Hong Kong’s police chief has said more arrests linked to Stand News are not out of the question, days after seven with ties to the now-defunct online outlet were hauled in over accusations of publishing seditious content.
Raymond Siu Chak-yee also hit back at Western critics of Wednesday’s operation, which saw reams of journalistic materials carted away, saying it was perfectly legal.
“All our law enforcement actions have been carried out in accordance with the law,” he said on the sidelines of a New Year’s Day event.
