💨 Abstract

Jailed Hong Kong rights lawyer Chow Hang-tung has criticized the city's judges, accusing them of complicity in creating a "police state" under the current government. During an appeal at the Court of Final Appeal, she condemned the judiciary for enabling government abuses and urged the Chief Justice to stop endorsing these actions. Chow was challenging a jail sentence for refusing to provide information on a pro-democracy group.
