Hong Kong reveals Article 23 security law draft with severe penalties
Hong Kong is fast-tracking the legislative process for Article 23, the city’s own national security law, which it is constitutionally bound to enact. The new law covers six offences of treason, insurrection, espionage, theft of state secrets, sabotaging national security and external interference. It is meant to complement the Beijing-imposed National Security Law, which only covers four offences. Deborah Wong reports.
