NewzHong Kong police have arrested independent journalist Tang Ho-wing and activist Lee Ying-chi on suspicion of committing seditious acts. The arrests were conducted under legislation enacted following the widespread and occasionally violent protests that occurred in the territory in 2019.
The detention of the pair marks a continuation of the use of post-2019 security laws to target individuals for alleged sedition. These legal measures were introduced by authorities to address the political instability that characterized the 2019 civil unrest.
