HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong’s security secretary said on Wednesday the government will not tolerate “subversive” acts, hours after authorities arrested dozens of pro-democracy activists in a dawn swoop. Secretary for Security John Lee, speaking at the city’s Legislative Council, confirmed a group of people had been arrested in an operation targeting people suspected of “overthrowing” the city’s government. Earlier, authorities arrested prominent pro-democracy advocates tied to an unofficial, independently organised vote in July 2020 to select opposition candidates for a since-postponed legislative election.
