Hong Kong independent journalist Tang Ho-wing was arrested on suspicion of acting with "seditious intent" and left Yau Ma Tei Police Station in the early hours of Friday after being detained for nearly two days, having been released on bail. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said he was the first journalist arrested on a sedition charge under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, and called on the authorities to disclose the specific charges. Police said the case stemmed from an incident outside Prince Edward MTR Station on August 31, with a total of 8 people arrested.
