More than 80% of people convicted under Hong Kong’s National Security Law (NSL) have been wrongly criminalized and should never have been charged in the first place, according to new research by Amnesty International published on the fifth anniversary of the law being enacted.
The organization’s analysis of 255 individuals targeted under national security legislation in Hong Kong since 30 June 2020 also showed that bail was denied in almost 90% of cases where charges were brought, and that those denied bail were forced to spend an average of 11 months in detention before facing trial.
I notice it’s always the same vague term of “human rights abuses” when liberals breathlessly talk about “the CCP”. Is there any reason you can’t be specific, like how communists are specific about governments and policies we don’t like? Like I get that the idea is to imply that there are just tooo many to name but that trick wears thin when you can never actually name them. You’ll notice nobody here is talking about the zionist entity’s “human rights abuses”, we talk about it’s ethnic cleansing and genocide. I live in the country with the world’s biggest population of prison slaves, so I just say that. So please, what do you actually mean by “human rights abuses”?
