HK bans 'seditious' mobile game about fighting communists
Hong Kong residents found downloading or sharing a mobile game app about defeating the communist regime may be punished under national security laws, police have said. According to the website for Reversed Front: Bonfire, players can "pledge allegiance" to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Tibet or Uyghurs, among other options, "to overthrow the Communist regime". In a statement on Tuesday, police warned that those who download the game "may be regarded as in possession of a publication that has a seditious intention". It comes as Beijing has tightened grip over the city and has been seen as increasingly cracking down on dissent in the wake of the 2019 pro-democracy protests. In a line on the game's website, it stated that it was a "work of non-fiction", adding that "any similarity to actual agencies, policies or ethnic groups of the PRC in this game is intentional". The game also allows for users to play as communists to fight enemies and support the communist revolution. Police have also warned people against providing funding to the app developer, ESC Taiwan. "'Reversed Front: Bonfire' was released under the guise of a game with the aim of promoting secessionist agendas such as 'Taiwan independence' and 'Hong Kong independence'," said the police statement. "Those who have downloaded the application should uninstall it immediately and must not attempt to defy the law." As of Wednesday, the game - which was launched in April - is no longer accessible on Google Play or Apple's App Store from Hong Kong. But the warning might have inadvertently brought more attention to the game, which on Wednesday was the most popular search term on Google among Hong Kong residents. The game's creators have appeared to embrace the news surrounding its ban in the city, writing in a post that the game had been "introduced to the entire Hong Kong" as a result. In 2020, China imposed a national security law (NSL) on Hong Kong that critics say effectively outlawed dissent - but Beijing maintains is crucial for maintaining stability. The law - which criminalises secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces - came in response to massive pro-democracy protests that broke out in Hong Kong in 2019. Media mogul Jimmy Lai and activist Joshua Wong are among the pro-democracy figures that have been charged or jailed under the NSL. Hong Kong is governed under the principle of "one country, two systems", under which China has agreed to give the region a high degree of autonomy and to preserve its economic and social systems for 50 years from the date of the handover. But critics say the implementation of the NSL has breached the "one country, two systems" principle, though Beijing and Hong Kong have argued the NSL ensures the "resolute, full and faithful implementation" of "one country, two systems". Silenced and erased, Hong Kong's decade of protest is now a defiant memory What is Hong Kong's national security law?

The standoff lasted nearly 38 hours and ended on Saturday morning, May 10. FREDONIA, Wis. - The competency of a Fredonia man, charged with multiple felonies related to a days-long standoff and tactical situation in May, remains in question.

FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android Novak remains jailed on $1 million bond. He is charged with six felonies related to the standoff and tactical situation. What's next The judge ordered a competency hearing, at which the doctor who submitted the report will appear, for August. The backstory The tactical situation started on the night of Thursday, May 8. It lasted nearly 38 hours and ended with the suspect – since identified as Novak – in custody on Saturday morning, May 10. The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office said a man with weapons had barricaded himself inside a home and was "extremely dangerous." After Novak was taken into custody, the sheriff's office said there was no longer a threat to the public. According to the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office, it all started with reports of multiple gunshots on Fox Glen Road. Deputies monitored the area but didn't hear any gunshots. Law enforcement was able to reach the man over the phone – who acknowledged he was playing loud music and firing weapons. The man then said he was going to keep playing music and would shoot anyone who came to his home. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Shortly after that call, deputies heard multiple gunshots coming from the home. Further investigation determined the man was firing several guns – including an automatic rifle – in unknown directions, posing a "significant threat" to the community and deputies. The sheriff's office advised neighbors to shelter in place, specifically in the basements of their homes, due to the high-powered nature of the man's weapons. Negotiators tried to engage the man and deescalate the situation for several hours, but the sheriff's office said the man remained uncooperative and threatened to "go full auto" and kill anyone who approached. He provided further information that he was heavily armed and would use force against officers. The sheriff's office said the man was seen aiming a rifle toward law enforcement vehicles on multiple occasions. He was eventually taken into custody after the use of "non-lethal tactical resources." The standoff resulted in substantial damage to the home. The sheriff's office said a private construction company was contracted to stabilize and reinforce the structure so investigators could search inside, where they found multiple guns, among other items of significance. After he was taken into custody, Novak was taken to a behavioral health facility. He was later booked into the Ozaukee County Jail.
