A Hong Kong court has postponed the case of two men accused of conspiring to commit terrorist acts under the national security law to October. Ho Chi-hang and Ng Tsz-kit, arrested in December 2023, appeared in court as the process of transferring their case to a higher court is ongoing. The defendants remain detained while the legal proceedings continue. Details regarding the alleged terrorist acts have not been fully disclosed. The case reflects the continued application of the Beijing-imposed national security law in Hong Kong. This law has drawn international criticism over concerns about its impact on freedom and due process. The next hearing is scheduled for October, where further details may emerge.
