  • Hong Kong's national security police arrested six individuals under Article 23 for alleged seditious intent. Prominent barrister Chow Hang-tung, already in jail on other charges, was among them. The group allegedly used a Facebook page to incite hatred against the government. The arrests are linked to the June 4 Tiananmen Square anniversary.

Hong Kong police arrested prominent pro-democracy activist Chow Hang-tung on Tuesday as part of a continuing national security crackdown, charging her with "incitement to subversion" under the city's national security law. Chow, a barrister and vice-chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance, which organized annual vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, was detained along with two other former members of the now-disbanded group. The arrests come amid heightened tensions and a broader suppression of dissent in Hong Kong, with authorities intensifying efforts to quash opposition voices and activities, particularly those related to the Tiananmen Square massacre remembrance.
