HONG KONG: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government on Saturday (May 17) strongly condemned certain US senators who requested a review, through a so-called "bill," of including a number of judges, and prosecutors of the Department of Justice of the HKSAR government, in a so-called list of "sanctions" in an attempt to intimidate the HKSAR personnel concerned who safeguard national security.

The HKSAR despises any so-called "sanctions" and shall never be intimidated, a HKSAR government spokesperson said, affirming that it shall continue to resolutely discharge the responsibility of safeguarding national security.
