Police's National Security Department today said it has launched an investigation into 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund for suspected contravention of the National Security Law or other Hong Kong laws.

According to Schedule 7 of the Implementation Rules for Article 43 of the National Security Law, Police can apply to the High Court for a production order, requesting relevant people to furnish information in connection with the investigation of offences endangering national security.

The force reminded citizens that breaching the security law is a serious crime and that providing pecuniary or other financial assistance or property to other people for contravention of this law would also constitute an offence.

It urged the public to abide by the law as any person who incites, aids, abets or provides pecuniary or other financial assistance or property to other people for committing offences under the National Security Law may be guilty of an offence.
