1. Among other important issues, this appeal addresses the effect of s.11 [1] of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance Cap 383 (“HKBORO”) when seen against non-derogable and absolute rights contained in Article 3 of the Bill of Rights [2] (we are concerned only with the aspect of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment). I am in agreement with the judgment of Ribeiro PJ and with the conclusion (on the facts) that the present appeal should be dismissed.
