Hong Kong (AFP) May 28, 2024 - Hong Kong police arrested six people on Tuesday under the city's new security law for posting messages with seditious intention online on a Facebook page about commemorating Beijing's deadly 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
In 2021, 47 pro-democracy activists were charged under the Beijing-imposed national security law for their involvement in an unofficial primary election. The first verdicts are due this week.
