Canada warns citizens about possible exit bans in Hong Kong
Canada warned its citizens on Thursday (Aug 5) that the Hong Kong authorities can prevent people leaving the city under a new law that has raised fears of Chinese mainland-style exit bans.
The law, granting the immigration chief powers to bar people from boarding planes to and from the city, came into effect on Sunday.
"Under this amendment, individuals, including foreigners, might be unable to leave the territory," Canada's travel advisory Twitter account said.
