CHINA-HONGKONG: AUTHORITIES ARREST 47 HONGKONG PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVISTS ON FEBRUARY 28
|
Reports on February 28 evening disclosed that the authorities had arrested 47 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, adding to the lengthening list of people being punished under the National Security Law recently imposed by China. Some observers have commented that the arrests are probably intended as a warning to Hong Kong residents and to round up protestors before the 'Big Two' session opens in Beijing on March 4.
