Description
Hong Kong's leader on Tuesday warned the city's largest association of solicitors and the only regulatory body of its type with statutory powers against getting involved in politics, in the latest sign of the government telling professional bodies to toe Beijing's line.
Chief executive Carrie Lam's comments towards the Law Society come as China remoulds Hong Kong in its own image and pursues civil society groups deemed to be politically disloyal or supportive of the city's democracy movement.
Lam also spoke about the tightening of quarantine measures for incoming travellers from 15 overseas countries that have been upgraded from medium-risk to high-risk. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
