Hong Kong protests: Joshua Wong and other pro-democracy figures arrested
Activist Agnes Chow and Andy Chan, head of banned pro-independence party, also held
Several prominent pro-democracy figures have been arrested in Hong Kong in an apparent crackdown on protests that have plunged the city into its worst political crisis in decades.
The democracy activists Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow, former student leaders of pro-democracy protests in 2014, were arrested on Friday and Andy Chan, head of a now banned pro-independence party, was detained by police on Thursday. The two were later released, their political organisation, Demosistō, said.
