A court in Hong Kong finds 24-year-old Tong Ying-kit, the first person to be charged under the national security law on July 1, 2020 (one day after its approval), guilty of terrorism and secession. He faces a sentence ranging from seven years to life in prison. The ruling also marked a limit to free speech for the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times", which Tong carried when he committed the offense. The judges stated that the slogan could "incite others to commit secession".
