updated travel advisory
“U.S. citizens may be subjected to prolonged interrogations and extended detention without due process of law,” the advisory added. That was when Beijing imposed a national security law on Hong Kong, criminalizing secession, subversion and collusion with foreign powers. Ms. Williams said Canadians should be aware that under the law, “activities considered as national security violations are broadly and vaguely defined. They could include activities that are not considered illegal in Canada and that occurred outside of Hong Kong.
An executive order creating the new designation came in the wake of the arrest of basketball player Brittney Griner in Russia.
