A profile of wanted exiled activist Nathan Law, is seen on a noticeboard outside a police station in Hong Kong on June 12.
The United States on June 14 called on Hong Kong officials to “immediately halt their efforts to intimidate and silence dissidents”. Their comments come a day after Anne-Marie Trevelyan, UK minister of state for the Indo-Pacific, called the passport cancellations the “latest regrettable decision from Hong Kong authorities”.
Canada also raised the alarm about the “law’s broad definitions of national security offences” causing enforcement overreach.
