Hong Kong [China], January 10 (ANI): In another instance of curbing dissent in Hong Kong, police here have invoked the draconian national security law to block a local website dedicated to publishing first-hand accounts of the anti-government protests in 2019 and personal details of officials and pro-Beijing figures.
Sources said the force had started asking internet service providers (ISPs) to halt access to the HKChronicles website citing Article 43 of the law and its implementation rules, reported South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Officers can order ISPs to block access to electronic information deemed likely to constitute a crime endangering national security, and the commissioner of police can authorise officers to do so upon the approval of the secretary of security.
