HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor warned on Monday (July 13) that a 'primary election' organised by the opposition camp might have violated the newly enacted National Security Law.

Her comment added to warnings from local authorities that the straw election over the weekend to pick candidates for the September Legislative Council polls was illegal.
