Hong Kong activist arrested for ‘seditious words’ before rally

HONG KONG: An opposition activist was arrested in Hong Kong on Sunday by a new police squad for “uttering seditious words,” hours before a rally against a controversial security law.
The arrest of Tam Tak-chi, vice president of radical democratic party People Power, is the latest detention of a high-profile democracy supporter in the financial hub and came on the morning HongKongers had been due to vote in a general election, delayed because of the coronavirus.
