Two of Nathan Law’s ex-partymates released on bail

Two former members of the now-defunct Demosisto political party were released on bail on Saturday after they were arrested for allegedly financing fugitive Nathan Law Kwun-chung. 

The two are Chan Kok-hin and Lily Wong Lei-lei, both 29, who were executives of the party. 

They were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and conspiracy to act with seditious intention. 

Police said on Saturday that the two arrestees were released on bail. They must report to police in early September. 

Police earlier said the two were arrested for using funds raised on the “yellow camp” shopping reward platform, Mee-Punish Club, to finance Law, who is now in the UK. 

That followed police’s previous operation to smash the platform and arrest another five people. 

So far, seven people have been arrested by police in relation to the Mee platform. 

Law left Hong Kong for the UK on June 27, 2020, days before the national security law came into effect. 

Earlier this month, police issued a HK$1 million bounty on him and seven other fugitives, including lawmaker Eunice Yung Hoi-yan’s father-in-law, Elmer Yuen Gong-yi.
