[Global Network Reporter Yin Yanhui] According to Hong Kong’s "Sing Tao Network" and other Hong Kong media reports on December 29, the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department announced that a prisoner was found to be suspected of violating Hong Kong’s National Security Law and referred to the police for investigation.
According to reports, the person in custody was remanded in custody in November for inciting others to split the country.
According to reports, correctional officers at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Center recently received intelligence showing that a remand person in custody attempted to promote "Hong Kong independence" information in the institution, suspected of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law, and the institution management immediately monitored the target person and location.
On the morning of the 29th, correctional officers took an action to search the person in custody and the cell, and found on the wall of the cell there were words suspected of promoting "Hong Kong independence".
The management immediately isolated the person in custody and conducted an investigation.
The department has forwarded the incident to the police for investigation.
The Correctional Services Department emphasizes that it will ensure a safe and secure detention environment. If any prisoner is found to commit illegal acts promoting "Hong Kong independence", it will definitely follow up seriously and will not tolerate it.
The report quoted sources saying that the person involved in the case was Ma Junwen, who had previously been dressed as "Captain America".
"East Net" reported that Ma Junwen was suspected of publicly promoting slogans about secession on the streets and in media interviews between August and November this year, and was charged with a crime of inciting others to split the country.
The case was brought before the West Kowloon Court in November, and the court remanded him in custody, while the case was scheduled for retrial on February 10 next year.
