National security police in Hong Kong look set to bring subversion charges against more than 50 opposition politicians and activists in a city-wide crackdown on dissent under a draconian law imposed by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Some of the 53 activists said they expect to be charged on Sunday after being asked to report to their local police stations weeks ahead of their next scheduled check-in under bail arrangements.
The activists were arrested on suspicion of subverting state power after they took part in a democratic primary election in July 2020, that the authorities said was part of a deliberate attempt to block government bills in the city s Legislative Council (LegCo).
