HONG KONG (Reuters): A Hong Kong pro-democracy activist was re-arrested on suspicion of making remarks endangering national security after being released on bail last year in a case in which he faces charges of "conspiracy to commit subversion" with 46 other activists.

Owen Chow, 24, was released on bail in June 2021 after nearly four months in detention, on the conditions of not breaking the security law, reporting to police every day and surrendering all travel documents, among others.
