The EU, Canada, the US and the UK have expressed grave concern over the draft version of a separate security law for Hong Kong. „We are particularly concerned by Hong Kong authorities’ proposal to adopt broad and vague definitions of ‘state secrets’ and ‘external interference’ that could be used to eliminate dissent through the fear of arrest and detention,“ reads a press statement from the US Department of State in Washington on Wednesday. The UK’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron fears even more human rights violations. The EU member states plan to present their objections to the Hong Kong government by Friday.
