"Lawmakers in Hong Kong passed new security legislation on March 19, 2024,
handing authorities in the semi-autonomous city-state further power to clamp
down on dissent.
The law, under Article 23, has been decades in the making but was resisted for
a long time by protesters who feared the legislation’s effect on civil
liberties in Hong Kong, a special administrative region in China that has
become increasingly under the thumb of Beijing.
To explain what the adoption of Article 23, which is set to be signed into law
on March 23, 2024, means for the future of Hong Kong,
The Conversation turned
to Michael C. Davis, a law professor who taught constitutional law and human
rights in Hong Kong for more than 30 years, most recently at the University of
Hong Kong, and is the author of “Freedom Undone: The Assault on Liberal Values
in Hong Kong.”"
