Hong Kong police arrested 14 people Saturday on suspicion of organizing and participating in an unauthorized assembly in 2019, when months of pro-democracy protests upended life in the city.
The police action was connected to unauthorized assemblies on Aug. 18, Oct. 1 and 20 in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon last year, Superintendent Lam Wing-ho said at a briefing on Saturday. The operation is ongoing and police do not rule further arrests, Lam said.
The arrested group comprises 12 men and two women aged between 24 and 81, according to the superintendent. Five are alleged to also have been involved
