Ten people linked to a defunct fund set up to help Hong Kong protesters during the 2019 anti-extradition bill unrest have been arrested by national security police.
Four men and six women were arrested on suspicion of “conspiring to collude with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security” and inciting a riot, police confirmed in a statement on Thursday.
According to the force’s investigation, the 10 – aged 26 to 43 – were suspected of conspiring with the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund to “accept donations from foreign organisations, and provide financial assistance to organisations that support overseas fugitives or advocate for imposing sanctions on Hong Kong.”
“The police, acting in accordance with a court order, searched the arrestees’ places of residence and work, and seized relevant documents and electronic communication devices,” the statement in Chinese read.
