Abstract | In the early 1990s the Legislative Council adopted a Bill of Rights and modified the two restrictive laws. But in early 1997, the Preparatory Committee (PC), Beijing's handover body for Hong Kong, recommended a watering down of the Bill of Rights and the reinstatement of the old ordinances. This article looks at the responses of different parties to the issue. |
