Publishing tycoon Jimmy Lai and other democracy activists were arrested on charges of illegal assembly. FMTNews JimmyLai HongKong

Hong Kong media magnate Jimmy Lai, center, is taken away by police officers at the occupied area outside government headquarters in Hong Kong.

Lai and veteran democracy activists Lee Cheuk-yan and Yeung Sum, were arrested on Friday in the Asian financial hub on charges of illegal assembly, drawing condemnation from international rights groups, media said. The spokeswoman also called for the rule of law and Hong Kong people’s rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression to be preserved.

The arrest of the three men was outrageous, said Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, adding that there was no doubt its government was acting at Beijing’s instructions.
