Chu Kai-pong, 27, became the first person convicted under Hong Kong’s newly enacted domestic national security law. Chu pleaded guilty to sedition on Monday after being arrested for wearing a T-shirt and mask displaying pro-independence slogans, actions prosecutors said revived memories of the 2019 protests and incited public disorder. Details of the case: Chu was arrested on June 12, 2024, at Shek Mun MTR station while wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times” and a mask bearing “FDNOL,” shorthand for the 2019 protest mantra “five demands, not one less.”
