Hong Kong public libraries have placed certain books under review to see whether they"violate the stipulations" of a new national security law that China imposed on the financial hub.
The sweeping legislation, which came into force on Tuesday night at the same time its contents were published, punishes crimes related to secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces, with punishments of up to life in prison. A search for books by young activist Joshua Wong or anti-Beijing politician Tanya Chan on the public libraries website showed the books, including "Unfree Speech," co-authored by Wong, either unavailable or under review.
The day after the law came into effect, one man was arrested for carrying a Hong Kong independence flag.
