Police summon father of activist linked to subversive ‘Hong Kong Parliament’
Force asks Alan Keung’s father to report to police station to assist in investigation into his son, an activist based in Canada
National security police have summoned the father of an activist wanted for his involvement in the “Hong Kong Parliament”, a group deemed subversive by authorities, to “assist in an investigation”, the Post has learned.
A source said that the birth father of Alan Keung Ka-wai, a man surnamed Koo, had been asked to report to Tin Shui Wai Police Station on Wednesday morning to help with the investigation into his Canadian-based activist son. Keung is also believed to have a stepfather.
“[We] expect the investigation to wrap up around noon,” the source said. Koo was seen leaving the police station around noon.
Alan Keung is among 15 activists who were each slapped with a HK$200,000 (US$25,477) bounty last month for their involvement in an overseas election organised by “Hong Kong Parliament” in May.
Police earlier accused the group, founded by wanted self-exiled activists Elmer Yuan Gong-yi, Victor Ho Leung-mau, Fok Ka-chi and Choi Ming-da, of attempting to subvert state power by promoting “self-determination” and formulating a so-called Hong Kong constitution.
Keung was also the chairman of the Taiwan-based advocacy group, Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union.
Four members of the union based in the city, aged 15 to 47, were arrested by national security police last month for conspiring to subvert state power.
