VOICED : Hong Kong realiza las primeras detenciones bajo la nueva ley de seguridad

Hong Kong has implemented a new National Security Law, leading to the arrest of at least 180 people, including seven under the new regulations. The law aims to curb subversive activities, secession, terrorism, and foreign interference, shifting Hong Kong from a rule of law to a state of fear.
