Hong Kong: six years after National Security Law
Human Rights Watch stated in a new report that over the past years Beijing has restructured Hong Kong's governance in a way that reduces accountability and tightens social control. A draconian national security regime is in place, which answers to the Chinese Communist Party leadership rather than Hong Kong's people. The reshaping has fundamentally changed the institutions of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). The new Legislative Council is overwhelmingly comprised of individuals with deep ties to the Chinese state, including 45 people who hold positions in Chinese state-owned enterprises, and numerous former police officers. These changes have been consolidated in the six years since the National Security Law was imposed in June 2020. This law has led to the arrests of protestors, activists and former opposition lawmakers, as well as shutting down numerous pro-democracy news sources. Prominent democracy advocates have been imprisoned, including Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong. (Photo: HKFP)

National security certification power won’t affect appeals: Hong Kong justice chief
As Hong Kong marks the 29th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule on July 1, the South China Morning Post talks to the city’s senior officials about the administration’s achievements so far and what may lie ahead. A new piece of subsidiary legislation that allows Hong Kong’s leader to certify a case as involving national security is unlikely to affect appeals, as the reclassification will not help authorities succeed in legal challenges, the justice chief has said.
