HONG KONG The Department of Justice would never allow interference with the judicial independence in Hong Kong, said Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government Teresa Cheng. Cheng was responding as there have been some acts or comments against the judiciary and even judicial personnel in Hong Kong. Some of the recent acts or remarks directed against the judiciary and even judicial officers in Hong Kong have reached the level of intimidation, while some have unreasonably demanded immediate release of defendants or withdrawal of charges. In response, Cheng said such remarks will only serve a futile purpose if they are intended to influence the judiciary in conducting trials and prosecutions. (Hong Kong-Judiciary-Interference)
