Hong Kong national security police question 2 relatives of fugitive Carmen Lau
Former district councillor was one of four wanted activists who met British officials last month in a move that sparked criticism from Beijing
National security police have brought in two relatives of a Hong Kong fugitive to help with an ongoing investigation, the Post has learned.
A source said officers asked a man and a woman, both relatives of 29-year-old opposition figure and former Wong Tai Sin district councillor Carmen Lau Ka-man, to come in for questioning at a police station in Sha Tin on Monday.
Lau, now an advocacy associate at the Hong Kong Democracy Council and thought to be living in the United Kingdom, has been charged with inciting secession and colluding with external forces.
Five others were added to the wanted list in December: political commentator Chung Kim-wah, 64; Joseph Tay, a 62-year-old former actor and founder of Canada-based NGO Hongkonger Station; Tony Chung Hon-lam, 23, former convenor of Studentlocalism; Victor Ho Leung-mau, 69, a YouTuber; and Chloe Cheung Hei-ching, 19, from the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation.
Lau was one of four wanted activists who met British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Minister for the Indo-Pacific Catherine West last month, a move that sparked criticism from Beijing.
