A group of 86 non-government organisations issued a joint letter on Wednesday asking Chinese authorities to scrap plans to introduce national security legislation in Hong Kong, saying it threatens basic rights and freedoms.

Beijing last month announced a plan to introduce legislation in Hong Kong to tackle secession, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference. The law could see Chinese security agencies set up bases in the city for the first time. Hong Kong and Beijing officials say the planned law in fact strengthens the governance formula and would only target a small number of “troublemakers” threatening national security, while leaving rights and freedoms intact.

“We are particularly concerned about the law’s impact on Hong Kong, especially its vibrant civil society.”

1.4 billion people support the National Security Law. Which is more representative?

L

Of course they gonna send the letter. The NSL would end their operations.

And how many of those 86 NGOs are not funded by the west one way or another? Why can't the former colonisers stop intervene in Chinas internal affairs Imagine if 86 Chinese NGOs send a letter to the Americans asking for a security law to change....

Thanks all for all NGOs' support🙏The impose of national security law in HK by CCP will end '1country2systems' promise in Joint Declaration💀CCP is lying to Hongkongers

Thanks to these organizations for their support and help to Hong Kong😔🙏

Thank you very much for StandWithHongKong, NGOs It's time for us the whole free world to unite in resisting the crushing of freedom and HumanRights in HK by CCP United we are strong HongKong

The national security law - one of the reason why we ask for independence

A political conspiracy. Want to split China. It's no use. The hope of Hong Kong in the future is peace and stability.

Funny, CIA backed NGO, under the name of human rights, which US is so bad that they had to quit UN human rights commission. Well well well, let’s see what will happen when CIA lost their 70 years Anti Chinese frontier

I hope this passion will never end until our Hong Kong free from China. SanctionChina

Don't be misled by the word National Security. To CCPChina, law is a tool and 'National Security' is a universal excuse to suppress any voices not agreeing with CCP.

The National Security Law was a back door for the ccp to arrest and sentence anyone in HK at will. ccp can be drifting the definition of it based on necessary. It can let anyone violation of the law at any time. CCP_is_terrorist CCPVirus OneCountryTwoSystemsIsDead

CCP is destroying the one country two system and the freedom of expression in Hong Kong. World, let's stand behind HongKongers to fight against the tyranny. Fuck NationalSecurityLaw Fight for freedom, StandWithHongKong! MagnitskyAct HKHRDA

National security is CCP’s stupid excuse to arrest everyone who act or comment against the will of president Xi. The law is forced to HK bypassing the legislative council. This totally destroy HK’s rule of law. StandWithHongKong YouCantStopUs galwanvalleyclash

Independence? wow, keep dreaming.

Stand with Hong Kong, fight for freedom.Oppose the National Security Act,hope other countries support us.

Dictator China maintains dictatorship by detain & restrict citizens from free speech. Surveilance, filter and censor media to control information & propaganda. Threaten private companies to support their devil policies to secure business. MagnitskyAct

Literally only the Nation is secured under the new law, not the peoples

However, the tyranny is goining to ignore it. AntiChinazi NewWestBerlin

shiroihamusan You picked a excellent cover photo to explain the current situation of HK.

Large scale political persecution are very likely to happen in HK is the law is passed. Cannot let it happen!!! StandWithHongKong

Im not gonna boast but HongKong’s one of the crucial places to the west. The west’ll be adversely affected bc of the bill so they won’t stand idly by. Yet condemnation is useless to China. They won’t care unless there’s sanction that harm their interests.

Lol, independent? This is different with democracy.

Every one and every organization will be subjected to this nationalsecuritylaw as ccp will dictate who is convicted of ‘treason’ in their own terms! standwithHK

Everyone knows that the national security law has nothing good to HK. And Carrie Law, the head of HK govt, still claimed that it’s for HK’s own safety.

The security law bypasses the law system in Hong Kong.

The govt is crushing the value of freedom and democracy StandWithHongKong HKer stand strong! HKPoliceBrutality

First of all, thank 86 non-governmental organizations for their support, but I believe that can not play any role, because the evil CCP today after the unveiling of his mask, showing the original very aggressive, non-committed nature,

I believe that the HongKong gov will never listen to the true opinions of society. They will only create fake public opinion and intend to deceive the world. So now I believe that only the strongest response from the international community can make them understand the truth

The world should notice about how HongKongers are being exploited. The NationalSecurityLaw has cracked down the core values of HongKong, liberty and democracy

Thx for standing with Hongkong. The NationalSecurityLaw is destroying 1country2systems and RuleOfLaw in HK. Without common laws jurisdictions, the judicial system is no longer comprehensible to foreign investors. Staying in HK is no longer safe from obscure PRC laws.

Thank you for NGOs which speak up for Hongkongers. It is difficult for them to make a choice to side with conscience today. Hope that more people who embrace freedom and human rights can stand firm together against the rise of CCP totalitarianism. FightForFreedom

DemocraticHK Keep it up . We are with you.

Thank you the NOGs for StandWithHongKong. However, the puppet government must ignore it, the puppet even want to drive out the NGOs in HongKong. NewWestBerlin NationalSecurityLaw onecountrytwosystemsisdead

Enough with Chinese Atrocities. What right does all free nations have to react on anything happening inside China

Succuming to chinazi is never an option

HK and Modi will deal with Xi. Time is up

Really appreciate your conscience.

Appreciate that. StandWithHongKong

Appreciate the support from the signatories. Hong Kongers are concerned about the vaguely defined NationalSecurityLaw because our officials are promoting it without knowing the details. Our fundamental rights are being jeopardized.

This is a good news. Really. More people have eventually realized how dangerous things is Chinazi doing now. StandWithHongKong BoycottChina

Hong Kong independence elements are already too rampant, and must pass the National Security Law as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to collude inside and outside, which will harm the unification of the country.

we all know what NGOs usually do.

HSBC gets veiled rebuke from UK government over Hong KongBritain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab voiced a thinly veiled criticism of HSBC on Monday after the bank backed China's national security law for Hong Kong, contradicting the British government's opposition to it. The lack of freedom under CCP is not only banning you from doing something but also pressuring you for not doing something. The is the price anyone not standing up against CCP has to pay It seems to become a norm that you have to praise CCP if you wanna do business with China. After you've completely become their puppet, they can just do all sorts or dirty manipulation. Stop bowing to authoritarian if you treasure freedom and free market! HSBC show you the cost of keeping silent. StandWithHongKong
