The FDC, which had been established for nearly 20 years, announced its dissolution.

The FDC, which had been established for nearly 20 years, announced its dissolution. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor responded for the first time this morning (17th), saying that groups that have arbitrarily touched the "red line" of national security in the past have chosen to end automatically as the only option. Freedom of demonstration has nothing to do.

She also pointed out that even if the group is automatically dissolved, it is not a "exemption clause." The prosecution department will search for evidence and investigate, and will still prosecute if there is any violation of the law.

Refers to the dissolution of the FDC has nothing to do with freedom

A reporter asked whether the citizens can be guaranteed the freedom of assembly and procession in Hong Kong. Carrie Lam responded that under the Basic Law, freedom of association, assembly, and procession in Hong Kong is still protected, but he emphasized that freedom is not absolute. It is regulated by important purposes, including public health, public ethics, and national security.

Lam Cheng pointed out that Article 4 of the "Hong Kong National Security Act" states that the Hong Kong government will respect and protect human rights and protect citizens' freedom of speech, assembly, and procession under the Basic Law and international conventions in accordance with the law.

She said that some foreign politicians and the media linked the dissolution of individual groups to the suppression of freedom. This was a biased comment and stressed that she would not accept it.

The police have cooperated with the FDC?

Lam Cheng: After the National Security Act, understand the essence

When asked why the police and the Chief Executive himself had maintained a cooperative relationship with the FDC in the past, Lam Cheng said that the statement was "turning over old accounts", describing Hong Kong after the "black storms" of the past two years, which has deeply affected Hong Kong and her. A lesson taught her that without the National Security Law, Hong Kong would become a bridgehead for subverting state power and national security. At the same time, she was able to recognize the nature of organizations that were willing to communicate in the past, such as the Educational Association, which has always allowed them to participate in public undertakings. Why, so it is right now to get back on track.
