The police confirmed in a statement that the man was arrested by its National Security department and said that he was suspected of collusion with a foreign country to endanger national security.
The paper, part of Next Digital, had its assets seized in June and was forced to close its print and online editions. So far only two of the eight, publisher Cheung Kim-heung and editor-in-chief Ryan Law Wai-kwong, have been charged. They are alleged to have published 30 articles that endanger China’s national security by calling for sanctions against Hong Kong and mainland Chinese officials.
Beijing introduced a National Security Law in Hong Kong a year ago. It describes crimes including secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. It also creates new security bodies within Hong Kong and opens up the possibility of extradition to mainland China for certain cases.
