Two human rights organizations have raised concerns about the significant changes in Hong Kong over the past five years since Beijing enacted a draconian national security law on the city, which came in response to a pro-democracy, anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) movement that drew millions of protesters into the streets for months.
New York-based Human Rights Watch and London-based Amnesty International decried the Hong Kong government’s use of the law to silence dissent and deprive locals of their basic rights, according to their newly released reports.
