19-year-old Tony Chung, who had previously been arrested for an alleged breach of the national security law, was reportedly detained from a coffee shop near the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau.

The report also cited a Friends of Hong Kong group member as saying Chung was taken away by around a dozen uniformed and plain-clothes officers.

Two former members, Yanni Ho and William Chan, were also arrested by Hong Kong authorities about six hours later, the group said in separate posts. The pair were being held at different police stations and were given legal assistance. Friends of Hong Kong, which is based in London, said Chung went to them for assistance in seeking asylum at the American consulate because he feared he"may not return" from his latest summons.

It’s suspected that Chung has been followed by national security police. Otherwise he can at least go into the building of US Consulate even if he can’t get any help inside.

This is just the start of another wave of political suppression

So far there's still no any update from Chung. Can't imagine how desperate he was when being kidnapped at only few metres away from the Consulate.

The arrest is not based on reasonable grounds at all and proved Rule of Law is dead.

In future, Hong Kong will be listed as CCP so called “core national interest”. If US needs CCP cooperation on fighting climate change, US must concede on the human right issues in such as HongKong and Xinjiang.

You’ll never see him again.

I wonder how it came, no fucking freedom in Hong Kong anymore

Let him come in! This is what asylum is for. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️

I was hoping he could get out. What a terrible shame it is what China has done. Used to do business there and it was a great place. So very sad. And yet, this is what Trump would do to the US if he could.

Trump should give it to him
