The new National Security Law will effectively destroy basic freedoms in Hong Kong. It will criminalize “subversion,” “secession,” and “colluding with foreign political forces,” thereby potentially making it a crime for people to even brief foreign Parliamentarians or foreign human rights groups or media, denying the right to protest, threatening press freedom and religious freedom. and certainly making any peaceful discussion of “independence” for Hong Kong a criminal offence.
