The Hong Kong Police National Security Department on April 10 took the parents of Frances Hui Wing-ting, a democracy advocate living in exile in the United States, to a police station for interrogation. The couple left the station at noon on the same day and were not arrested.

Hui posted on social media that she has not had regular contact with her parents since leaving Hong Kong, and said, “I feel really sorry to make them suffer again.” Past records also show Hui’s mother was taken by police for questioning in December 2024.
