### TLDR:

Hong Kong makes first arrests under new local security law, targeting Catherine Tong for inciting unlawful acts around the Tiananmen commemoration.

### Key Points:

1. Catherine Tong, already in detention, was arrested for using Facebook to incite unlawful acts around the sensitive Tiananmen commemoration date.

2. The arrests signal the government's intent to use the national security law against perceived threats to national security, despite previous focus on economic development.

3. The crackdown on free speech in Hong Kong raises concerns about the use of the security law to suppress dissent.
