Four seniors arrested on suspicion of “seditious intent” for displaying banner demanding genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong
The group of older pro-democracy activists, between the ages of 61 to 85, was reportedly standing next to a yellow banner displaying the words “I want genuine universal suffrage,” the central slogan of the 2014 Umbrella Movement which saw thousands occupy the city’s main streets to demand wider democracy.
The group has held vigil regularly in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Two members of the group were seen wearing yellow-coloured clothing, a symbol of the city’s flagging pro-democracy movement.
