#Demonstrators in #HongKong have been arrested after a #controversial new "#antiprotest" law imposed by #Beijing has come into effect. Secession, subversion, #terrorism and collusion with #foreign forces are now punishable by a minimum sentence of three years, with the maximum being life-imprisonment. Some #protesters were pepper sprayed by police as they marked the 23rd anniversary of the end of #British rule. The new law has been condemned by some foreign governments and #humanrights groups. One #Chinese official responded to critics by asking: "What's this got to do with you?" Tap the link in our bio for more on what the law means for Hong Kong and the history to the protest movement.
