Police officers from the Regional Crime Unit of Hong Kong Island visited the apartment of the founder of "One Media" Group, Li Zhiying, Ho Man Tin, Kadoorie Road, and took him to the Kowloon City Police Station. The State Department issued a statement the following day saying it expressed concern over the arrest of Li Zhiying and two other democrats.

The United States Department of State stated in a statement: "We hope that the Hong Kong authorities will not selectively use law enforcement for political purposes, as well as fair and transparent, to uphold the rule of law and the general right of Hong Kong people to freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.

It is understood that the police will take prosecutions against Li Zhiying for allegedly intimidating media reporters in June 2017, and take statements on his alleged illegal participation in an anti-revision march on August 31, 2019. Two Democrat politicians, Li Zhuoren and Jansen, were also arrested.
