HONG KONG—Hong Kong police on Tuesday arrested a veteran pro-democracy politician who was granted bail last August for medical treatment after spending more than a year in detention on a subversion charge.

Albert Ho, 71, once led the city’s largest opposition group, the Democratic Party, and is a lawyer who runs his own law firm.
