Hong Kong Makes First Arrests Under New Security Law

Hong Kong has made its first arrests under a new security law, detaining six people, including activist Chow Hang Tung, for social media posts allegedly inciting hatred against Beijing. The arrests, linked to the Tiananmen Square anniversary, could result in up to seven years in prison. The law, expanding on the 2020 national security law, has raised concerns about further erosion of civil liberties. Amnesty International condemned the arrests as an attempt to suppress peaceful commemoration of the Tiananmen crackdown.
