The National Security Department (NSD) of the Hong Kong Police Force this morning (August 26) laid a charge against a 19-year-old local woman with one count of "doing with a seditious intention an act or acts that had a seditious intention". The woman was allegedly involved in producing promotional videos for a subversive organisation named the "Hong Kong Parliament" from March to May this year, and appealing to others through social media platforms to vote for the purpose of overthrowing and undermining the body of the central power of People's Republic of China or the body of power of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The case will be mentioned at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts this afternoon.
Police remind members of the public that "doing with a seditious intention an act or acts that had a seditious intention" is a serious offence. Offenders shall be liable to imprisonment for seven years on first conviction. Members of the public are urged not to defy the law.
