Security law charges have been handed to seven people accused of trying to get others to commit subversion against the SAR government. All of those charged reportedly belong to a pro-independence group called Returning Valiant. Their members have been charged in the past for conspiracy to commit terrorism.

Also, a security law trial in the District Court began yesterday concerning a man who repeatedly called for Hong Kong independence, including the use of slogans at protests.

What else is happening?

Apparently, this snazzy new cafe just opened in Sheung Wan. I could never picture this in Sheung Wan, but then again it’s been a while since I was last there. If any one of you go please let me know how it is.
