Authorities call upon the father of the activist connected to the alleged 'Hong Kong Parliament Rebellion'
In Hong Kong, the national security police have launched an investigation into Canadian-based activist, Alan Keung Ka-wai, for his involvement with the "Hong Kong Parliament," a group deemed subversive by authorities. The investigation is centred around allegations that Keung attempted to subvert state power through activities such as promoting self-determination and formulating a so-called Hong Kong constitution[1][2][4].
Keung, who was the chairman of the Taiwan-based advocacy group, Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, finds himself in hot water as four local members of the same group were arrested last month for conspiring to subvert state power[1][2][4]. The police have issued an arrest warrant for Keung and included him among 15 activists who each have a HK$200,000 (about US$25,477) bounty on them due to their roles in an overseas election organized by the "Hong Kong Parliament" in May 2025[1][2][5].
The investigation has seen Keung's birth father, Koo, summoned by the national security police to Tin Shui Wai Police Station, where he reported in the morning[1][2][4]. Koo was seen leaving the police station around noon, but no further details about the nature of the investigation or the specific allegations against Keung were provided in the article[1][2][4].
The "Hong Kong Parliament" is a group led by self-exiled activists and is accused of promoting "self-determination" and formulating a so-called Hong Kong constitution[1][2][3]. The group's activities have been deemed subversive by authorities in Hong Kong.
Concerns have been raised about the potential risk of kidnapping or extraterritorial prosecution, given that Keung is based in Canada. Canadian officials have condemned the Hong Kong arrest order, describing it as a threat to Canadian sovereignty and security[5].
The Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union is not specified as a subversive group in the article. The ages of the arrested members range from 15 to 47. The investigation remains active, with Keung himself abroad and his family members questioned locally to aid the investigation. Arrest warrants and bounty rewards have been issued, indicating a serious and ongoing enforcement effort against him and associates[1][2][4][5].

The investigation into Alan Keung Ka-wai, a Canadian-based activist, has expanded to include general-news topics such as politics and crime-and-justice, as he is accused of attempting to subvert state power through activities related to the Hong Kong Parliament. This parliament, deemed subversive by authorities, is also linked to the Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, for which Keung was the chairman and four local members were arrested last month on similar charges.
