accused of attempting to flee the city by boat for Taiwan last year, local media and activists reported on Thursday .
Those arrested, ages 18 to 72, according to local broadcaster RTHK, included eight men and three women.Daniel Wong, a lawyer who tried to help the 12 people detained in China last August, was among those arrested.Police told Reuters they were still gathering information and could not make any immediate comment.
In late December, a Chinese court sentenced 10 of them to between seven months and three years in prison for illegally crossing the border, in a case that drew international attention and concern over the treatment of the activists.The detainees' families said they had been denied access to independent lawyers and aired suspicion that Hong Kong authorities helped in China's arrests.
The United States and European Union have called for the activists to be released and allowed to return to Hong Kong.

This is part of the CCP’s plan to eliminate democratic forces, and the National Security Law is their weapon. According to this evil law that can be used arbitrarily, any democrat, whether at home or abroad or planning to flee, is equally at risk😔

Totally unacceptable and ridiculous! The law is used to against the dissident in Hong Kong! Fighting for democracy and freedom has became a crime in Hong Kong!
The National Security Law is definitely nothing about protecting Hong Kong people but instead a tool for the CCP to clear all the pro-democrats in 🇭🇰, to censor any voice from opponents, and put 🇭🇰 to dead......

Beijing will continue to stifle democratic activists in Hong Kong by all means. The case of Hong Kong 12 has not yet ended. The fight for freedoms has not yet ended.
While a 🇬🇧 QC barrister is to be employed by HK gov to persecute Jimmy Lai, some HK lawyer is arrested for standing for civil rights. StandWithHongKong
HK pro-democracy protesters are seriously oppressed by CCP. Some are silenced, some are fleeing in place w/ freedom & lobby for HK, some are detained w/o bail & some are jailed. But they all still fighting for HK freedom. Pls continue to support HK protesters. standwithhk
distraught by both the fact that these honorable and courageous souls didn't flee the regime when they still had a chance but instead tried to continue on with their commendable work 😭😭😭😭
Among those arrested, one of them is lawyer Daniel Wong, who asked HongKongers not to give up democracy, justice and human rights even when he was arrested. Thanks all them for save12hkyouths previously.
We can't stop, we can't say no, we can't fear even under NationalSecurityLaw ! Please always StandWithHongKong and BoycottChina !
Systemic persecution by depriving freedom and democracy, torturing and killing HKers are the war crime like Hilter's administration in WW2 did. Action to end CCP before CCP controlling our world for your own safety
More than 100 people have been arrested under the national security law. The CCP have zero tolerance policy towards opposition and counter-revolution activities. Rule of Law is simply dead, A lot of ridiculous court rulings out there. We do need help from the world
Just an excuse to take away the activists phone for CCP to analysis. And also restrict their freedom of travelling foreign countries.
CCPChina is evil !
Another political prosecution example in Hong Kong, to arrest activist with nonsense reason, the regime is killing our judicial system, human rights and freedom. StandWithHongKong
HangInThere Hong kong never the same as before with arresting more people so sadly hopefully this will blow over,
And they arrested a lawyer!
What kind of regimes raids press room and mass arrests media owner, journalists, popularly elected lawmakers, humanrights lawyers and dissidents?
Further persecution!! Not only did HKGov did nothing to help the 12 HKers detained in China, now they arrested 11 more. Hong Kong is no longer safe for the young protestors so they need to flee. save12youths StandWithHongKong We must continue to voice out!
Will the people die if they have other voices? CCP_is_terrorists StandWithHongKong
Hong Kong more precious and important is Hong Kong peoples. But CCP could sacrifice anything and peoples to protect their regime. CCPChina CCP_is_terrorists HKPoliceState NationalSecurityLaw
