Glorious Hong Kong wrote:Hong Kong security law: Four students arrested for 'inciting secession'Four students have been arrested in Hong Kong in the first police operation to enforce China's new national security law for the territory.
The four were detained for "inciting secession" on social media after the new law began on 1 July, police said.
A pro-independence group said those arrested included its former leader, Tony Chung.
Beijing's controversial new law criminalises subversion, secession and collusion with foreign forces.
Previous arrests under the new law have been made for slogans and banners at protests.
Critics say China's new law erodes Hong Kong's freedoms. But Beijing has dismissed the criticism, saying that the law is necessary to stop the type of pro-democracy protests seen in Hong Kong during much of 2019.
What do we know about the arrests?
Three men and a woman aged between 16 and 21 were arrested on suspicion of organising and inciting secession, police said.
"Our sources and investigation show that the group recently announced on social media to set up [sic] an organisation that advocates Hong Kong independence," said Li Kwai-wah from the new national security unit inside Hong Kong police.
Computers, phones and documents were also seized, he said.
The students were former members of or had links to Studentlocalism, a pro-independence youth group. It was disbanded in June before the new security law came into force and said it would continue to campaign from abroad.
But Mr Li said overseas activity could still be prosecuted.
"If anyone who tells others that he advocates violating the national security law from abroad, even he does that from overseas, we have the jurisdiction to investigate these kind of cases," he said.
Photos posted on social media showed Mr Chung being led away in handcuffs in the district of Yuen Long.
Studentlocalism said Mr Chung was detained at about 20:50 local time (12:50 GMT). Police officers also took away items in several bags, the group said.
Prominent rights activist Joshua Wong said Mr Chung had been followed by police for several days. He said Mr Chung had been arrested for writing a Facebook post on "China's nationalism" and alleged that the detainees' phones had been hacked shortly after their arrest.
"Tonight's arrest will clearly send a chilling effect on HK online speech," Mr Wong tweeted.
I support Hong Kong Independence and I'm typing this from overseas. Arrest me, motherfuckers.

What I have seen many people forgetting or ignoring, though, is the fact that Hong Kong was far from democratic under the UK. The first (very) indirect election to the Hong Kong Legislative Council happened in 1985 (after the Sino-British joint declaration) and the first popular election happened in 1991 for less than two thirds of the seats. The first fully representative and democratic elections happened after an electoral reform in 1994. Those driven by blind nostalgia to support the British rule (which was, however, more tolerant of dissent than the post-2020 HKSAR government) would do well to consider the history.
Edits for spelling.

Make nearly everyone a criminal and you can arrest anyone you do not like and think is a big enough threat. Typical Stalinist stuff.

Police in Hong Kong are seeking the arrest of six pro-democracy activists living in exile in Western countries, including the UK, media reports say.
The group reportedly includes former UK consulate worker Simon Cheng, well-known activist Nathan Law and US citizen Samuel Chu.

The Chinese authorities are full of shit, but there's no reason to be so ideological about a simple visit. If you are just visiting as a tourist -- not going there to protest or proselytize -- China was safe to visit before the coronavirus hit, and it'll probably be safe again when the pandemic blows over. It is not North Korea. You don't have to agree with a government to visit the country.
Right at this moment in Hong Kong might not be the best time and place to visit, but that is no reason to avoid the whole country on a long-term basis.
And would you seriously have a problem visiting South Korea just because of crap that's going on in China? (It is closer than Japan.)
