A former head of Hong Kong’s legislature on Wednesday suggested judicial officials should be fair game for criticism like any public servants, as he defended an attack by a local pro-Beijing politician who labelled five judges “sinners of society”.

But Jasper Tsang Yok-sing conceded any comments should be within the law, and said he would remind Stanley Ng Chau-pei, a local delegate to the national legislature, that his remarks had been inflammatory.
