2 British judges resign from Hong Kong's top court amid concerns over Beijing-imposed national security law.
Two British judges, Lord Jonathan Sumption and Lord Lawrence Collins, have resigned from Hong Kong's top court, the Court of Final Appeal, amid concerns over the city's rule of law under the Beijing-imposed national security law. The departures mean that of the eight remaining overseas judges on Hong Kong's court of final appeal, three are from the UK. Both judges cited the "political situation in Hong Kong" as their reason for resigning.
