Lord Avebury and Lord Hylton of the United Kingdom Write to Friends of Falun Gong Concerning Hong Kong's Basic Law Article 23
(Clearwisdom.net) John Dee Esq, European Friends of
Falun Gong October 26, 2002 Dear Mr. Dee, Thank you for your letter of October 18 and enclosures, about
the Hong Kong Government's intentions to introduce an anti-subversion Bill under
Article 23 of the Basic Law. I am not sure that we have any locus in this matter, but I am
seeking to table the following question for written answer: "What discussions they have had with the Government of Hong
Kong about the proposal to introduce anti-subversion legislation under the Basic
Law Article 23; whether they will propose that the Government of Hong Kong
invite independent experts to advise them on the compatibility of the draft
legislation with Hong Kong's international obligations on civil and political
rights, and whether they will request the Government of Hong Kong to allow a
period of consultations with the public on the draft Bill, prior to its
introduction in the legislature". Yours Sincerely, Lord Avebury ************************ John Dee Esq, European Friends of
