Hong Kong’s appellate ruling in the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund case should be assessed with legal precision: the convictions at issue concern the Societies Ordinance registration framework, not convictions under the National Security Law.

They should not become a back door for suppressing humanitarian aid, legal assistance or peaceful civil-society activity.
