HONG KONG—Hong Kong’s national security police on July 12 arrested five more people in relation to an alleged bomb plot, as political tensions rise amid Beijing’s tightening control over the city.
The five—four males and one female—were arrested on suspicion of conspiring to plan terrorist activities under a sweeping national security law imposed by Beijing a year ago as part of a clampdown on dissent in the former British colony, which had enjoyed freedoms not experienced on the Chinese mainland.
