Hong Kong leader reassures on national security legislation

HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she will not select judges to preside over cases brought under the city’s new security law, an apparent attempt to assuage concerns about the controversial legislation.

“When one day there is national security cases, the responsibility to assign which judge on that list to handle a case still lies on the judiciary of Hong Kong,” Lam told reporters on Tuesday. “The Executive is not responsible for that.” China says the national security law, which is expected to be passed next week, will target only a small group of troublemakers as it tackles separatism, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference in Hong Kong.

Critics have also raised concerns that the law will exclude foreign judges, commonly used in Hong Kong, from presiding over national security cases. The fear is that could leave judges more favourable to Beijing to handle those cases.
