HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s security chief said on Friday that police surveillance of communications under the city’s national security law is not subject to rules under the financial hub’s Interception of Communications and Surveillance Ordinance.
John Lee, speaking at an online Legislative Council meeting on security, said the Committee of Safeguarding National Security would have oversight over such surveillance operations.
