“Mercenary” British silk who was due to work for the HK government in prosecuting some prominent pro-democracy figures has decided against it. To take up the case needed exemptions from the ban on arrivals from the UK and three week quarantine rules.

Part of me thinks a silk should take whatever is put in front of them but they shouldn’t parachute in to act for an authoritarian government if they wouldn’t be permitted to do so for the defence had they asked first.
