Lam Cheuk-ting, left, and Ted Hu, right, argue with pro-Beijing politician Junius Ho during a demonstration of an anti-riot vehicle.Police said the arrests were related to two anti-government rallies last year: one on 6 July and the other on 21 July, the latter on a day that saw a notorious attack by government loyalists on protesters in the town of Yuen Long.
The Yuen Long attack, which was streamed live, was a defining moment of last year's pro-democracy protests.
