Hong Kong police arrested a 37-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman on Wednesday for actions allegedly taken “with seditious intent.” Local media reports identify the arrested individuals as independent journalist Tang Ho-wing and an activist, though authorities have not officially confirmed the names. The arrests are reportedly linked to commemorations of the 2019 incident at Prince Edward MTR station, a site of clashes between police and protesters. Details regarding the specific “seditious” acts remain scarce, however authorities have stated they are investigating. This action raises concerns about press freedom and freedom of expression in Hong Kong. The arrests occur within a broader context of increasing restrictions on political dissent in Hong Kong following the implementation of the national security law.
