Critics say national security law cracking down on offences such as espionage will further erode civil liberties
Hong Kong’s parliament has passed a controversial national security law that critics say will further erode the city’s rights and freedoms and usher in a new era of authoritarianism.
The Safeguarding National Security Law, also known as article 23, creates or amends laws in Hong Kong relating to treason, insurrection, sabotage, external interference, and theft of state secrets and espionage.
