University Student in HK Charged With National Security Violation for Reportedly Possessing Pepper Ball Gun
A 23-year-old university student in Hong Kong, who was originally accused of possessing a pepper ball gun without a licence, is now charged with "inciting secession" under the #NationalSecurityLaw.
The new charge was added by the prosecution when the case was mentioned in court on April 8, 2021.
In February, the prosecution made the news for grammatical mistakes in the indictment document such as "one piece pepper ball" and "two pieces pepper ball". The judge ordered the prosecution to correct the primary-school level English mistakes before continuing the trial, lest it becomes "the laughingstock of foreign courts.”
