HONG KONG: Hong Kong is not becoming a 'police state', the city's top law enforcement officer said on Tuesday (Jun 7), days after his officers stamped out the city's once-permitted commemorations

The Chinese business hub is preparing for an upcoming leadership change as well as the 25th anniversary of the city's handover from Britain, for which President Xi Jinping is widely expected to visit.

Amnesty International has accused authorities of"harassment and indiscriminate targeting" for the arrests.of a once annual Tiananmen vigil and jampacked the surrounding area, one of the busiest shopping districts in Hong Kong, with officers. In another interview with the South China Morning Post, Siu"advised" residents they should not watch or download an award-winning documentary about the 2019 protests if they are uncertain about the legal risk.

"If they're not sure whether this would commit [offences under] the national security law, then I would advise them to try to distance themselves from doing such acts," Siu told the Post.
