A spokesperson for the Liaison Office said: "We have noticed that for some time now, some foreign governments and some politicians have openly interfered in the trial of Hong Kong's national security cases, threatening to impose sanctions on prosecutors and judges. The gross interference is a wanton trampling of the principles and spirit of the rule of law. We strongly condemn and firmly oppose this."

The spokesperson quoted outside opinions as saying: "It is rare to allow foreign lawyers without local comprehensive qualifications to participate in the defense of "collusion with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security". It not only opens the door for foreign intervention, but also damages The professional reputation of local lawyers and the image of the rule of law in Hong Kong.”

The spokesperson emphasized that the "Hong Kong National Security Law" is a national law, and the judiciary has the statutory responsibility to "effectively prevent, stop and punish acts and activities that endanger national security."
