Critics say it’s being used to silence anyone who speaks out; over 60 civil groups have been forced to close or disband. The majority of the political opposition have either been detained or fled.

For more than two years, the BBC’s Hong Kong correspondent has been filming those affected by the law. Danny Vincent reports.
