摘　　要：表达自由权是《香港特别行政区基本法》所确认的公民基本权利之一。该权利在香港特别行政区的司法实践中表现出与美国宪法上的表达自由权很强的可比性:香港特别行政区终审法院与美国联邦最高法院所秉承的表达自由基本理论以及所适用的法律解释方法和司法审查标准等都极为相似;与此同时,在个案处理上,两个法院又结合各自不同的社会背景保持了必要的差异性。香港特别行政区终审法院在基本法的框架下已经初步形成了比较鲜明和稳固的表达自由权的法理。The freedom of expression is granted in the Basic Law of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People＇s Republic of China as one of the fundamental civil rights for citizens.The judicial protection of such freedom in Hong Kong has great comparability with that in the U.S.Constitution.The Court of Final Appeal which is the highest court in Hong Kong and the U.S.Federal Supreme Court share so many similarities regarding to basic theories on the freedom of expression,the methods of interpretation of law and criteria of judicial review.Meanwhile,different social backgrounds in each jurisdiction cause necessary differences in specific cases which are prudently processed by both sides of courts.The primary distinct and sound framework of the jurisprudence for freedom of expression under the Basic Law of Hong Kong has been established.
