UK Judges Resign from Hong Kong's Top Court
ai generated text
The Court of Final Appeal in Hong Kong has seen the resignation of two British judges, Lawrence Collins and Jonathan Sumption. Both judges served as non-permanent members of the court, which is the highest judicial authority in the city. The resignations come amidst concerns over the political situation in Hong Kong, with one judge citing the "political situation" as a reason for his departure.
Hong Kong has transitioned from chaos to order. That did not change the human rights and freedoms enjoyed by citizens in accordance with the law. Nor did it change the courts' exercise of independent judicial power, free from any interference.
