Hong Kong police arrested dozens of leading democratic activists on Jan. 6 on suspicion of violating the city's new security law, in the biggest crackdown yet against the opposition camp since Beijing imposed the law in 2020.
The swoop on many of the most prominent pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong was linked to an unofficial, independently organised vote in July last year to select opposition candidates for a since-postponed legislative election. Police also searched the offices of a pollster and a law firm and went to the offices of media outlets Apple Daily, Stand News, and Inmediahk, according to media.Pro-democracy activist Lester Shum is taken away by police officers after over 50 Hong Kong activists arrested under security law as crackdown intensifies, in Hong Kong, China January 6, 2021.
