LONDON (Reuters) - A national security law is being used to silence opposition in Hong Kong where media freedom needs to be maintained, a junior British Foreign Office minister said on Monday, after the arrest of media tycoon Jimmy Lai.
“Deeply concerned by arrest of Jimmy Lai & 6 others in #HongKong,” Nigel Adams said on Twitter.
“Media freedom must be upheld. More evidence the National security law being used as pretext to silence opposition.”
