最近辞任特区终审法院非常任法官的 Jonathan Sumption 岑耀信就香港的法治和独立的司法权发表个人意见,在英国《金融时报》撰文质疑香港国安法限制法官自由度,言论自由及集会自由沦为空谈,并直指香港曾是充满活力、政治多元的社会,现正慢慢步向“极权社会”(注:原句为“Hong Kong, once a vibrant and politically diverse community is slowly becoming a totalitarian state.”)
岑耀信法官文章提及违反香港国安法的“羊村绘本案”,“针对港独歌曲的禁制令”以及“六四守夜活动”等被定罪的案件,是促使“许多法官” 被日益暗淡的政治气氛所吓倒,而忽视了其作为自由捍卫者的传统角色。(注:原句为 “Intimidated or convinced by the darkening political mood, many judges have lost sight of their traditional role as defenders of the liberty of the subject”)
