Dear Reader,
One of the values that Webb-site.com holds dear is freedom of speech. So when we heard that the Law Society of Hong Kong's official journal had U-turned on publishing an article they had commissioned, we felt obliged to step in and bring it to you directly, with the author's consent. Self-censorship is a slippery slope down which Hong Kong must not slide.
NEW ARTICLE
Is Tibet entitled to
self-determination?
This is the article by Senior Counsel Paul Harris originally commissioned by
Hong Kong
Lawyer, the journal of the Law Society, the Editorial Board of which
approved, but then U-turned and decided not to publish. In the interests of
freedom of speech and debate that are cornerstones of HK's success,
Webb-site.com is publishing it instead. (26-Apr-08)
