Both the United States and Britain have condemned the arrests in Hong Kong of more than a dozen leading democracy activists and former lawmakers. |
|
Among those arrested on Saturday were the veteran lawyers Martin Lee and Margaret Ng, the media tycoon Jimmy Lai and the former opposition legislators Albert Ho, Lee Cheuk-yan and Leung Kwok-hung. |
|
Context: The crackdown is widely seen as opportunistic given the city’s preoccupation with handling the coronavirus outbreak, which has helped to quiet huge pro-democracy street protests but also fueled distrust of the authorities. |

美國政府發表聲明,譴責香港當局星期六大舉拘捕民主派人士,並說中國中央政府及其在香港的代表不斷作出與中方在中英聯合聲明的承諾不相符的舉動。這篇聲明由國務卿蓬佩奧署名發出。
