Followers from Falun Gong, the spiritual movement banned in mainland China, stage a sit-in protest December 15, 2002 against a controversial anti-subversion law, which rights activists and legal experts worry may roll back civil liberties. A survey revealed on Friday that anxiety over the law has raised public concern over individual and political freedoms in the territory to record levels since the former British colony returned to China's sovereignty.
