On June 30, China passed a sweeping national security law for Hong Kong that has sparked protest, fear and controversy in the semi-autonomous city.
Critics say the law, which in some cases could overide Hong Kong's own legal processes, marks an erosion of the city's precious civil and political freedoms; the Chinese and local governments argue it's necessary to curb unrest and uphold mainland sovereignty.
Everything has unfolded at breakneck speed. Beijing only introduced the proposal a month ago, and the law is expected to go into effect immediately, according to Chinese state media.
