HONG KONG - A Hong Kong judge on Thursday jailed two men in the city's first sedition cases under a new national security law - one for wearing a shirt with a protest slogan and another for writing similar messages on bus seats.
Chu pleaded guilty plea to having seditiously worn a T-shirt with the protest slogan"Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times". Chu told police the"Liberate Hong Kong" slogan called for the return of Hong Kong to British rule and he wore it to remind people of the protests, the court heard. Beijing imposed a national security law in 2020 to quash the months-long protests in the financial hub. In March 2024, Hong Kong passed a second new security law.
