Senior Superintendent Li Kwai-wah, Hong Kong Police National Security Department, speaks during a news conference in Hong Kong, Thursday, July 30, 2020. Hong Kong police have made their first major arrests under a new national security law, detaining four young people on suspicion of inciting secession. Police say they arrested three males and one female, aged 16 to 21, at three locations. All are believed to be students.
The 1-month-old law has chilled pro-democracy protesting as activists along with academics and others wonder if their activities could be targeted. The party, which also posted the news of Wednesday's arrests, advocates for independence because it believes full democracy for Hong Kong is impossible under Chinese rule, its Facebook page says.
China, in justifying the new law, says issues such as separatism are a national security concern and, as such, fall under its purview.
Hello? Paging SecPompeo
This is so sad for the people of HK who’ve known freedom & to have it taken away back to oppressive government standards it’s very disheartening for the people of HK.
This is highly bad. No freedom of information here.
