Hong Kong Police hunts down more pro-democracy advocates continues

On July 3, the Hong Kong National Security Police launched a high-profile search for eight Hong Kong citizens who are currently abroad. These individuals are suspected of violating the National Security Law, the police source said.

Today (July 5), the police arrested four men in Hong Kong, and conducted a search in a unit located in a Kwai Chung industrial building.

According to Hong Kong police, the arrested individuals are believed to have used their businesses, social media platforms, and mobile applications to collect funds. These funds were allegedly channeled towards supporting activities deemed detrimental to national security by Hong Kong citizens residing overseas.

The platform at the center of the investigation is identified as "PunishMee", an app that helps users find pro-democracy restaurants and businesses around the city. The police claims that it facilitated financial support for the eight Hong Kong citizens who are currently the subject of the manhunt.

The four apprehended individuals are currently being held for further investigation. The operation is ongoing, and law enforcement officials have not ruled out the possibility of additional arrests in the near future.
