Both cited an inability to go forward in the changed atmosphere in the city created by the national security law. Chief Executive Carrie Lam dismissed concerns that the disbandment of the CHRF heralded a loss of freedom in the city, saying that many of the city's civil groups and individuals had "wilfully touched these red lines in the past", and that freedoms enshrined in the Hong Kong Basic Law may have to give way to goals such as national security, public hygiene, or public morals.
