More than a dozen people, including two prominent politicians, have been arrested in Hong Kong over their involvement in pro-democracy protests.

Two prominent Hong Kong opposition figures were among more than a dozen people arrested in a police operation focused on last year's huge protests,Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui were detained after early morning raids on their homes, adding to the mounting prosecutions targeting Beijing's critics.

Lam Cheuk-ting, left, and Ted Hu, right, argue with pro-Beijing politician Junius Ho during a demonstration of an anti-riot vehicle.Police said the arrests were related to two anti-government rallies last year: one on 6 July and the other on 21 July, the latter on a day that saw a notorious attack by government loyalists on protesters in the town of Yuen Long.

The Yuen Long attack, which was streamed live, was a defining moment of last year's pro-democracy protests.

A textbook example of how to spin a story and put the people knowing the truth into jail in order to solve the “problem”. Shameless puppet HongKong government and HongKongPolice

These actions will not diminish Hong Kongers’ desire for freedom, democracy and autonomy. It is extremely upsetting to see Hong Kong police manipulating the narrative ever so unashamedly. How come they turn the plaintiff in 721YuenLongAttack to be defendant? That’s ridiculous.

kerokero_HKer How evil can the HKPolice be? . As a Hongkonger, my dream is simple but difficult.. So difficult for HK to have justice, HumanRight, liberty & democracy.. But We’re still fighting! Help us! No more PoliceBrutality, evil CCP Chinazi Totalitarianism! DefendingHongKong

HongKong Pro-democracy Lawmakers LamCheukting & TedHui ain't international celebrities, but they are true freedomfighters & in need of help!

Some people speak out for injustice. The so-called 'law enforcement agencies' do not arrest suspects but arrest those who speak out. The HKPoliceTerrorist are really exactly the same as those in CCPChina. SanctionChina SanctionHKPolice

All Hong Kong people also knew the fact of 721. Hong Kong government wanna change the history of that so they arrest Mr Lam. CCP_is_terrorist

Now HongKongPolice turns victims into defendant

They can never explain this picture: evidence of nonfeasance 721YuenLongAttack

The Hong Kong police arrested victims of the 721 terrorist attack but not those gangsters and organizers. That’s why we are saying that you can do anything without consequences if you support the Hong Kong regime and CCP.

What a ridiculous government! They arrest the victim of Yuen Long attack, tell lie and manipulate the fact! This two legislators stand out and voice out to protect innocent citizen who were attacking by white gangsters, but they are accused of being a rioter!

I remember I was watching the live-streams of the 7.21 YuenLong attack; it totally insane. The gangsters attack all the citizens and turn the metro into a mess. And today, the HongKongPolice arrest two of the victims and blame on them. HongKongPoliceLies

hongkongpolice they are shameless, they suppress who opinion difference, they made a story to blame and arrested them

JoJo53859628 Rule of law is dead in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Nowadays, you can become a criminal even if you are a victim. This is actually happening in HK. 721YuenLongAttack

Ridiculous! How evil shameless can the HKPolice be? . Hongkonger well knew CCP Chinazi & HKGov are evil & brutal Totalitarianism long ago.. HKer are still fighting, For justice, HumanRight & democracy! Pls StandWithHongKong! . DefendingHongKong HumanitarianCrisis

Doesnt matter who you are, Journos? Lawmakers representing lots of HongKongers? Nah end up in police station even prison when CCP thugs feel like doing that

Prosecuting the victims of the 721YuenLongTerroristAttack and those who helped the victims is the new strategy in HK, which is an old strategy adopted in China for decades.

It is ridiculous to talk about legislation and justice in Hong Kong now. Hong Kong is under CCP control. CCP is rewriting history and the truth.

The communist is now trying to rewrite history of riot organised by pro-Beijing parties

721YuenLongTerroristAttack is a CCP motivated mob attack on innocent civilians in metro / subway station. Police was gone and shut down doors for 40mins when people rushed to ask for help. StandWithHongKong HKPoliceTerrorists

So ridiculous. The free world should admit 1country2systems is dead. NO freedom, No justice and No human rights in HongKong anymore now. Just HKPoliceState and fail state. The NewBerlin. StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong 721YuenLongTerroristAttack

What I saw was the sophistry of HK police. Not logic! The outside 🌎 must need to know the truth of 721YeungLongTerroristAttack RTHK (eng.) ep1. 721 Yuen Long Nightmare ep2. HK Connection / translate by Black Head Down

CCP wanna rewrite the history, just like the TiananmenSquareMassacre

Behind the arrests,CCP and HKPolice are distorting the truth of 721YuenLongAttack They have claimed that it was only a fight but not terrorists attack or police-triad collusion White thugs followed and beaten the people,fight? All police disappeared?

Liar,which means HK Government and HK police. WednesdayVibes

Victims of the 721 attack are arrested. Finally, HKPoliceTerrorists announce they have no moral red line. They arrest the victims and protect the attackers.

To be more precise, Lam Cheuk Ting was the victim in 721YuenLongTerroristAttack but he was arrested for rioting. Tyranny blames the dissidents for revealing problems but not tyranny itself.

A video receiving by LegCo member Lam Cheuk Ting from victims of Jul 21 Yuen Long Terror Attack with HKPoliceTerrorists collusion demonstrates outrageous situation of systematic injustice by CCP & its illegitimate enforcement empowered to HK police

Last year 721 HKPolice turn their back on HK ppl & let hundreds white shirt thugs attacked HK ppl. They arrested few of them after a yr investigation, & ironically they arrested 2 peo-demo councillors who help HK ppl in that day for a ridiculous reason 😡

This news is really ridiculous, it shows rule of law is a joke in Hong Kong

Actually they are the plaintiffs. However, the Hong Kong police is trying to rewrite the history by arresting the plaintiffs as defendants. That’s not the truth! 721YuenLongTerroristAttack was happened due to the absence of police for 39 minutes.

So-called Hong Kong police rewrites the history of 721YuenLongAttack

At that time, the two legislators were there just to resolve the dispute, but now they are being prosecuted by the police politically😤 In order to eliminate dissidents, HK has become a terrorist police city😣

The actions of the HKG are completely nonsense. There is no justice in Hong Kong right now.

We need all Democratic countries to come together and confront China but unfortunately it seems our leaders don't value democracy and freedom anymore its going to be a sad world that we will leave future generations I won't blame them when they hate us

The end of democracy and the rule of law in HK before our eyes.

This will be Australia soon if we allow far the far left labor politicians to get into power they crave these sort of powers

And we upset China by asking for an inquiry into the virus?

For God's sake we all need democracy more than ever right now
