HK: National security police ‘take away’ more family members of wanted Hong Kong activists for questioning

Police on Thursday morning “took away” two men and two women for investigation. According to local media, the brother of Dennis Kwok was among those questioned

Hong Kong national security police have questioned seven relatives and acquaintances of two wanted activists, in the latest move against eight overseas-based pro-democracy figures for whom arrests warrants and HK$1 million bounties were issued.

It was the latest such action against their families after officers on July 11 raided the homes of Nathan Law’s mother, father and brother and took the three away for investigation. The three were released after giving statements.

Media reports said police on Thursday morning “took away” two men and two women for investigation, including the brother of Dennis Kwok. In addition, the brother, brother-in-law and nephew of Mung Siu-tat were taken from their home in Sha Tin on Tuesday.

The reports said Kwok’s brother was later released from Western Police Station but the status of the others was not clear.

Police told HKFP that the Police National Security Department took away two men and a woman for investigation in Shatin on Tuesday and took away two men and two women for investigation in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island on Thursday.
