The Hong Kong Police’s National Security Department (NSD) indicted three individuals on July 11 for one count of “conspiracy to secession.” One of them, a 15-year-old boy, applied for bail but was rejected.

The three were among four people arrested on July 9 on suspicion of “conspiracy to subvert state power.” The NSD alleged during a press conference on July 10 that they all had connections to the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Alliance” founded by some Hong Kong people in Taiwan. The organization’s social media page has about 100 followers.
