Security cameras along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade next to Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong , in September 2020.
The trio were each charged with two offences under Britain's National Security Act, which was passed last year and introduced new measures to target threats from foreign states. The three men appeared in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where they spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and address.
"While these offences are concerning, I want to reassure the public that we do not believe there to be any wider threat to them," Commander Dominic Murphy, Head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said in a statement.
