Emily Lau talks to RTHK's Timmy Sung
The Democratic Party said it will ask a United Nations committee to question the Hong Kong government about the use of tear gas at the start of last year's Occupy protests, when the committee looks at the SAR's implementation of the convention against torture next week.
The chairwoman of the party, Emily Lau, will fly to Geneva to express concerns over what she says is the government's "feeble" and "haphazard" attempts to implement the convention.
But she told RTHK's Timmy Sung she doesn't expect the SAR officials present to be very forthcoming with their answers.
The police fired 87 tear gas cells against crowds who flooded onto Harcourt Road in Admiralty in support of student protesters on September 28 last year.
