Joshua Wong Questioned on Charges Under Beijing’s ‘National Security Law’
Both were in police custody when they were taken into questioning on Thursday.
Wong, former secretary-general of local pro-democracy party Demosistō, has been serving a sentence in Shek Pik Prison. Tam, a former radio presenter nicknamed “fast beat” and vice chairman of the pro-democracy party People Power, has been detained at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Center since September last year.
Although Wong and Tam were in custody, Hong Kong police stated that they were arrested again due to their running in the 2020 primary elections for the pan-democracy camp. Since the two were already serving a sentence in detention, there was no need for bail or reporting to a police station.
HONG KONG: Jailed Hong Kong democracy campaigner Joshua Wong was arrested by police on Thursday under the city’s new national security law, a senior police source said. Wong, currently serving a sentence of 13 and a half months for his role in organizing democracy protests, was arrested inside Shek Pik Prison on a new charge of subversion, the officer confirmed.
