The Legislative Council says the law aims to protect national security, but critics fear the new legislation will further erode civil liberties.
Hong Kong's parliament has unanimously passed a new security law which grants the government more power to quash dissent. The new legislation threatens sentences of up to life in prison for offences including treason and insurrection, as well as stringent penalties for other offences such as sabotage, external interference and theft of state secrets. Hong Kong's Legislative Council, which is packed with Beijing loyalists, says the new law aims to protect national security.
'I urge the Hong Kong authorities to respect the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Basic Law, uphold its high degree of autonomy and the rule of law and act in accordance with its international commitments and legal obligations.' Opposition silenced Hong Kong's legislature passed the Safeguarding National Security Bill during a special session on Tuesday.
