Eight more pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong were arrested Tuesday for an unauthorized protest in July.

Police did not release names, but local media say the arrests include several former lawmakers.

Another eight were arrested Monday for the July protest against a Chinese national security law. The arrests come as China cracks down on opposition in Hong Kong.
