    Hong Kong police on Tuesday arrested six people accused of publishing seditious social media posts, in what are the first publicly known arrests under the city’s new national security law. Police said in a statement that a woman in custody, with the help of five others, had used a social media page to anonymously publish the posts starting in April. The statement did not include other details on the social media page or the content of the posts, and it did not identify the six people, aged between 37 and 65, who were arrested.
