Amnesty International Exits Hong Kong, Citing National Security Law - The Wall Street Journal

HONG KONG—Amnesty International said it would pull out of Hong Kong by the end of the year, marking one of the most prominent departures of a civil-rights group since China’s imposition of a sweeping new security law on the city.

The London-based rights group said it would close two offices in the city, including a regional base. The group cited the security law, which took effect in June 2020, saying the legislation was vague and being used by authorities to restrict freedom of expression and repress political opposition.
