SB launches online virtual exhibition of third anniversary of promulgation of Hong Kong National Security Law (with photos)
5.7.2023

Marking the third anniversary of the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL), the Security Bureau (SB) today (July 5) launched the updated version of the NSL online virtual exhibition with the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) as its virtual background, bringing a new touring experience to visitors. To enhance the understanding of members of the public regarding the legislative background, importance and significance of the NSL, the SB first launched the NSL online virtual exhibition in July 2021, which has registered more than 440 000 visits thus far. The online virtual exhibition of the third anniversary of the promulgation of the NSL is inspired by the HKPM, with new virtual backgrounds embellished with Chinese cultural components in a Chinese-style layout. The various zones of the exhibition provide rich information on the NSL to members of the public, covering the importance of the NSL, the legal regime, enforcement mechanisms, major provisions and effectiveness, the work of the disciplined forces in safeguarding national security, reference materials as well as the winning entries of the "Let's Join Hands in Safeguarding National Security" Programme. The updated version of the exhibition is especially housed in virtual exhibition halls on different floors, unlike the previous version where it was all shown in one large exhibition hall. Visitors can simulate taking the escalators to navigate different floors, or visiting the exhibition halls to view the content, or heading to the viewing deck to enjoy the day and night views of Victoria Harbour, which brings more fun to the visit. Two new mini-games have also been added to the exhibition, allowing visitors, especially the youth, to enhance their understanding of the NSL in a fun way. In addition, print and search functions are enhanced to improve the exhibition's practicability. The exhibition particularly brings together the latest videos and information about the NSL to further enhance people's awareness of safeguarding national security. They include a series of short videos on national security published on social media platforms by the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, as well as a short video series "NSL Chronicles II" produced by Radio Television Hong Kong with the full support of the Department of Justice and the SB, in which government officials, legal experts and academics introduced the provisions of the NSL using various local cases. The winning entries of the School Bulletin Board Design Competition on National Security, National Security Writing Competition and Slogan-cum-Poster Design Competition on National Security of the "2023 Let's Join Hands in Safeguarding National Security" Programme jointly organised by the SB and the Education Bureau are also showcased in the exhibition to commend the winning students, strengthening the atmosphere of national security education in schools. The public is welcome to visit the virtual exhibition website ( nslexhibition.hk ) for a 360-degree experience in learning about the NSL on all fronts, thereby gaining better appreciation of the importance of safeguarding national security and law abidance.
