"Chan Kim Kam, 38, was one of the first people arrested in Hong Kong under the revamped sedition law, part of a second package of national security laws enacted in 2024 known as Article 23. She and several others were accused of publishing posts with 'seditious intent' related to the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown."
"Although she hasn't been charged, Chan, in an interview with Reuters, said she has lost several jobs due to the fallout of her arrest and now has to report to a police station weekly. 'Is it really necessary to kill off a person's survival space in Hong Kong?' she asked rhetorically."
"A set of illustrated Post-it notes shows each person arrested, and the theme is constant throughout the article. Colors indicate the type of law invoked to warrant an arrest."
In 2019, millions protested in Hong Kong against the Communist Party, leading to the imposition of a national security law. Chan Kim Kam, arrested under the new sedition law in 2024, lost multiple jobs and must report to police weekly. She questions the necessity of such suppression, highlighting the impact on individuals with specific political views. The article features illustrated Post-it notes representing each arrest, using colors to indicate the laws involved, effectively linking personal stories to broader statistics.
