4 Hong Kong youths arrested under new security law

Hong Kong police have made their first major arrests under a new national security law, detaining four young people Wednesday on suspicion of inciting secession. Police said the group had made comments on social media since the law took effect that urged independence for Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous Chinese territory. “They say they want to establish a Hong Kong republic, and that they will unreservedly fight for it,” said Li Kwai-wah, senior superintendent of a newly formed unit to enforce the security law.
