The arrests come after Security Secretary Chris Tang vowed “swift and efficient” action against the activist group for its refusal to co-operate with a national security investigation and hand over related documents. Police said in a statement they arrested four people for failing to comply with security law requirements, without identifying the suspects.
In recent days, Chow’s group had continued to resist a police request to turn over information about its membership and finances. One member, Tsui Hon-kwong, filed a judicial review on Tuesday, asserting that law enforcement officers were overstepping their power, according to media reports.
