HONG KONG - Three ex-Hong Kong lawmakers were arrested in connection with a disruptive protest in the legislative chamber, as the Beijing-backed government ramps up pressure on the city's beleaguered opposition.
The three were accused of contempt and attempt to cause harm with a dangerous substance in connection with foul-smelling substances thrown onto the legislative rostrum during the proceedings, police said.The arrests represent the latest blow to Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement following the passage of the national security law in June, which curtailed protests and cast a chill over critics of the government.
The expulsion of the lawmakers last week triggered a fresh wave of international condemnation, with the UK summoning China's ambassador.
Dare to defend the people against totalitarianism, which is the real reason why they were arrested😔

It's disgusting to see HK gov. claim that they protect every people in Hong Kong in accordance with law. No justice for the deliberate assault by pro-bei member Kwok. Law is only a weapon against dissidents, not for protecting people.

Beijing is trying to stifle all dissidents including these elected pro-democratic lawmakers.
Hong Kong has no fair justice system now. The law is only used to suppress those who oppose the government. CCP_is_terrorist HKPoliceState save12hkyouths
blatant suppression of pro-democracy voices in Hong Kong
CCP threats are always w/ you! This is what they are doing to maintain their dictatorship in past 71 yrs. And their threats are deepening to the whole world in past yrs. The world should allied to eliminate CCP to restore world peace and order.
NationalSecurityLaw in Hong Kong is really one of the most devil in history like Hilter's facist enabling act 'Ermächtigungsgesetz' in 1940s for killing and torturing people. 7 billions of whole world must end CCP as CCP's evil hand has been reaching your homeland
1 year ago, the CCP arrested medics and humanitarian workers in the bloody PolyU siege. Today, it arrests lawmakers democratically elected by the ppl of HongKong. This is regression, rather than progression as claimed by the CCP. StandWithHongKong
The disqualification is just a blatant suppression of democracy, and now even arrest pro-democracy lawmakers, the dead of one country two system StandWithHongKong
If CCP is so powerful, why do they have fear of pro democracy lawmakers? Without separation of power, Hong Kong has became its 'motherland' There is no such thing as “legal rights” under CCP's rule.
Well Claudia, time to call your friend Trump for help, do it quick before he boot out himself !
HongKong is totally off and become the NewWestBerlin after the NationalSecurityLaw.. OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead. HongKongers, even non-HKer not in HK is suffering in that law. StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong save12hkyouths BringThemBack
