Recently, Hong Kong police issued wanted and reward notices for eight individuals accused of endangering national security. All eight are currently living outside Hong Kong. Since the arrest warrants were issued, 13 family members of the eight wanted persons have been taken away by the police for questioning. Most recently, on July 24, the son, daughter, and daughter-in-law of Elmer Yuen, a prominent pro-democracy figure and co-founder of the overseas “Hong Kong Parliament,” the wanted persons, were each taken into police custody for questioning.
According to Yuen’s daughter-in-law, Legislator Eunice Yung Hoi-yan, she was served with a search warrant at her residence on Monday morning. She was then taken to the Western District Police Station for questioning, during which her laptop and mobile phone were briefly confiscated. After a three-hour video-recorded interview, she was allowed to leave. She pledged full cooperation with the police and promised to disclose any information about Mr. Yuen’s whereabouts.
