Hong Kong (CNN)Hong Kong police have arrested a man after he allegedly booed the Chinese national anthem while watching an Olympics award ceremony inside a shopping mall, authorities said on Friday.
The 40-year-old man was accused of "insulting" the anthem when watching a live stream of an award ceremony on Monday, which showed Hong Kong fencer Edgar Cheung winning the first gold medal for the city in 25 years.
When the Hong Kong flag was raised and the "March of the Volunteers" was played through a live stream, the man -- who identified himself as a journalist -- was accused of "insulting" the anthem, police said.
He was arrested on suspicion of breaking the National Anthem Ordinance, which came into effect in June last year. The charge carries a maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment.

Somebody ratted on him. Phone filmed, then tattled for praise.
Were they playing the black national anthem? For shame..
Boo the “Black National Anthem” here and see what happens to you.
Hell- our FBI have arrested hundreds who boo’d mike pense and those that were certifying a stolen election
Almost everyone in these Hong Kong shopping malls were cheering against Chinese athletes.
Hong Kong is illegally occupied by ChiComs. It is not their anthem.
No place on Earth has gone as quickly to totalitarianism as rapidly as Hong Kong.
(We aren’t moving there slowly either).
Hong Kong National anthem is Glory to Hong Kong which is illegal to even him now.

The people in Hong Kong are holding their own as best they can. I have to give them credit for lasting this long. They are patriots willing to stand up, and alone, against a behemoth who wants to devour them for lunch.
How long did it take the Communists / totalitarians to overpower Russia, the Eastern European countries, Cuba, China, Vietnam, Cambodia?
I had the same thought.
