Thank you for joining us its the Development Hong KongDemocracy Movement feared the most chinas top legislative body has unanimously approved a National Security law to be imposed in the territory acts of secession subversion terrorism or conclusion with Foreign Forces could face a maximum sentence of life in jail critics say it will be used to stamp out all forms of dissent a protest against the new law have been held in the past few hours it follows months of unrest driven by fear of chinas tightening grip on hong kong the territories appeal as a Major InternationalFinancial Center stems from its. Liberal values and independent course which are now widely perceived to be at risk all be speaking to agent brown who is in hong kong in just a few minutes for more reaction from there but 1st to katrina you in beijing katrina this was a swift and secretive process and were still waiting for the exact details to emerge. Thats right we know as we speak 3 pm local time thats just gone 3 pm here and they joining the Hong Kong Liaison Office here in the capital have called a meeting to all hong kong delegates who are members of the National Peoples congress that is chinas polman so as we understand theyre having a closed door meeting to be told the details of this National Security law still dont know details out in public yet but the beijing office has also announced that tomorrow wednesday morning local time at 10 am local time there will be a press conference so we could expect some more questions and some more details about the nitty gritty what exactly this National Security law entails and we may have to wait whens a morning local time for that but we do know that China Standing Committee its top legislative body held a meeting 9 am local time today choose day to vote on this law and it was unanimously passed shortly after by the 162 members of that body its a hefty law they discussed its a 6 chapters including 66 articles that theyve been discussing since sunday we were told there were 12 hong kong observers taking part in that discussion but so far we are yet to hear the exact details as i mentioned earlier we do know that life imprisonment could be on the cards as one of the penalties and also beijing will have jurisdiction over some of those crimes so extradition to the mainland could also be on the agenda when this law comes to pass now we know that this law was extremely fast tracked here in beijing only 40 days since it was 1st announced during chinas National Peoples congress and thats incredibly quick when you consider morsels in china take years to pass so this really demonstrates beijings determination to stamp out these prodemocracy protests which many attal analysts say were simply too much of a threat to chinas power in Hong Kong Chinas leaders on the other hand say that these protests were true destructive theyre too much of threat to the region stability. To its prosperity that this law mocks a fresh start but of course at the end of the day critics say this will invariably crush freedoms in hong kong but we have to look at the date that this is all happening tomorrow is july the 1st the anniversary of hong kongs handover back from britain to the mainland so this is very symbolic for beijing and theyre making a stand and sending the message that at the end of the day it is beijing who is in charge in hong kong thank you katrina for the moment katrina you in beijing there lets get reaction now out of Hong Kong Adrian brown is there for us adrian of the passing of this noise seems to be having already an effect on the politics of hong kong. Yes thats right an immediate effect in the past few hours joshua wong a well known prodemocracy advocate has announced that he is leaving resigning from the party that he helped to found another member of that party is also resigning now joshua wong believes that hes going to be a target of this stupid law and says it is you know wants to continue his beliefs and practices in private another Musical Party that advocates independence but hong kong has also announced its disbanding the former chief executive of hong kong c why long has announced in a facebook message that he will offer 130000. 00 u. S. Dollars to anybody who can provide they provide evidence of somebody breaking the new National Security law so that gives you a flavor of the mood here in hong kong at the moment as you said in your introduction have been a few minor protests but i think a real test will come on july the 1st when symbolically there is a large mob has happened of course last july the Police Service denied one protest group an application to hold such an event but as i say well know on wednesday whether people are going to be prepared to test that new law because of course the police have said they will arrest anybody who defies that ban which also defies social distancing regulations the government has also announced this social distancing regulations they are going to be extended for a nother 2 weeks so that should ensure i think from the governments perspective the people will stay off the streets but maybe not. Ok adrian thank you for that adrian brown live for us in hong kong.
