National Security Police arrests Pro-democracy Hong Kong Students, Seizing Snacks, Lotion and Books

On September 20, 2021, the National Security Police in Hong Kong arrested three students. One of them belonged to the pro-democracy student group #StudentPoliticism, while the other are former members.

At around 6:40am, the police arrested the group's convenor #WongYatChin, former secretary #ChanChinSum and former spokeperson #ChuWaiYing.

According to the group's published on statement on Facebook, the police also raided the group's storage room in the Wah Sing Industrial Building in Kwai Chung at around 11am.

The police took away around 40 boxes which contain M&M's chocolate, baby powder, hand cream, wipes, snacks and books as "evidence".

All these items are allowed by the Correctional Sevices Department to be passed on to people in prison.

At around 12:40pm, the police took Wong with his hands cuffed at the back to a community space run by Student Politicism in Mongkok. The police violently broke the door to enter the space which hosts book drifting and exchange.
