Hong Kong national security police have taken away two relatives of a Canada-based activist for questioning.
A source said that activist Joseph Tay’s cousin and his wife were escorted from their home in Fo Tan to Sha Tin and Tin Sum police stations separately to assist with the investigation.
The source said the couple left the stations at around noon on Thursday.
Tay, a 62-year-old former actor and founder of Canada-based NGO Hongkonger Station, is among six people on whom police placed HK$1 million (US$128,860) bounties in December last year for allegedly contravening the national security law.
He is among 19 opposition figures accused of violating the Beijing-imposed law.

Tay has been charged with inciting secession and collusion with foreign forces after he allegedly posted videos calling for international sanctions on social media platforms via his channel between July 2020 and June last year.
Tay, a Canadian national, left Hong Kong before the 2020 national security law came into force.
Last week, the father of Anna Kwok Fung-yee, another wanted activist, was charged with attempting to deal with assets belonging to his daughter.
Kwok’s younger brother was also arrested during an operation on April 30. He was granted bail pending further investigation.
