Second Hongkonger charged under Article 23 law in a week over sedition offences


Hong Kong prosecutors have charged a second person in a week under the new domestic national security law, accusing a man of publishing seditious videos on social media to provoke hatred towards central and local authorities.

Au Kin-wai, 58, did not apply for bail when appearing at West Kowloon Court on Friday to face a count of “knowingly publishing publications that had a seditious intention” under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.
