Seven Chinese pro-democratic lawmakers arrested in Hong Kong
Seven pro-democratic lawmakers were arrested in Hong Kong on Sunday on charges related to obstructing a legislative council meeting in May, they said on Facebook, a move that comes after Beijing passed a contentious security law in June.
The arrests, which took place early in the morning, did not appear to be directly linked to the law but come as police have arrested around 30 under the legislation in recent months.
The bloc of pan-democratic lawmakers condemned the actions in a statement, saying the arrests suppress the rights of legislators to dissent.
The decision to prosecute the lawmakers over behavior in the chamber adds to mounting legal battles for opposition figures in the city.
“All arrestees are being detained for further enquires. The operation is under way and further arrests may be made,” police said.
