Government officials from the United States, the UK, and Taiwan have expressed concerns following the mass arrests of 15 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong on April 18, the biggest crackdown on the city’s pro-democracy movement since large-scale protests erupted in June last year.
“Politicized law enforcement is inconsistent with universal values of freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly,” tweeted U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo following the arrests.
