Tai said they were each shown over 10 video clips of their alleged involvement in the pro-democracy protests at the police headquarters in Wan Chai, located on the northern shore of Hong Kong Island, as reported by the online newspaper.
Meanwhile, Tai alongside other activists, are to participate in the February 1 pro-democracy march in Hong Kong, the first since all the key protest sites were cleared by the local authorities in December.
“I have faith in Hong Kong’s rule of law system,” the newspaper quoted Tai as saying. He added that the Occupy leaders would continue to contribute to the efforts toward full suffrage in the region.
Prior to the co-founders’ arrests, pan-democratic lawmakers and students activists were arrested under similar accusations.
Protests in Hong Kong began in September 2014, after China announced that candidates for the 2017 elections, for a new chief executive, would be vetted by a standing committee loyal to Beijing.
Hong Kong’s sovereignty was transferred to China after over 100 years of British rule in 1997. The administrative region was granted legal, economic and political semi-autonomy from Beijing under China’s one "country, two systems" principle.
