HONG KONG, Jan 18 (Reuters): Former Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui has renewed his criticism of HSBC for freezing his local bank accounts even after the global bank's chief executive, Noel Quinn, wrote to him to explain the circumstances.

The rare letter comes against the backdrop of anti-government protests in Hong Kong that left some branches of the London-headquartered bank vandalised in its biggest market during rallies last year.
