Hong Kong police have arrested four individuals, including a 15-year-old, on suspicion of conspiracy to subvert state power. The suspects, aged between 15 and 47, are reportedly linked to a Taiwan-based organization. The arrests were made under Hong Kong's National Security Law. Authorities allege that the group has connections to a pro-democracy movement led by a self-proclaimed pastor who is also a member of the Hong Kong Parliament. The detainees include three males aged 17 to 19 and a 20-year-old woman. The police described the case as involving subversion, while some observers have criticized the arrests as an example of extraterritorial application of the law and transnational repression.
Four individuals, including a child, were arrested under the #NationalSecurityLaw due to suspected links with a Taiwan-based activist group. These shameful arrests, based on unlawful extraterritoriality clauses, are #TransnationalRepression and cannot be tolerated as normal https://t.co/5FY7Oe1JBc
