Seditious Memorials and the Erosion of Free Expression in Hong Kong The recent arrest of three individuals for allegedly shouting seditious slogans outside Prince Edward MTR station highlights the increasingly blurred boundaries between free expression and sedition in Hong Kong.
The incident echoes the city's 2019 anti government protests, where riot police violently cracked down on protesters gathered at the same station.
Critics have long accused the Hong Kong national security police of heavy handed tactics and a willingness to silence dissenting voices.
