Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported that the Hong Kong National Security Law (Hong Kong Security Law) has been in full force since last day, and that there have been criticisms of dealing with people who have been arrested in protests against the Hong Kong Security Law.

Hong Kong police arrested 10 men and 4 women, allegedly violating the Hong Kong security law, at a protest site in downtown Hong Kong on the 1st. .

According to Hong Kong law, Hong Kong police can collect DNA samples if the suspect commits a serious crime and the DNA samples are necessary to prove guilty.

As a result, DNA sampling in Hong Kong has only been committed against suspects of felony, such as murder and sexual assault.

The defenders of the arrested protesters reacted strongly.

"DNA sampling has only been applied to people who have committed serious crimes such as sexual assault and drug possession," said Janet Pang, a lawyer who defended three protesters. "We are amazed by the police's behavior."

He said, "The police had all the evidence of the flags and flyers held by the demonstrators, and the police collected all the personal information of the suspect, so why is it necessary to collect DNA samples that are applied to the criminals?"

Security Secretary John Lee said, "If you think the police are helpful in investigating the case, you can take a sample of DNA, which is legal action."

Police in Hong Kong say 10 people arrested for violating the Hong Kong Security Law have been charged with overthrowing the government, and can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The Hong Kong Security Law prohibits and punishes collusion with foreign powers, national division, overthrow of government, and terrorism, and establishes an agency to enforce it in Hong Kong.
