a figure."
The Department of Justice issued a statement today (20) stating that there is constant pressure and criticism from the British society. The Department of Justice has decided to appoint another lawyer to handle the case as scheduled. It also criticized the criticism from the British society, which is one-sidedly confused with the "Hong Kong National Security Act" .
When meeting with reporters, Secretary of Justice Zheng Ruohua said that a local lawyer has been hired to handle the case and he will not disclose the identity of the other party.
She pointed out that there were many criticisms and attacks from different British media, which were very unfair, and denied that they underestimated social attention. "We are surprised that even a famous Queen's Barrister came to Hong Kong to accept the case, which would cause many unfair and biased attacks. ?"
She emphasized that the Department of Justice will resolutely resist pressure, saying that as a prosecution department, the choice of lawyers is mainly based on the local area. However, due to the complexity of the case, overseas lawyers may be recruited, but they need to apply to the court. ".
