Apple Daily: US Congress Is Concerned About Article 23 Legislation
(Clearwisdom.net)
Apple Daily reported on April 17 that the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law continues to receive worldwide attention. The U.S. Department of State recently submitted to Congress a report on Hong Kong. The debate over the Article 23 legislation is mentioned in the report, which also refers to people's concerns that Article 23 may affect the freedom of Hong Kong citizens. The report points out that even though Hong Kong still respects the freedom to enter and leave Hong Kong, last June, 90 Falun Gong practitioners were denied entrance to Hong Kong. Wu Hongda, a political dissident, was also not allowed to enter Hong Kong last April.
