HONG KONG—Thousands of Hongkongers attended an evening rally in Edinburgh Place to protest a move by police to freeze millions in assets held by a local nonprofit that collects donations for protesters in need.
On Dec. 19, the police froze around HK$70 million (about $9 million) in donations to local nonprofit Spark Alliance, and seized $130,000 in cash and 3,300 supermarket coupons worth about HK$165,000 (about $211,000) from the homes of four people arrested from the group. Police said they arrested three men and one woman for suspected “money laundering,” according to a statement.
