Hong Kong Arrests Six Under New Security Law Ahead of Tiananmen Anniversary
Hong Kong police have made their first arrests under a new local national security law, detaining six individuals over social media posts deemed seditious just days before the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Among those arrested is Chow Hang-tung, a prominent pro-democracy activist already in custody. The arrests are part of a broader crackdown on dissent, with the new law introducing 39 national security crimes and aligning Hong Kong's legal framework more closely with mainland China's.
