HONG
KONG: About a thousand police officers were deployed this morning to arrest 53 pro-democracy advocates under Hong Kong’s new national security law, the National Security Department announced.
Those arrested are accused of “subversion” for allegedly trying to paralyse government activity and to force Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam to resign.
All 53 took part or helped organise primary elections for the pro-democracy camp in July when some 600,000 Hong Kongers voted to choose candidates for Hong Kong’s Legislative Council (LegCo).
Shortly after that, Lam decided to postpone the elections – scheduled for 6 September – by a year because of the pandemic emergency.
