Article 43 of the #NationalSecurityLaw for #HongKong pertains to foreign governments, as well as #Taiwan & social media. The legislation already deprives #HK people of freedom & basic rights. Now it's going further! Democracies must act together & #StandWithHongKong.

Pro-democratic politicians are holding a primary election in #HongKong today, ahead of the Legislative Council election in Sept. Held for the 1st time, the move is to consolidate support so the pan-democrats can take more seats in the legislature. legco2020.vote4.hk/primaries/stat…
