Hong Kong police have accused UK-based rights group Hong Kong Watch of "collusion with foreign forces," a "likely" violation of the China-imposed national security law, the group said on Monday.
In a March 10 letter seen by Reuters to Benedict Rogers, who heads the U.K.-based rights group, the Hong Kong Police said there were reasonable grounds for suspecting that Rogers and the group had carried content on their website "likely to constitute an offence endangering national security".
The letter didn't specify what content the authorities found problematic on the website (www.hongkongwatch.org), but included screen grabs of pages including one titled "Free Hong Kong Political Prisoners."
