๐ŸŒŸExploring Hong Kongโ€™s Judicial Legacy with Dr. Christopher Munn ๐ŸŒŸ

Last Fridayโ€™s Tai Kwun Conversations focused on the history of capital punishment in Hong Kong, led by Dr. Christopher Munn, the author of ๐™‹๐™š๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™€๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ง๐™š: ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ก ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™–๐™ก๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™–๐™ก ๐™ƒ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™†๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ.

Dr. Munn examined the process of capital justiceโ€”from preliminary hearings to inquests into executed criminalsโ€”and highlighted the people and practices involved. Drawing from his latest book, the conversation provided a fascinating insight into this pivotal aspect of Hong Kongโ€™s colonial history.

We would like to extend our special thanks to Tai Kwun for hosting this sold-out event and to Professor John Carroll for moderating the discussion. We are grateful to everyone who joined us for this thought-provoking evening.

Stay tuned for more events and publicationsโ€”we canโ€™t wait to share more stories with you!
