Hong Kong police on Thursday arrested veteran union leader Elizabeth Tang after she visited her pro-democracy activist husband who is jailed at a high security prison, according to a source close to the couple and domestic media.
Tang is the General Secretary of the International Domestic Workers Federation and the former chief executive of the now disbanded Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU).
The CTU was Hong Kong's largest opposition trade union coalition that dissolved in 2021 after several members received messages threatening their safety, the group said at the time.
