security law and national law in Hong Kong downtown area.
On last 22nd, at the opening ceremony of the NPC, this is according to
Chinese government's decision to enact the Hong Kong Security Law to strengthen
national security education for Hong Kong citizens punishing Hong Kong internal
intervention of foreign forces and national division, overthrow of political
power and unison of terrorism.
The Hong Kong Legislative Council reviews national law agendas which
includes the contents of punishing a person who blasphemes the Chinese flag on
27th.
Opposition party of Hong Kong and the Pan-Democratic camp have
decided to step into a strong opposition struggle insisting that these measures
could seriously violate Hong Kong citizens' freedom and human rights.
Accordingly, on the eve, at shopping mall in Hong Kong Chai Wan, Hung Pacheuen
region, there was a protest against the Hong Kong Security Law.

last year. On July 1st, a protest was scheduled to commemorate the return of Hong
Kong's sovereignty.

social distance to prevent the spread of corona19. If you break the rule, up to
25,000 Hong Kong dollars can be fined and imprisoned for six months.

signatures through 2.1 million online signatures and 180,000 street signatures
for Hong Kong Security Law. The number '23' refers to Article 23 of the Basic
