Elsie Leung was referring to a Reuters report on Tuesday that said foreign judges would not be allowed to sit on national security cases. The report had quoted people familiar with Beijing's plan to impose national security legislation on Hong Kong. A resolution on national security is expected to be passed today by the National People's Congress in Beijing. She also dismissed concerns that foreign judges may have a conflict of interest. On setting up a national security agency in Hong Kong, Leung said matter like this is never dealt with by local police in overseas countries, citing the examples of CIA and FBI in the United States.
