HONG KONG — A Hong Kong group promoting Cantonese language preservation shut down on Monday (Aug 28) after police said an essay it posted online had breached a Beijing-imposed national security law, according to the group's founder.
The Hong Kong Language Learning Association was set up in 2013 to support the preservation of Cantonese and safeguard the"linguistic rights" of Hong Kongers.
According to Mr Chan, Hong Kong's national security police searched his family home on Aug 22 while he was out of town, and demanded the removal of an online article"alleging a violation of the National Security Law". "I have not been told reason it was violating the law," Mr Chan told AFP, adding that officers had searched the flat without a warrant.
