A total of 4 trustees of the defunct "612 Humanitarian Support Fund" were arrested for two consecutive days. Following the arrest of Xu Baoqiang, one of the trustees, at the airport yesterday (10th) by the State Police Department, they were arrested again this evening (11th). The other three trustees, including Cardinal Chen Rijun, Emeritus Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, Barrister Wu Aiyi, and singer He Yunshi, were brought under the sign for the crime of "conspiracy to collude with foreign forces or foreign forces to endanger national security".
All arrested persons were subsequently released on bail pending investigation.
By 11:00 late tonight, Chen Rijun, Wu Aiyi and Ho Yunshi left the police station one after another.
After being arrested this evening, Chen Rijun, Wu Aiyi and Ho Yunshi were taken back to Chai Wan Police Station, Wan Chai Police Station and Western District Police Station respectively.
Among them, Chen Rijun was arrested for the first time.
Leung Ka Kit, SC and Civic Party chairman, went to Chai Wan Police Station to learn about the incident.
At about 11:00 p.m., Leung Ka-kit first left the Chai Wan Police Station, and then at about 11:15 p.m., Chen Rijun stepped out of the police station.
The 90-year-old Chen Rijun was seen leaving the Chai Wan Police Station accompanied by two priests. Since it was raining at the scene, the bystanders held an umbrella for him to shield him from the wind and rain.
In the meantime, Chen Rijun waved to the media present, but did not speak, and then he boarded a private car and left.
