Hong Kong police arrested four men connected to the Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union for conspiracy to commit subversion under the national security law. The arrests involved individuals aged 15 to 47, facing potential life imprisonment. This group, founded in Taiwan, sought assistance from foreign countries, planned military training, and coordinated activities abroad promoting Hong Kong’s independence. During investigations, police uncovered proposals for international support regarding political prisoners, as well as flags promoting independence themes. The group's response condemned government actions against freedoms and asserted their intention to resist suppression.
The arrests on Wednesday involved four men aged between 15 and 47 who face up to life imprisonment if convicted under the new national security law.
The Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, founded last year in Taiwan, reportedly aimed to solicit foreign assistance and provide military training for its members.
During their search in Hong Kong, police found a proposal urging the US to plan for saving Hong Kong political prisoners, along with flags about independence.
Members of the group condemned the government for abusing the security law, stating that they would not remain silent in the face of suppression.
