Chan Kim-kam, a former Tsuen Wan district councilor who was arrested last year by Hong Kong police’s National Security Department, stated on social media on May 18 that officials pressured a theater group to replace her in a stage play that was scheduled to be performed at a venue run by the city.
She said authorities warned that the venue would not be rented out unless she was removed from the cast. Chan also revealed that the school where she had been teaching terminated her employment after receiving a complaint letter.
