A court in Hong Kong on Monday rejected bail to the first man charged under the new national security law imposed by China, Reuters reported.

Tong Ying-kit, 23, has been charged with inciting separatism and terrorism for allegedly driving a motorcycle into a group of policemen while bearing a flag with the "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time" slogan. The incident took place on Wednesday, a day after China imposed the contentious law in Hong Kong.
