*****************************************************************

     The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force conducted an enforcement operation in Sham Shui Po yesterday (June 24), searching a shop and arresting its proprietors, a 33-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man, on suspicion of contravening Section 24 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, “doing an act that has a seditious intention with a seditious intention,” and Section 25 of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance, “dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence.”

     Police investigations revealed that the two arrestees are suspected of displaying items with seditious intent and selling publications with seditious content inside the shop, including materials inciting hatred against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the judiciary, and law enforcement agencies. In addition, the two arrestees are suspected of having received multiple remittances funded by foreign political organisations. Officers seized a batch of seditious items, books, and case-related documents from their shop and residence.

     All arrested persons are being detained for investigation.

     Police remind the public that “doing an act that has a seditious intention with a seditious intention” and “dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence” are serious offences. Upon first conviction, the respective maximum penalties are imprisonment for seven years and fourteen years. Members of the public are urged not to defy the law.
