Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Confirms Arrest at Airport
H.K. Activist Joshua Wong Arrested at Airport, Apple Daily Says
(Bloomberg) -- Prominent Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was arrested on Sunday at the city’s airport for breaching bail conditions, he said in a statement through his legal representative.
Wong said he was being held in custody and that he expected to be released after a hearing on Monday.
His detention was earlier reported by Hong Kong-based Chinese-language Apple Daily.
Wong was among several Hong Kong activists arrested in late August in a crackdown on protest leaders, and was released on bail shortly after his detention. Wong traveled to Taiwan last week to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen’s ruling party.
A spokesman for the Hong Kong police said he cannot comment immediately.
