Former Confederation of Trade Unions leaders brought in for questioning by Hong Kong national security police

Four one-time leaders of what was formerly the city’s biggest opposition-leaning trade union have been taken in for questioning by national security police after the disbanded group was accused of breaching a law governing the registration of local organisations.

The four members of the Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU), which folded in October, had failed to respond to a series of questions issued by the National Security Department last month regarding the organisation’s operations and finances, as well as its subordinate groups and their links to foreign entities.
