Six people were arrested for conspiracy to publish a seditious publication after police raided the office of an online news outlet.
Police said more than 200 officers were involved in the search. They had a warrant to take journalistic materials.
The six were arrested under a colonial-era crimes act for conspiring to publish a seditious publication, and searches of their residences were underway.
Police arrested one current and one former editor at Stand News, as well as four former board members, including a singer and activist, according to the South China Morning Post newspaper.
Police did not say who they arrested.
Stand News posted a video on Facebook of police officers at the home of a deputy editor to investigate an alleged crime. The South China Morning Post reported that Chan was taken away for questioning but was not arrested.
The city of Shenzhen is cracking down on dissent. Police charged a former newspaper publisher with sedition. The assets of the Apple Daily newspaper were frozen.
The national security law caused Stand News to suspend subscriptions and remove opinion pieces from its website. Six board members resigned from the company.
Benedict Rogers, co-founder and CEO of Hong Kong Watch, said the arrests are an assault on the freedom of the press in Hong Kong.
He said that a free press guaranteed by Hong Kong's Basic Law is a symbol of the speed at which this once great, open, international city has descended into little more than a police state.
The removal of sculptures and other artwork from university campuses last week preceded Wednesday's arrests. The Tiananmen Square victims were memorialized in the works, and they supported democracy.
The Hong Kong Police raided the newsroom and arrested six people on sedition charges.
