Simon Cheng, 33, is accused of being involved in the establishment of separatist-linked political organizations and repeatedly promoting Hong Kong independence through various social media platforms, Li said. Cheng, along with 24-year-old Hui and Siu, have repeatedly called for foreign sanctions against officials, judicial officers and law enforcement officers of the central government and the Special Administrative Region government.
Li added that Fok, 42, and Choi, 46, are accused of operating social media channels, where they have released multiple videos urging viewers to undergo military training abroad, join foreign armies or organize military forces in an attempt to achieve Hong Kong independence. They advocated using armed force to overthrow the administration of China and of the special administrative region.
Li revealed that Fok and Choi had previously been involved in a plot to deceive and defraud the public of over HK$100,000 while purportedly assisting young people involved in rioting to flee Hong Kong, describing their actions as abhorrent.
