Hong Kong authorities on Tuesday said they plan to amend a film censorship law to forbid screenings of movies deemed contrary to national security.

The proposed changes to Hong Kong’s Film Censorship Ordinance would step up censorship of movies in the city, expanding an ongoing offensive on political dissent that has led to the closure of various pro-democracy organizations and the arrests of dozens of activists.
