Australian judge James Allsop will preside over the appeal of pro-democracy leader Lam Cheuk-ting, scheduled for February 12, 2025. This trial is part of ongoing legal proceedings against Lam, who was previously acquitted of disclosing the identity of an officer involved in the Yuen Long mob attack. The Hong Kong government is appealing this acquittal. The involvement of foreign judges in such cases has raised concerns, with discussions around the potential implications of U.S. sanctions on Hong Kong judges, which some believe may lead to Beijing taking over trials. Currently, there are six foreign judges remaining in Hong Kong's judiciary.
