A government spokesman stressed that “the injunction complements existing laws and serves to clarify to members of the public that the acts mentioned above may constitute criminal offenses, and they should not take chances and attempt to break the law”.
The SAR government respects and values the rights and freedoms protected by the Basic Law, but freedom of speech is not absolute, the spokesman added.
In order to safeguard national security, the application is necessary, reasonable and legal, meeting the requirements of the relevant human rights legislation and being complementary to the existing law, the spokesman said.
