//Hong Kong human rights lawyer Mark Daly expressed concern about what he called "a lack of restraint" in using such laws, some of which were "vaguely drafted... without meaningful input from Hong Kong".
There is "a lack of human rights protections for any sense of balance, particularly freedom of speech," he told the BBC.
Rights groups say that the judgment has a chilling effect on Hong Kong society.
Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific regional director Yamini Mishra said that convicting someone for using a "widely-used political slogan is a violation of international law, under which expression must not be criminalised unless it poses a concrete threat.
"The conviction of Tong Ying-kit is a significant and ominous moment for human rights in Hong Kong."//

chilling effect 在 Goodbye HK, Hello UK Facebook 的精選貼文
講還講,竟然順手抽擊聯合國人權理事會
今日英國外交大臣响聯合國人權委員會發言,水蛇春咁長要求處理國際人權問題,由白羅斯、緬甸、俄羅斯、香港數到中國,連人權理事會本身都唔放過,
"But, like any institution, we know the Council is not perfect. Some members do not meet the human rights standards we vow to uphold. And the Council’s agenda does not consistently reflect where the most pressing human rights issues are."
(可惜,就好似其他組織一樣,呢個理事會並唔完美。甚至有啲會員國本身嘅人權狀態,連承諾咗嘅標準都未達到,而理事會嘅議程更反影唔到最急切嘅人權問題。)
"UN experts and NGOs concerned about the deteriorating human rights situation that we see in China. No one can ignore the evidence anymore.
In Hong Kong, the rights of the people are being systematically violated. The National Security Law is a clear breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and is having a chilling effect on personal freedoms. Free and fair legislative elections must take place, with a range of opposition voices allowed to take part."
