Hong Kong (RAE - China) - Government threatens civil servants attending public assemblies

A group of civil servants was planning to organise a public assembly on 2 August 2019 to express their concerns on the amendment of the extradition bill. In response to it, the HKSAR government issued a statement a day before threatening “serious consequences” if the civil servants joined the assembly, which was political in nature in breach of the Civil Service Code regarding political neutrality and total loyalty of the civil servants in serving the chief executive.
