Over 120 people have been arrested under the security law since it was implemented last June
Hong Kong has convicted a second person under its sweeping for chanting pro-independence slogans, amid a political crackdown in the city.
Ma Chun-man was convicted of inciting secession on October 25 after he was found to have chanted slogans such as “Hong Kong independence, the only way out” on 20 occasions between August and November of last year.
Critics in Hong Kong say the National Security Law erodes freedoms, such as those of expression and assembly, that were promised to the city for 50 years when the former British colony was handed over to China in 1997.
