A source said that activist Joseph Tay’s cousin and his wife were escorted from their home in Fo Tan to a police station to assist with the investigation, which was expected to end at around noon on Thursday.
Tay, a 62-year-old former actor and founder of Canada-based NGO Hongkonger Station, is among six people on whom police placed HK$1 million (US$128,860) bounties in December last year for allegedly contravening the national security law.
He is among 19 opposition figures accused of violating the Beijing-imposed law.
Tay has been charged with inciting secession and collusion with foreign forces after he allegedly posted videos calling for international sanctions on social media platforms via his channel between July 2020 and June last year.
