Prominent student activist Joshua Wong was arrested Friday morning in Hong Kong amid ongoing demonstrations in the city, according to a statement from his organization, Demosistō.
The group wrote in a Facebook post that Wong, 22, is being held on three charges after he was arrested while walking to a subway station.
Wong previously served time in jail for his role in Hong Kong’s 2014 pro-democracy movement.
“He has now been escorted to the police headquarters in Wan Chai on the basis of three charges. We will continue to follow the incident,” Demosistō said.
