Hong Kong passed a law on Wednesday that made it easier for the government to create new land through reclamation in the city's famed Victoria Harbour. "It's a pity that the level of protection has been reduced," said activist Paul Zimmerman. @AFP story: https://t.co/Cs3Z0eCV8l https://t.co/6wgwghfXfx
After returning home from prison, former Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmaker Claudia Mo was "resting" and would not speak to reporters, her husband Philip Bowring said. "She's well and she's in good spirits... We look forward to being together again," he said at his flat. https://t.co/3lOw5aq7yF
