Hong Kong national security police question parents of wanted activist Anna Kwok in latest move against 8 sought by authorities
- Source says pair questioned over whether they had contacted daughter or offered financial support, but no arrests made
- Kwok, 26, is youngest of eight, each with HK$1 million price on their heads
Kwok Yin-sang and his wife Li Kin were released after they were interviewed by National Security Department officers for several hours, a source familiar with the case said.
He added no arrests were made, but the investigation continued.
The source said the pair were questioned over whether they had contacted their daughter or offered financial support.
Anna Kwok, 26, who left the city in January 2020, is the youngest of the eight wanted activists accused of breaching the national security law. Each has a HK$1 million (US$128,100) bounty on their head.
A police reward notice alleged Kwok had attended meetings and took part in campaigns overseas and met foreign politicians and officials to lobby for sanctions against mainland China and Hong Kong. Police said the alleged offences happened between September 2021 and February 2022.
Kwok is a core member of the Hong Kong Democracy Council, a US-based non-profit agency set up to expand freedom in China.
