REUTERS/Tyrone SiuHONG KONG, March 21 - Hong Kong police on Tuesday arrested a veteran pro-democracy politician who was granted bail last August for medical treatment after spending more than a year in detention on a subversion charge.
Ho has been charged with inciting subversion under a national security law that China imposed on the former British colony in 2020. He pleaded not guilty. The judge who granted him bail told him if he committed any acts endangering national security "his bail will be revoked and he won't be able to receive any kind of private medical care".
