    Hong Kong’s top court rejects challenge to law banning calls for election boycotts

    Hong Kong’s top court dismissed a legal challenge against a law prohibiting calls to boycott the city’s 'patriots-only' elections, ruling the prohibition is necessary to counter 'organised campaigns' undermining the establishment following the national security law. The Court of Final Appeal judges unanimously decided criminalising incitement to undermine elections is essential for Beijing’s objective of ensuring stability.
