Hong Kong court denies bail to ex-editors after raid on news outlet
It comes as US secretary of state calls for release of Stand News editors, saying ‘journalism is not sedition’
A Hong Kong court has denied bail to two former senior editors charged with conspiring to publish seditious materials, a day after police raided Stand News, a pro-democracy media outlet, prompting its closure.
About 200 officers raided the office of the online publication on Wednesday, froze its assets and arrested seven current and former senior editors and former board members, in the latest crackdown on the city’s press.
