Hong Kong police have arrested five trade union members and a court has denied bail for four editors and journalists on charges of endangering national security, part of a widening crackdown on dissent in the city.
The five who were arrested are members of the General Association of Hong Kong Speech Therapists, according to local media reports.
Police confirmed they arrested two men and three women from a trade union, but did not identify them or the union. So far, eight former employees have been arrested. Apply Daily ceased operations in June after $2.3 million in assets were frozen and police raided the newspaper’s offices, confiscating hard drives and laptops.
