China confirms it detained 12 Hong Kongers at sea last month

Associated Press  

HONG KONG — Chinese authorities have confirmed the criminal detention of 12 Hong Kongers who were allegedly attempting to travel illegally to Taiwan by boat last month, while the foreign ministry in Beijing labeled the group separatists. Beijing foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Sunday on Twitter that the 12 detained were not “democratic activists, but elements attempting to separate #HongKong from China.” Under Hong Kong’s security law, attempting to separate Hong Kong from China is illegal, as the law outlaws secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces in the city’s internal affairs. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said last week that the group arrested would have to be dealt with according to Chinese laws if they were arrested for committing an offence in China. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement Friday that the U.S. is “deeply concerned” over the arrests of the 12 people, whom he called “democracy activists.” U.S. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a Twitter post Saturday that the arrest of the 12 is “another sad example of the deterioration of human rights in Hong Kong.” “Legitimate governments do not need to wall their countries in and prevent their citizens from leaving,” Ortagus wrote.
