Henry Tang condemns protest at public forum

The Acting Chief Executive criticised the protesters for “abusing the rights of the forum participants and disrupting what would have been a fair and rational discussion”.

The public forum held at the Science Museum was on arrangements for filling Legislative Council vacancies.

A report by the Information Services Department said, “Protesters forced their way into the venue and threw objects at Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam during the forum.”

Mr Tang, according to the report, said Hong Kong is a civilised society, and people should accept differing opinions and express themselves in a rational, peaceful and legal way.
