The National Security Act of the Minato District was recently gazetted and came into force, and there have been related cases. Bar Association Vice Chairman Ye Qiaoqi and Legislative Council Member Tu Jinshen attended a radio show, which meant that the government statement that "recovering the revolution of the Hong Kong era" had Hong Kong's exclusive meaning. Ye Qiaoqi said that the government's interpretation is too broad. This sentence has no background and depends on the case. It is necessary to have action and intent to judge. Instead, ask the article with the slogan on it, how to organize, plan, and commit relevant crimes.

No official English version violates past legislation

Ye Qiaoqi also said that the legislative process lacks transparency and that there is no official English version that violates past legislation. The bilingual Chinese and English languages ​​in Hong Kong are legal languages. Many people in Hong Kong do not understand Chinese and have the opportunity to violate laws and do not know them. It is unfair to them. She questioned how foreign judges and lawyers tried cases and represented citizens without the English version.

Slogans treated as drugs

Canada announced a suspension of its extradition agreement with Hong Kong. Tu Jinshen said that all countries in the world have paid close attention to Hong Kong, and the EU, the United States and Japan have responded. He believes that countries have no confidence in Hong Kong’s legal system, and democratic and advanced places have a consistent attitude. To form a domino effect.

Tu Jinshen doubted whether the police had adequate training in the enforcement of the Minato City National Security Law. The law was gazetted late at night and came into effect, and he believed that "the police do not know what to do when they are law enforcement." He criticized that violation of the Minato City National Security Law does not require violence, violates human rights laws, and does not display items that contain slogans alone. He described the slogans as drugs.

Ye Qiaoqi pointed out that the final interpretation power of the "National Security Act of the Minato District" rests with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and remains to be seen. She believes that the current information regarding the Minato City National Security Law is confusing and the law enforcement is unfair. She pointed out that the legislative provisions should be clear and urge the government to strengthen law enforcement training.
