The father of wanted activist Simon Cheng Man-kit was taken away by the national security police for questioning on Wednesday, according to sources.

Cheng’s father was taken to Castle Peak Police Station in Tuen Mun to help with the investigation this morning.

It was learned that no arrest has been made.

Cheng, a former British consulate staffer, and four other Hong Kong activists are the latest to be put on the fugitive list by national security police, and each has a bounty of HK$1 million for their arrest.

The five allegedly committed offenses including incitement to subvert state power and collusion with foreign forces.
