The now-disbanded Demosisto group stood accused of selling facemasks which did not attain ASTM Level 1 as the package claimed.
Arrest warrants have been issued for two members of a disbanded Hong Kong pro-democracy group after the duo missed a court session on Friday.
Isaac Cheng, former vice-chair of Demosisto, and Tobias Leung, who was a former standing committee member, were supposed to appear at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts in front of Deputy Magistrate Tobias Cheng.
The pair were suspected of false trade descriptions for trade goods. The now-disbanded Demosisto group stood accused of selling facemasks which did not attain ASTM Level 1 as the package claimed.
The Witness reported that the deputy magistrate approved the prosecution’s application for arrest warrants, allowing the police to seek to arrest the duo.
The deputy magistrate said that, if the pair are arrested and brought to court, they could still be bailed out with HK$10,000, InMedia reported.
Leaving Hong Kong
In April, Isaac Cheng said in a Facebook post that he had left Hong Kong for the UK.
