	Online NewsHour: Conversation with Emily Lau -- September 11, 1997
		EMILY LAU: It is true that right now we can still exercise free speech, and we can still have protest demonstrations, but even before the takeover, the government has already changed the law giving the power to the commissioner of police to regulate people's right to a public assembly and the right to association.
		EMILY LAU: I will run in the geographical constituencies, which are, of course, restricted to only 20, and the Democratic Party will run, we, the Frontier, will run.
		EMILY LAU: I think so because it's true that these functional constituencies were devised by the British in the 80's, but the Chinese loved them so much they enshrined them in the basic law, our mini constitution.

	The Standard - Lau win 'stirs up a hornet's nest' in pro-Beijing camp - Metro Section
		Lau, who took the committee chair from pro-Beijing lawmaker and incumbent Philip Wong in a secret ballot on Wednesday, said the results not only shocked pro-Beijing lawmakers but also annoyed Tung and Central Government Liaison Office officials.
		It is understood that although Lau could secure support from only 24 pro-democrat lawmakers, last-minute support from five Alliance lawmakers and banking sector lawmaker David Li gave her the key committee post by 30 votes to 28.
		Despite suggestions that Lau is being used by lawmakers to send a message that even a handful of votes can make a critical difference, she said it is clear that "invisible forces'' have been actively interfering in the operation of Legco and mainland officials may be increasingly involved.

		EMILY LAU: I think the Hong Kong people found it very frustrating to have a Chief Executive who acts like a lackey of Beijing, always there to second-guess the wishes of the masters up there and of course the wishes of a few tycoons who helped to put him in to office.
		EMILY LAU: Not at all, in fact, I think we are taking a big retrograde step, because they are managing everything.
		EMILY LAU: Well, a few weeks ago, nobody would've predicted that Mr Tung would step down, so, let's not talk about what is practicable, what is possible.

		Lau won't hazard a guess as to who is behind the attacks but says such incidents have increased since China began flexing its muscles in the city following last year's July 1 protest, which attracted an unprecedented 500,000 marchers and caught Beijing completely off-guard.
		Lau, however, believes part of the problem is closer to home -- although she won't say police are mixed up in the conspiracy, she does feel they are taking too lazy an attitude towards politically motivated crime.
		However, Lau told police her political offices had been attacked 17 times in the past nine years and that in all that time, only one person has been arrested.
