HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong police arrested nine pro-democracy activists on Thursday over a protest outside China's representative office in November, a move some said was a bid to stifle opposition before Chinese President Xi Jinping's expected visit in July.
The arrests in the Chinese-ruled city came a day after two disqualified pro-independence legislators were charged over a separate incident in November when they tried to barge into a meeting of the Legislative Council.
