HONG KONG June 28 (China Daily/ANN): The national security law for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will fully protect the human rights and freedoms people currently enjoy in the SAR, legal experts said after more details of the draft law were made public.

In the past few weeks, Hong Kong residents, especially those from nongovernmental organisations, have been discussing the protection of their rights and freedoms under the upcoming law. The National People's Congress, China's top legislature, has pledged to continue its efforts to consult with Hong Kong society during the remaining legislative work.
