Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong arrested for 2019 'unlawful assembly'

Prominent Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was arrested on Thursday for "unlawful assembly" related to a 2019 protest against a government ban on face masks - the latest in a series of high-profile arrests as the authorities seek to crack down on the Chinese-ruled city’s pro-democracy movement.

kerokero_HKer The World should say no to Tyranny! . Although facing the evil Chinazi, NationalSecurityLaw & PoliceBrutality, Hongkongers are not giving up! Sanction XiJinPing, CarrieLam, HKGov & CCP Officals! FreeHK SOSHK SAVE12HKYOUTHS StandWithHongKong AntiChinazi

The anti mask law was passed to crackdown on protestors at the first place, but after the outbreak of COVID-19 it became a joke. And now the authorities are using this ridiculous law to take down activists. What would be next?

CCP didn't allow any assembly except your assembly Praise CCP or CCP's policy

hau_hk No matter how evil the CCP Chinazi NationalSecurityLaw are No matter how brutal the HKPolice is HKer are still fighting for justice, liberty & democracy 💪🏿😠 Hongkonger are not giving up! StandWithHongKong HongKong PoliceBrutality HumanitarianCrisis save12hkyouth

Ok. Hong Kong people are all Joshua Wong now？Seems the streets were crowded on October 5th, and they also masked as well. Selective enforcement？ antimasklaw

Political oppression

this is why we say hk is dying! release JoshuaWong !

Wearing the mask becomes criminal! Ridiculous! save12hkyouths

What crime did joshuawongcf commit? He just exercised the right of citizen assembly and put on a mask......🤷

It’s ironic that anyone who doesn’t wear mask may violate the law now. So cops use 599G to arrest dissenters instead.

Wong on so many levels.
