HKong police seen entering Stand News amid raid

Hong Kong police were raiding the office of an online news outlet on Wednesday after arresting six people for conspiracy to publish a seditious publication. More than 200 officers were taking part in the search, police said.

 They had a warrant to seize relevant journalistic materials under a national security law enacted last year. A group of more than a dozen officers entered the Stand News office Wednesday as media were cordoned off on the sidewalk. The six were arrested early Wednesday under a colonial-era crimes ordinance for conspiracy to publish a seditious publication, and searches of their residences were underway, police said.
