Mainland so officially its all said its signed and sealed but when it will exactly be delivered in Hong Kong Well we expect that will happen july the 1st tomorrow on wednesday which is the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from britain back to Mainland China 23 years ago now we know or this afternoon all hong kong delegates to Chinas National Peoples Congress that is chinas palm and took part in meetings that were held forth in hong kong and in beijing and they were given a summary of the law nor details but they were basically told that this law will act as a deterrent for anybody trying to destabilize hong kong and earlier today at 9 am local time on tuesday chinas Standing Committee has voted to pass this law unanimously and we know so far that this is a hefty law it has 6 chapters and 6 articles in it and really this was tremendously fast tracked by beijing only about 40 days after it was 1st announced during Chinas National Peoples Congress which really does demonstrate bei
Investigation now the statement does tread quite carefully it doesnt name the group that these individuals belong to but our sources have told us that all of these 14 members are in fact members of the. Hezbollah which is part of the Popular Mobilization forces and that it was actually their base that was raided now and the other interesting thing that is in this statement it does confirm that these individuals were arrested after obtaining an arrest warrant from the iraqi judicial reduce was not initially cleared and was definitely an order from the Prime Minister to carry out this raid but then subsequently we saw dozens of armed fighters arrive in the 45 green zone and protest against the detention of those individuals claiming that it was unlawful that there were no arrest warrants and that in fact that iraq account to secure Counterterrorism Forces had illegally raided a base that belongs to the Iraqi Security forces so this statement does confirm that there was an arrest warrant
