It is necessary for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to establish an anti-mask law, a spokesperson said Friday.
Yang Guang, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, said this move will contribute to fighting and containing violent crimes, as well as restoring social order.
The HKSAR government announced Friday that it has invoked the power under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance and passed the Prohibition on Face Covering Regulation.
