On the morning of 29 December, Ho was taken from her Hong Kong home as one of seven people arrested in a raid – including at least five pro-democracy journalists.
Those taken by authorities face accusations of “conspiracy to publish seditious material” via Stand News, a pro-democracy media outlet in the region.
The alleged crime is punishable by up to two years in jail and and a fine of up to 5,000 Hong Kong dollars ($640). “This morning, the police arrested a number of senior and former senior staff of the company, [and] took many people away to assist in the investigation,” read a statement from Stand News posted to Facebook.
