An Australian-Chinese dual citizen is being prosecuted under the controversial National Security Law in Hong Kong

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has confirmed that an Australian-Chinese dual citizen has been arrested in Hong Kong and is facing prosecution under the nation’s National Security Law.

The man who has not been identified by name was arrested in January last year under the sweeping legislation.

The man could face life imprisonment if convicted

His arrest comes amid high tensions between Australia and China.

The man was arrested in the same month authorities detained 47 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong under the draconian legislation.”

Hong Kong’s tough stance on Dual Citizenship

The Australian government said on Tuesday that it had been constantly refused to offer consular access to the man, because the Hong Kong government no longer recognises dual citizenship.

But Australian officials plan to attend the man’s future court hearings, with a spokesperson from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade saying “We are in regular contact with the individual’s lawyers and will continue to attend future court hearings”

The National Security Law is aimed at clamping down on political opposition to the Chinese Communist Party in the territory.It dramatically broadened Beijing’s powers to investigate, prosecute and punish suspected criminals in Hong Kong.

The law criminalised secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion with foreign powers.

Those who are found guilty and are convicted of such crimes face sentences up to life in prison.
