Hong Kong Makes 100th Arrest Using National Security Law
On March 2 2021, Hong Kong made its 100th arrest under a national security law imposed less than a year (Jun 2020), while a mass bail hearing for dozens of pro-democracy activists was forced into a fourth day.
Former Next Digital Ltd. Executive Director Stephen Ting was detained on fraud allegations, the Oriental Daily newspaper reported, citing people it didn’t identify. Police issued a statement late Tuesday confirming the arrest of a 61-year-old man “after in-depth investigation by national security department.” Police didn’t name the person or his affiliation with Next Digital.
100 people arrested on suspicion of activities harming national security include 83 male suspects and 17 female aged between 16 to 79.
