Why are four Legislative Council Members disqualified in Hong Kong?
14 At 3 pm on 3 July, the Hong Kong High Court made a judgment on the judicial review case submitted by the Chief Executive and the SAR Government, ruling that the oath of four Legislative Council Members was invalid and four Members were disqualified.

On 201610 June 12, members of the new Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region held an oath ceremony, during which many people tampered with the oath, changed the form of the oath privately, and performed solemnly and insincerely. Among them, Liu Xiaoli read the required oath at an unusually fast speed, and the 80-word oath took nearly 13 minutes. Later, Liu Xiaoli admitted on social networking sites that "reading slowly is to show the falsehood of the oath".

When four Legislative Councillors were sworn in on June 5438+02, 5438+00, the new Legislative Councillors did not feel that they really wanted to be bound by the oath, but changed the form and content of the oath.

20 16 16 The Department of Justice of Hong Kong filed a lawsuit in the High Court of Hong Kong, accusing four people of taking an oath in violation of Article 104 of the Basic Law and the relevant provisions of the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and they were "refusing to take an oath", requesting the court to rule that their oath was invalid and their reserved seats were vacant.

In response to the oath of four people, the Hong Kong High Court held a three-day hearing in early March. This afternoon (14), the judge of the court of first instance, Mr. Ou Qingxiang, ruled that four people were disqualified from hearing the case, and their qualifications could not be counted from the date of taking the oath. Four people attending the Finance Committee meeting of the Legislative Council were immediately asked to leave the meeting room.
