Five years after the implementation of the Chinese Communist Party’s Hong Kong National Security Law, Amnesty International’s latest research report said that more than 80 percent of convictions made under the law were not justified, and should not have been prosecuted in the first place.

“This research demonstrates that the vast majority of those charged with national security offences have acted entirely within their rights,” Amnesty International’s China Affairs Director Sarah Brooks said. “Other governments should step up and use their influence to urgently press the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities to repeal the law.”
