Canadian singer Ho arrested

Reports say Canadian singer and activist Denise Ho is one of at least four people who have been arrested in Hong Kong on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces to endanger China’s national security. The U.K.-based human rights group Hong Kong Watch says Ho was detained by Hong Kong’s National Security Police along with Cardinal Joseph Zen, lawyer Margaret Ng and scholar Hui Po-keung. The group says the arrests are apparently related to their roles as trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, which provided legal aid to people who took part in 2019 pro-democracy protests.
