Pro-democracy activist arrested for violating bail conditions

On March 7, the Hong Kong police National Security Unit arrested Winnie Yu Wai-ming on suspicion of violating bail conditions, when she made comments online.

Yu, a nurse, is the founder and former chairwoman of the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance — a union for healthcare workers known for its pro-democracy stance.

She is one of the 47 activists charged with conspiracy to subvert state power for partaking a primary legislative council election in 2020.

Yu was among the few who secured bail in July 2021 on stringent conditions that she refrains from all acts and speeches that could endanger national security, as well as from contacting foreign government officials and legislators.
