Second Conviction for Inciting Secession: A Young Man Chanting Pro-Democracy Slogans in Public

Ma Chun-man, a prominent pro-democracy protester nicknamed "Captain America 2.0", was found guilty in a District Court on October 25 for inciting secession by chanting and displaying protest slogans.

District Judge Stanley Chan ruled that Ma “continuously and unreservedly” incited others to do what was prohibited under the national security law, using slogans such as “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times”, “One nation, one Hong Kong” and “Hong Kong independence, the only way out".

“The defendant’s words were not empty talk, but a sincere and heartfelt expression of his beliefs and feelings,” said Chan, who is among a list of judges hand-picked by Hong Kong’s leader to oversee national security cases.

Ma was the second person convicted under the National Security Law, after #TongYingKit who was sentenced to nine years in prison after he rode a motorbike through police blockades while flying a flag with a protest slogan.
