Security Bureau supports Police's law enforcement actions against organisation that fails to comply with requirement to provide information under Implementation Rules of Hong Kong National Security Law
******************************************************************************************
"Ignoring warnings given, the organisation concerned resolutely insisted on refusing to comply with the Police's requirement to provide information pursuant to Schedule 5 of the Implementation Rules. Hence, the Police have to take law enforcement actions," a spokesman for the Security Bureau said today (September 8).
The Security Bureau reiterates that any law enforcement actions taken by the law enforcement agencies are based on evidence, strictly according to the law, and for the acts of the persons or entities concerned. Schedule 5 of the Implementation Rules has clearly stipulated the consequences of not complying with the relevant submission requirements, i.e. being liable on conviction on indictment to a fine of $100,000 and imprisonment for six months.
