1. Chinese security agency in Hong Kong issued a warning against potential anti-government activities following last week's high-rise apartment fires, accusing anti-China forces of spreading false information and causing social division.
2. The agency threatened severe punishment for those using the disaster to disrupt Hong Kong under the national security law. Reports suggest volunteers distributing aid were asked to leave due to allegedly critical activities against the government.
3. A man was detained on suspicion of sedition for creating an online petition demanding government accountability and an independent investigation into the fire, which has so far claimed 128 lives with about 150 still missing. Experts suggest flammable construction materials may have contributed to the fire's rapid spread, with some blaming contractors and the government on social media.
