Hong Kong court rejects first legal challenge to 2024 national security law
Briefly

Ma Chun-man's judicial review of his denial for early release was dismissed as a Hong Kong court found the new national security law's remission rules sufficiently precise and not unfair.
High court judge Alex Lee stated that the decision-making process regarding Ma Chun-man's early release was not procedurally unfair and did not impose additional penalties.
Judge Lee emphasized that the stringent standards set by the new national security law on remission were clear, aligning with efforts to ensure national security in Hong Kong.
Since the national security laws were enacted, 300 arrests have been made, illustrating the law's impact on civil liberties, drawing criticism from the West and human rights organizations.
