THE government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region yesterday banned the so-called “Hong Kong National Party,” which advocated “Hong Kong independence.”

In exercise of the power conferred on the secretary for security by the Societies Ordinance, “I hereby order that the operation or continued operation of the Hong Kong National Party in Hong Kong be prohibited,” said Lee Ka-chiu, secretary for security of the HKSAR government. But its convenor still kept advocating “Hong Kong independence.”

The moves were condemned by various communities in Hong Kong, and they asked the HKSAR government to deal with the group according to law.
