Man arrested for seditious act

Police’s National Security Department today arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of doing an act or acts with seditious intention, contravening sections 9 and 10 of the Crimes Ordinance.

He was apprehended for repeatedly publishing posts with seditious intention on social platforms, with content provoking hatred towards the central authorities and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, demanding sanctions against government officials and inciting the use of violence.

Police conducted searches at his residence with a court warrant and seized some electronic communication devices used to publish seditious messages.

Doing an act or acts with seditious intention is a serious crime, liable to imprisonment for two years on the first conviction.
