Tong Ying-kit, 23, is the first person charged under the new national security law for inciting secession and terrorism during the July 1 protest. The defendant faces charges of terrorism and subversion of state power (a crime commonly used in China against activists and dissidents), two of the four crimes typified in the new regulations.The 23-year-old man was driving his motorcycle down a narrow street when a group of riot police hit the road, and ended up running over three of them before falling to the ground, according to a video of the events published by the press.
