HONG KONG—Dozens of people in Hong Kong braved heavy rain on Friday evening to write postcards to 12 fugitives arrested by the Chinese regime at sea last month to offer comfort during the upcoming mid-Autumn festival.
The 12 were arrested on Aug. 23 accused of illegal entry into mainland Chinese waters after setting off from Hong Kong in a boat bound for Taiwan.
