The US has criticised Hong Kong over the arrest of a journalist on sedition charges, ramping up tensions over a Beijing-led crackdown on dissent in the former British colony.

“Hong Kong’s position as a free, global financial centre depends on the free flow of information and opinions,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a Tweet late on Monday.

“Journalism is not a crime,” Price wrote, adding that the Hong Kong government should also free “others imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms.”in a statement on Monday that national security police arrested a 54-year-old for conspiracy to publish seditious material. Theand other local media identified the person as Au, citing people familiar with the matter.

A national security law that Beijing imposed on the city in 2020 – which bars terrorism, secession, subversion and collusion with foreign powers – has also been used to prosecute pro-democracy activists, including former media mogul Jimmy Lai. Convictions under the law can be punished by prison sentences of up to life in prison.
