The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force arrested a 22-year-old man in Kowloon on April 28 on suspicion of committing "knowingly publishing publications that had a seditious intention" in contravention of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.

The investigation revealed that the arrested man was suspected of repeatedly publishing posts with seditious intentions on online social platforms, with content provoking hatred, contempt or disaffection against the fundamental system of the state established by the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, inciting any person to attempt to procure the alteration, otherwise than by lawful means, of any matter established in accordance with the law by the Central Authorities in relation to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR); or any matter established in accordance with the law in the HKSAR, and inciting any other person to do an act that does not comply with the law of the HKSAR or that does not obey an order issued under the law of the HKSAR.

The case will be mentioned at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts this afternoon.
