Following the common law system introduced into Hong Kong when it became a Crown colony, Hong Kong's criminal procedural law and the underlying principles are very similar to the one in the UK. Like other common law jurisdictions, Hong Kong follows the principle of presumption of innocence. This principle penetrates the whole system of Hong Kong's criminal procedure and criminal law. Viscount Sankey once described this principle as a 'golden thread'. Therefore, knowing this principle is vital for understanding the criminal procedures practised in Hong Kong.

  • 香港作為前英國殖民地,香港法律制度繼承了英國《普通法》的傳統,行使無罪推定原則對待疑犯,即疑犯在未被法庭判處有罪前,必須假設疑犯或者被告均為清白無罪。這原則貫穿香港刑事訴訟程序的每一步驟。英國上議院議員形容此原則為「貫穿英國刑事法的金線」。 (zh)
