Masked and wearing a blue shirt and a light gray blazer, Lai was led out of his mansion in Kowloon by police officers also wearing surgical masks and was taken away.

Simon said police searched both Lai’s and his son’s home, and detained several other members of media group Next Digital, which Lai founded. “But for a few tweets, and because they are said to threaten the national security of mighty China? That’s a new one, even for me,” he said. Last year, Lai met Vice President of the United States Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the White House to discuss Hong Kong’s controversial legislation – since withdrawn – that would have allowed criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland China to stand trial.

Over a hundred police raided Next Digital’s headquarters, cordoning off the area, searching desks in the newsroom and at times getting into heated exchanges with Next Digital staff. What police were looking for in the building wasn’t clear. Simon said in a tweet that the police were executing a search warrant.
