Dubbed as a \u201cpseudo-issue,\u201d \u201cnon-issue,\u201d the Government is now taking seriously the issue of calls for Hong Kong independence after the mainland authorities and local loyalists stepped up attack against what some branded as separatism.<\/p>\n

Justice minister Rimsky Yuen Kwok-keung revealed on Saturday he has asked law enforcement agencies to conduct investigations into the activities of pro-independence groups in four aspects. Specifically, he wants advice on whether those groups have violated companies ordinance, societies ordinance, criminal and other related criminal ordinances.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvocating for independence of Hong Kong is totally contrary to the Basic Law and also contrary to the legal status of Hong Kong,\u201d he said, adding the government would handle the matter seriously.<\/p>\n

Yuen hardened his stance on pro-independence activities on the same day the official People\u2019s Daily\u2019s overseas edition urged the government not to tolerate pro-independence advocacy in a column.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
