Prominent Hong Kong singer and pro-democracy activist arrested by the city’s anti-corruption watchdog over accusations that he broke the law by singing at a political rally three years ago.

The Associated Press

The arrest of Anthony Wong in the latest official move against those who had been pushing for greater democracy in the semiautonomous Chinese territory. The watchdog said in a statement that providing others with refreshments and entertainment at an election event is “a corrupt conduct and a serious offence” and is against the elections ordinance.

The arrests come as authorities crack down on dissent in Hong Kong following 2019 anti-government protests sparked by concerns that the former British colony was losing the freedoms it was promised when it was handed over to Chinese control in 1997.

England should have turn over Hong Kong as an independent city state. China dictatorship keeps people down for the benefit of the top dogs in the communist party.

Definitely not a corruption! In the same election, pro-Beijing candidate did the same things! Singing is not a crime ! ICAC ccp is evil

As if this watchdog is still useful in maintaining the election integrity. No more real democratic election in Hong Kong now.
