Lawyers in Hong Kong took to the streets to defend an important facet of the rule of law: Judicial independence. If judges have to be standing with the government and form part of the government [as the white paper suggests], this would be totally contrary to the rule of law - Audrey Eu Yuet-mee, a former president of the Bar Association We want to send a very clear message to the Central People’s Government: Don’t interfere, don’t damage the rule of law; it is too important for Hong Kong - Dennis Kwok Wing-hang, legislator for the legal sector Lawyers are marching because we see the white paper as an attempt to rewrite the Basic Law by giving our judges political missions - which are not acceptable at all - Alan Leong Kah-kit, senior counsel and Civic Party chairman
