Under China's security law, Hong Kong court convicts man for inciting secession

Under the controversial security law enacted by Beijing last year, a Hong Kong court has found a man guilty of inciting secession over the content of slogans he chanted and speeches he made in 2020, reported local media.

The 30-year-old Ma Chun-man — who is the second person to be convicted under the security law —was accused of chanting slogans and making speeches calling for Hong Kong's independence on at least 20 public occasions, and via social media, between August and November 2020, reported local media.
