Five arrested after Hong Kong police raid two independent bookshops

Hong Kong police have raided two independent bookshops and arrested five people on suspicion of violating national security laws.

• Police arrested two men and three women during raids on the Have A Nice Stay and Greenfield Book Store in Mong Kok.
• Authorities said the publications incited hatred against the government, judiciary, and law enforcement.
• Have A Nice Stay had announced its closure a day before the raid, citing financial reasons and an "elusive red line" over acceptable material.
• Amnesty International said uncertainty over "red lines" left booksellers guessing which titles could lead to criminal investigation.
