HONG KONG - A Hong Kong court again denied bail on Tuesday to the first person charged with inciting separatism and terrorism under a new national security law in the Chinese-ruled city.
The government of the Asian financial hub has said the protest slogan connotes separatism or subversion under the new law, fuelling concern over freedom of expression in the former British colony. He was denied bail last month, with the case adjourned to Oct 6 as prosecutors sought more time to collect evidence.
The burden is now placed on the defendant, under the new law drafted by Beijing, where the judiciary is controlled by the Communist Party.
