Hong Kong demands UK-based rights group shut down website

We will not be silenced,' says CEO after government accuses Hong Kong Watch of endangering China's national security

A UK-based rights group has pledged not to remain silent after Hong Kong's government demanded it shut its website and accused it of endangering China's national security.

While China heavily restricts the internet on the mainland, Hong Kong does not generally censor the web, allowing residents to access sites and content that might be critical of Beijing.
