Judge Patrick Keane KC has faced intense backlash for his role in Hong Kong's court, especially as other foreign judges have resigned amid concerns over the rule of law.
Sumption expressed that the situation has shifted dramatically for foreign judges in Hong Kong, suggesting their presence no longer serves to uphold the rule of law, given the overwhelming influence of Beijing.
Protesters in Sydney emphasized their support for Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, highlighting their concerns over the treatment of dissidents such as jailed publisher Jimmy Lai.
Keane's recent speech, infused with historical perspectives, coincided with public outcry against his continuing support for a court perceived as undermining judicial independence under authoritarian pressures.
