US EditionHong Kong police arrest family of pro-democracy activist, reports say
- On April 30, Hong Kong authorities detained the father and brother of Anna Kwok, a pro-democracy advocate based in the United States, on suspicion of managing her financial assets in Tseung Kwan O.
- Authorities targeted the relatives following Kwok's 2020 departure after accusing her of breaching national security laws through foreign collusion linked to her activism.
- The 68-year-old father was charged with attempting to access Kwok's insurance funds, while the 35-year-old brother was granted bail as authorities continue to investigate the matter.
- Police warned handling funds for an absconder is a serious offense punishable by up to seven years’ imprisonment, marking the first national security prosecution of a wanted activist's relatives.
- The arrests signal heightened enforcement of Hong Kong's controversial security laws, which Western nations and rights groups criticize for suppressing dissent and intimidating activists.
