Elizabeth Tang, a veteran Hong Kong labor activist and current general secretary of the International Domestic Worker Union, was arrested in Hong Kong outside Stanley Prison on March 9, 2023, after she visited her husband, Lee Cheuk Yan, the head of the now-dissolved Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions and former chairman of the civil society group Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HK Alliance).
The city’s security police authorities accused her of “collusion with foreign forces.” Tang was released two days later, on March 11, on a bail amount of HK$200,000 (approximately US$25,500), while her passport, mobile phone, bank cards, and credit cards were all seized.
