The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted the anti-government protests that gripped Hong Kong for much of last year. However, the tension that triggered the unrest hasn't gone away. Police arrested 15 leading activists and accused them of organising and taking part in unlawful protests last year. They include Martin Lee, known as Hong Kong's 'Father of Democracy'. The arrests follow comments by mainland China's liason office in Hong Kong that it has the right to supervise the city's affairs. Could the developments trigger more turmoil?
