#RECAP Media tycoon #JimmyLai was last arrested on Feb 28 along with Labour Party's Lee Cheuk-yan and former Democratic Party leader Yeung Sum for "unlawful assembly" on 8.31 last year. They were granted bail and are set to be mentioned in court on May 5.
We are looking at perhaps the largest group arrest of pro-dem leaders/activists in a single day.
So far Figo Chan of @chrf_hk, League of Social Democrats' Raphael Wong, "Longhair" Leung Kwok-hung and Avery Ng, as well as former lawmaker Au Nok-hin are confirmed arrested...
We are also looking at names including Labour Party's Lee Cheuk-yan, Democratic Party's Martin Lee and Albert Ho.
The causes are, according to League of Social Democrats, rallies on 8.18 and 10.1 last year.
The count has now increased to 14 names - the 13 below mentioned by @HKDemocrats's lawmaker Andrew Wan, plus Cyd Ho of Labour Party. If it's about 8.18 and 10.1, maybe also incumbent lawmaker Leung Yiu-chung?
#JUSTIN Veteran barrister Margaret Ng will head to the Central District Police Station at 3pm this afternoon for the police to arrest her.
Police has just entered #JimmyLai's house.
Jimmy Sham is not arrested and now outside Cheung Sha Wan Police Station to show support.
#JimmyLai is arrested from his home - the 13th today.
Veteran barrister Margaret Ng entered Central Police Station with a copy of China’s National Security by Cora Chan and Fiona de Londras, published just last month.
