Hong Kong National Security Police Raid Two Bookstores, Arrest Five
On July 15, Hong Kong national security police raided two bookstores in the Mong Kok district: Have a Nice Stay, founded by former journalists, and Greenfield Bookstore. Five individuals were arrested on suspicion of selling seditious publications. The operation is part of a broader reorientation and restriction of Hong Kong's once-vibrant civil society under the National Security Law, which has increasingly targeted media and cultural spaces. The arrests highlight ongoing enforcement of national security legislation in the city since its imposition in 2020.
