Paul Harris S.C., an experienced member of the civil law team at Cornwall Street Barristers and former Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar, has produced a powerful article for Counsel magazine describing the breakdown of the rule of law in Hong Kong following the passing by the Chinese government of the Hong Kong National Security Law in 2020.
In particular, Paul calls for the release of his former colleague at the Bar, Chow Hang Tung, and other prisoners of conscience who have been charged with subversion and have spent years in prison awaiting trials arising from their activities promoting human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong.
