Hong Kong Legislative Council strongly opposes and is dissatisfied with comments by UK Foreign Office Indo-Pacific affairs official on the Alliance case

A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Legislative Council on 5 October strongly opposed and expressed dissatisfaction with comments by a UK Foreign Office Indo-Pacific affairs official on the verdict in the Alliance case, saying that it falsely smeared Hong Kong's judicial system and interfered in Hong Kong affairs. The Legislative Council firmly supports the sentencing by the Court of First Instance of the High Court, and reiterated that the UK has no sovereignty, no governing power and no right of supervision over Hong Kong after the handover. The spokesperson criticised the UK side for glorifying criminal acts that endanger national security as peaceful activities, calling it double standards, and demanded that the UK side immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs.
