The spelling of the phrase "Act on prosecuting the preparation of serious acts of violent subversion" has a few tricky elements. The word "prosecuting" contains the sequence /kjut/ which is sometimes spelled "cute" (as in acute), but here uses the more common spelling "cut." "Subversion" has a silent "b" and the "i" is pronounced as a short "u" /ʌ/. IPA phonetic transcription helps clarify these details, making them easier to understand for English language learners.
