Man charged for seditious act

Police’s National Security Department today laid a holding charge against a 57-year-old man with one count of doing an act or acts with seditious intention.

The case will be mentioned at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts tomorrow morning.

The man was arrested in Tuen Mun yesterday on suspicion of doing an act or acts with seditious intention, contravening Section 9 and 10 of the Crimes Ordinance.

A police investigation revealed that he was suspected of 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, advocating Hong Kong independence, demanding sanctions against government officials and inciting the use of violence.

Officers searched his residence with a court warrant and seized electronic communication devices used to publish seditious messages.
