Religious groups in Hong Kong fear they could be politically targeted after police recently raided a church that supported protesters during the 2019 protest movement.
Rev. Wu Chi Wai, who presides as the general secretary of the Hong Kong Church Renewal Movement, told Radio Free Asia that the Hong Kong police are now targeting churches using accusations of vaguely defined money laundering activities that fall under the national security law s clause prohibiting collusion with foreign powers. The wording of the national security law is ambiguous, which means that churches, whether Catholic or Protestant, are now open to accusations of colluding with foreign powers, Wu said.
