 Information received concerning the arrest and detention pending trial of human rights defenders and pro-democracy activists Ms. Chow Hang-Tung and Mr. Lee Cheuk-Yan who were arrested on 8 September 2021, along with other pro-democracy activists, and charged under the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“National Security Law”). Since then, they have reportedly been subjected to conditions of detention contrary to international law and standards, including solitary detention in retaliation for their activities. Their requests for bail have been systematically denied, and the date of their trial has been repeatedly postponed.
