2 relatives of wanted Hong Kong activist Joseph Tay taken in for questioning
Couple, who were escorted to Tsing Yi police station, left at around 11am, insider says
A cousin of wanted Hong Kong activist Joseph Tay and her husband were taken away for questioning on Thursday morning, the Post has learned.
A source said the couple were escorted to Tsing Yi police station to assist with an investigation into the Canada-based activist’s alleged national security law violations.
“They were expected to leave Tsing Yi police station at around 11am,” the insider said.
The source later confirmed that the pair left around that time.
Tay, a 62-year-old former actor and founder of Canada-based non-profit Hongkonger Station, was among six activists in December last year who had HK$1 million (US$127,600) bounties placed on their heads for allegedly violating the 2020 national security law.
He is among 19 activists wanted on suspicion of contravening the Beijing-decreed legislation.
