Stanley Chan

Stanley Chan is a judge in Hong Kong who gained notoriety for presiding over politically sensitive cases, including those involving pro-democracy activists. His recent ruling sentenced former pro-democratic lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting and others to prison in connection with the 2019 Yuen Long attack, a controversial incident that sparked widespread protests and criticism of law enforcement. Chan's decisions have drawn scrutiny amid growing concerns about judicial independence and the rule of law in Hong Kong following the implementation of the national security law.
