The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force has launched an investigation against 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund for suspected contravention of the Hong Kong National Security Law or other Hong Kong laws. According to Schedule 7 of the Implementation Rules for Article 43 of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the Police could apply to the Court of First Instance of the High Court for a “production order”, requesting relevant persons to furnish relevant information in connection with investigation of offences endangering national security.

     The Police stress that contravention of the Hong Kong National Security Law is a very serious crime, among which providing pecuniary or other financial assistance or property to other persons for contravention of the Hong Kong National Security Law would also constitute an offence. The Police appeal to the public that any person who incites, aids, abets or provides pecuniary or other financial assistance or property to other persons for committing offences under the Hong Kong National Security Law shall be guilty of an offence. The Police urge members of the public to abide by the law.
