A 43-year-old man was arrested for inciting people in front of the British Consulate General in Hong Kong on the 19th, the day of the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The man is believed to have played a song sung during a large-scale protest three years ago, tightening control over speech critical of the government.
The man was arrested on the night of the 19th for inciting people in front of the British consulate and was released on bail on the 20th, according to a police statement.
According to local media, the arrested man played a harmonica of the song "Glory to Hong Kong", which was sung at various rallies during the mass protests three years ago.
On this day, many people visited the British Consulate in line with the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth, and mourned the queen by handing flowers and taking pictures, but when the state funeral was over, some people gathered and shouted the slogan used during the protest, ``Hong Kong people, do your best'', and the police rushed.
In Hong Kong, the Hong Kong National Security Law was enforced two years ago to crack down on anti-government movements. Control over unsolicited speech is tightening.
