(16) ورغم التدابير التي اتخذتها منطقة هونغ كونغ الإدارية الخاصة لمعالجة مشكلة العنف المنزلي، فلا تزال هناك شواغل بهذا الصدد، منها ما يتعلق بطريقة تناول الشرطة لهذه الحالات وتمويل الخدمات الاجتماعية لمساعدة الضحايا (المواد 2 و23 و24).
(14) The Committee is concerned about the legal duration of police custody, which can be extended to 16 days, an excessively long period which is often exceeded in practice. In addition, the Committee notes with concern that pertinent legislation does not guarantee persons held in police custody access to defence counsel, a doctor or their families. The Committee notes with concern that there is no legal limit to the duration of pretrial detention (articles 7 and 9 of the Covenant).
