Lee says people should know 4 offenses of national security law |
The Hong Kong government is warning people not to do something on "that special day" unless they want to violate the national security law.
"That special day"? June 4 perhaps?
A reporter asked Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu if the government could give a clear answer as to whether people could mourn individually in public on June 4.
His answer?
It is incorrect to say that the Hong Kong national security law is not clearly defined as regards offenses. There are four types of offenses that the Hong Kong national security law covers, and all the ingredients of the offenses are clearly spelled out in the law itself. So it will be up to the individual to really look at the different elements of the offense, which are clearly stated.So it is unfounded to make accusation against the Hong Kong national security law. In actual fact, cases that are heard in court will also be judging the case in accordance with the law, which will also let the public understand the ingredients of the law.In regard to any activities that take place in Hong Kong, the law enforcement agencies, particularly the police, will deal with them in accordance with the law, and all the applicable laws in Hong Kong will apply of course.An individual has to act in accordance with the law, any activity that contradicts the law, of course, the police will have to take action. And police will take action, resolutely, particularly in regard to public order activities. So everybody should act in accordance with law and think of what they do so as to be ready to face the consequences.
Why the word salad, John? Just say it -- Don't do anything unless you want to get arrested!
And what's with using the word "ingredient"? Makes the national security law sound like a recipe!
John Lee is a dim bulb of a man. As we can all so clearly see from the nonsense coming out of his mouth. But these are the precise type of people that dictatorships need to managed a police state. And, sadly, that is what Hong Kong has become.
