Five members of a Hong-Kong based activist group that organised a mass pro-democracy rally last week, were arrested Friday reports The Independent.
The members of the Civil Human Rights Front, based in Hong-Kong, said that the charges, of violating traffic safety, they were arrested on were politically motivated.
"The government did not respond to the 510,000 people who took to the streets of Hong Kong and instead made political arrests of organizers," it said in a statement.
Police also arrested 511 people on Wednesday for illegal assembly, after student organisations held an overnight sit-in in the centre of the city.
