HK Police National Security unit is set to open multi-platform snitching hotline for “intelligence”
HK police was said to be planning to launch a multi-platform hotline as early as November this year to gather intelligence for enforcement of the National Security Law.
According to government source, informants’ identities will be kept secret and, information will be shared only among national security unit personnel.
Lawmakers reprimanded the hotline arrangement, feared that it could encourage Cultural-Revolution-like purges, turning the city into a silent and lifeless place. The arrangement was compared to an act of ethnic cleansing aimed to silence dissidents, detrimental to economic development in Hong Kong.
