The United Nations' top human rights official has expressed concern after Hong Kong lawmakers approved a controversial new national security law.

The legislation is an extension of an existing law passed in 2020. It gives the government greater powers to suppress dissent, mirroring laws in mainland China. It was a demand of China's communist government in Beijing which has been increasing its authority over Hong Kong.

For more on this, we talk to Nathan Law. He is a former Hong Kong lawmaker and activist, now in exile in London.
