The first person charged under HK security law was found guilty of terrorism

Hong Kong: The first person to accuse the Hong Kong national security law was found guilty on Tuesday terrorism and incited separation in a landmark case with long-term implications for how the law formed the tradition of the city’s general legal.
Alternative costs of malicious efforts that cause sad body damage are not considered.
The High Court will hear the mitigation argument on Thursday and the punishment will be announced later on.
The former Tong Ying-Kit servant, 24, was accused of riding his motorcycle into three riot police while carrying a flag with a protest slogan “freeing Hong Kong, our era revolution,” said the prosecutor was a voter.
The many anticipated verdict, which many of them hedged in the interpretation of the slogan, imposed new restrictions on free speeches in the former British colony.
Pro-democracy activists and human rights groups also criticize the decision to deny the bail and jury trial, which has become the main feature of Hong Kong’s legal rules.
His trial was led by Judge Ester, Anthea Pang and Wilson Chan, who was chosen by the leader of Carrie Lam to hear national security cases.
After all read the summary of the verdict in court, by saying “the look of these words was able to incite other people to do self-separation.” He added that Tong was aware of the meaning of half the slogan, and that he intended to communicate this meaning to others.
He also has a “political agenda” and his actions lead to “great damage to the community”.
Tong claimed innocent on all allegations, which came from the event on July 1, 2020, shortly after the law was enforced.
Tong trials mostly focus on the meaning of the slogan, which is everywhere during the Hong Kong 2019 Mass protest.
It was sung on the streets, posted online, written on the wall and printed on everything starting from pamphlets, books, stickers, and shirts to coffee cups.
The debate attracted various topics, including ancient Chinese history, US civil rights movements and Malcolm X, to ascertain whether the slogan was astidated.
Two expert witnesses were called by the defense to analyze the meaning of the slogan, drawing on sources including an examination of around 25 million online posts, found “no substantial link” between Hong Kong slogans and independence.
The government in Beijing and Hong Kong have said repeatedly security laws are needed to bring stability after 2019 protests that often experience violence and that the rights and freedom of promise to the city after returning to the Chinese government in 1997 remain intact.
Law, applied by Beijing in June 2020, punished what China saw as subversion, separation, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces.
The government has said that all prosecutions have been handled independently and according to law, and that law enforcement act has nothing to do with political attitudes, background or their captured profession.
