Hong Kong Police Arrest Dozens Over Alleged Subversion

Hong Kong has arrested dozens of pro-democracy activists and politicians, accusing them of trying to overthrow the city’s government.

The group, arrested under a controversial new security law, were involved in an unofficial primary vote to select opposition candidates ahead of postponed 2020 elections.

The arrests formed part of the largest crackdown since the law’s introduction.

Hong Kong’s security secretary has said their actions were subversive.
