Hong Kong national security police charge man over seditious social media posts
Hong Kong national security police have charged a man with publishing seditious material on social media, while court proceedings did not reveal details of his posts.
The force’s national security department said on Friday it had charged a 52-year-old man for posting seditious material with the intent to provoke hatred towards the central Chinese authorities, the Hong Kong government and the judiciary.
The defendant had attended the first hearing on Wednesday afternoon, according to the force’s statement.
