===============

Former Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin's retirement from Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal is seen as a relief to those who found her participation embarrassing. Her retirement coincides with China's repression of the pro-democracy movement. The presence of foreign judges in the court has become controversial, with resignations following the implementation of a national security law. Hong Kong's judicial system is now seen as repressive rather than free and democratic. #HongKong #ForeignJudges #JudicialSystem #ProDemocracy...
