Riot police stand guard outside the Legislative Council in Hong Kong on May 27, 2020, ahead of a debate over a law that bans insulting China’s national anthem,Hong Kong police ramped up security around the city’s legislature on Wednesday ahead of a debate over a law that would ban insulting China’s national anthem, the latest measure activists say is chipping away at free speech in the finance hub.

Under a deal agreed with Britain before the city’s return to China, Hong Kong is supposed to be guaranteed certain liberties until 2047 that are denied to those on the mainland. Some unions and student groups made calls for a general strike for Wednesday but it was unclear whether crowds would materialise.Hong Kong’s government is pushing a bill that will criminalise insulting communist China’s “March of the Volunteers” anthem, making it punishable by up to three years in jail.The city’s pro-democracy opposition say the bill is a fresh attempt to criminalise dissent.

Wednesday’s session is the bill’s second reading. A third reading is likely to come next week after which it will become law if approved.
