HONG KONG: Two prominent Hong Kong opposition lawmakers were arrested on Wednesday in a police operation focused on last year's protests, the latest move in a widening crackdown against the city's democracy camp.
Both are minority pro-democracy lawmakers in the city's partially elected legislature and vocal critics of both Beijing and the Hong Kong government. Lam was also charged with"conspiring to damage property and obstruction of justice outside Tuen Mun police station on 6 July last year", the statement said.
The huge rallies upended the city's reputation for stability and sparked a crackdown by China that has dramatically gathered pace this year., tightening Communist Party control over the semi-autonomous city and ending the legal firewall between the two territories.
