HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Children’s books likening Hong Kong democracy activists to sheep pursued by wolves were at the centre of the city’s latest national security sweep, with five people arrested on suspicion of publishing seditious material.
Members of the General Union of Hong Kong Speech Therapists were arrested Thursday (July 22) over three books the group published with political themes featuring conflicts between cartoon sheep and wolves, Li Kwai-wah, the senior police for national security, told reporters.
The suspects -- two men and three women in their 20s -- were detained before their union held Saturday reading sessions for children, Li said.
