The US State Department said Friday it “strongly condemned” the Hong Kong authorities’ “ongoing harassment” of family members of pro-democracy activists living overseas.
The US said it was “particularly concerned” about recent cases involving activists like Nathan Law, Joshua Wong and Elmer Yuen whose family members and acquaintances had been “detained and questioned by Hong Kong police.” “We call on the Hong Kong authorities to cease all harassment of the democracy activists’ family members,” said spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Law had publicly severed ties with his family back in Hong Kong soon after arriving in Britain, where he has since been granted political asylum. His parents and elder brother were taken away for questioning on July 11 and were asked whether they had been providing financial assistance to him. All three were later released, the city’s public broadcaster RTHK reported, citing police sources.
