Hong Kong police have arrested senior members of the group that organised the city's annual Tiananmen Square massacre vigil, after it was accused of foreign collusion.

The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China said police arrived at the offices or residents of several members early on Wednesday morning. The arrests come amid increasing crackdown on political, professional and civil society groups, which the government has accused of unpatriotic conduct or national security offences.
