Authorities in Hong Kong are launching a campaign to educate secondary-school students about a draconian national security law that has left most of the city s political opposition behind bars and criminalized public criticism of the authorities.
Students returning to classrooms on Monday as coronavirus restrictions eased were greeted with gifts of paper bookmarks bearing the slogans Uphold national security, and Safeguard our home, as the government launched a suite of newly revised teaching materials claiming that the city s seven million residents still enjoy freedom.
A circular letter to schools, a copy of which was sent to RFA, said schools are responsible for ensuring that their students are educated about the new law, which was imposed by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Hong Kong from July 1, 2020.
