Pro-Beijing lawmaker and lawyer Junius Ho is facing a hearing by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in London, over remarks he made in 2017 about killing Hong Kong independence advocates 'without mercy'.
The UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority has laid out the reasons why Ho is facing allegations over his remarks at a rally and on his Facebook page in September that year.
The watchdog said such remarks could be perceived as inciting violence against opponents and could cause offence. The Tribunal will decide whether to remove Ho from the UK register after the hearing.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal adjudicates upon alleged breaches of the rules and regulations applicable to solicitors and their firms. It also adjudicates upon the alleged misconduct of registered foreign lawyers and persons employed by solicitors.
