Student Localism, which claims to exist only as an overseas group now, says that its former Hong Kong convenor Tony Chung Hon-lam has been arrested on suspicion of inciting others to commit secession, an offence under the national security law.
Activist Fleco Mo Kai-hong, in a post on Facebook, says Tony Chung of the now disbanded Studentlocalism group has been arrested for violating the state security law. Few details at the moment, no official announcement, seems like it will be a developing story through the night.
And so it begins.
Beijing Secret Police are now arresting people under the nefarious "National Security Law".
