Asked if she was confident such a complaint could be launched, given Mr Cheng is accusing the Chinese police of torture, the minister said:"There is usually an avenue by which these matters can be aired."
"I am sure when the matter is brought to my attention I will be looking at it and seeing what can be done in so far as it is within the laws of Hong Kong and the jurisdiction of Hong Kong," she said.Pressed on what she personally thought about the allegations of abuse that he has made, she would not be drawn.
"I prefer to hold my opinion until I have the opportunity to collect and analyse whatever information or evidence that I have." Mr Cheng is a trade and investment officer in the Scottish Development International government agency, inside Britain's consulate in Hong Kong.
