OTTAWA — Canada's former top judge is ending her term on a high-level Hong Kong court, saying she has faith in democracy in the territory.
Beijing has recently been cracking down on democracy in the territory, which is a former British colony that has laws meant to allow more freedom of expression. In a statement, McLachlin says she will end her term as scheduled in late July, noting she is now 80 years old. Beijing has gradually repealed freedoms in Hong Kong, including by introducing national-security laws that ban protests critical of the Communist government.
