According to a report, Hongkong has passed a new security law that authorities say is necessary for stability. Reportedly, article 23 which was passed in under two weeks targets external interference and insurrection; it expands on a national security law earlier imposed by China.
According to the report, the law criminalises secession, subversion and collusion with foreign forces in Hongkong. Reportedly, Hongkong’s leader said article 23 is necessary to guard against ideas about an independent Hongkong.
