Over 200 police officers from Hong Kong’s National Security Department raided the offices of online pro-democracy media outlet Stand News on Dec. 29, while arresting six current and former staff members.

They were arrested for “conspiracy to publish seditious publications,” the Hong Kong government announced in a statement. The announcement did not name the six individuals, except that they were three men and three women, aged between 34 and 73.
