Two more Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers arrested, the Civic Party said, bringing to three the number of members of the city's parliament targeted in a protest crackdown
Two more Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers were arrested late Friday, the Civic Party said, bringing to three the number of members of the city's parliament targeted in a protest crackdown.
Police said Wong and Agnes Chow are being investigated for their role in a June 21 unauthorised protest outside a police station. Both are charged with participating in the demonstration and inciting others to join it. Wong is also charged with organising it. Demosisto's vice-chairperson Isaac Cheng urged residents to continue protesting despite a high risk of arrest.
Unrest in Hong Kong escalated in mid-June over a now-suspended extradition bill that would have allowed people to be sent to mainland China for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts.
