A leading Hong Kong pollster has been taken away by national security police for the second time in two weeks to help with an investigation into whether he or his organisation aided an absconder.
Robert Chung Ting-yiu, president of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, was escorted from his home to Wan Chai police station on Monday morning for questioning, the Post learned.
On January 13, officers from the National Security Department took him in to assist in the investigation linked to the institute’s former deputy executive director, Chung Kim-wah.
Chung, who moved to the United Kingdom in 2022, was among six wanted overseas-based activists named by police last month for allegedly contravening the national security law.
