WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) condemned on July 2 mass arrests in Hong Kong that have taken place during protests this week against China’s new national security law.

“I’m disappointed, obviously, in the arrest of anyone who’s speaking out peacefully for democratic freedoms,” she said, in response to a question by The Epoch Times during a press conference.
