The Falun Gong has expressed [concerns] that the proposed anti-subversion laws will
be used as a tool to suppress organizations which aren't favored by the SAR
[special administrative region] and central governments. Belinda Lloyd
reports. [Lloyd] Speaking before a joint meeting of the Legislative Council's security
and legal services panels, the director for the Hong Kong Association of Falun
Dafa, Hui Kwok-hung, said the administration was following the footsteps of
the central government [...]. He expressed [concerns] that the passing of
anti-subversion laws would allow the SAR government to use national security
as an excuse to get rid of the Falun Gong and other groups that aren't to
their liking. Mr. Hui also warned that this would introduce an element of arbitrariness into
Hong Kong's legal system, which would erode the principle of one country, two
systems.
