Hong Kong police have arrested eight people who participated in an unauthorized demonstration at a university last month.
The police announced on Monday that the eight joined the illegal protest at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They include district councilors who graduated from the university, and high school students.
The police also said that three of the people are also suspected of shouting slogans calling for Hong Kong's independence -- a violation of the National Security Law that allows crackdowns on anti-government acts.
The demonstration took place on campus while a graduation ceremony was held online to prevent coronavirus infections.
Nearly 100 people in black gowns took part in the demonstration, shouting pro-democracy slogans such as "Fight for freedom."
The university reported the rally to the police and officers entered the campus to investigate. Critics say the university took the side of the authorities.
Arrests on charges of chanting slogans for Hong Kong's independence or displaying flags for the cause have been continuing since the National Security Law came into force in June.

A capsule released by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's space probe Hayabusa2 arrived at a lab near Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday. Officials held a news conference during which they thanked the public for warmly welcoming back the capsule.
The capsule is believed to contain samples from the Ryugu asteroid. It was retrieved after landing in an Australian desert on Sunday and arrived at Haneda Airport in Tokyo on Tuesday morning.
Tsuda Yuichi, the project manager of Hayabusa2, said he was touched when he realized that the capsule had traveled more than 5 billion kilometers.
Kuninaka Hitoshi, the head of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, said that the coronavirus pandemic forced them to briefly consider postponing the return of the capsule.
But he said they succeeded as a result of their determination to continue despite the circumstances. He also said they hope to analyze the samples thoroughly in order to derive as much scientific value from them as possible.
Analysis of the samples, which could provide clues on the origin of life, is expected to start in June.

Key words : one year

It has been a year since the first person confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus in Wuhan, China, is believed to have begun exhibiting symptoms.
Chinese authorities have said the person developed pneumonia on December 8, 2019.
One year later, it is still unclear where the virus came from and how it was transmitted to humans.
In February, Chinese government experts said the virus is likely to have originated in bats and jumped to humans via pangolins.
But they later suggested the virus was detected in food imports, so they couldn't rule out the possibility that it was brought in from abroad.
In July, the World Health Organization sent an investigative team to Beijing as part of efforts to identify the origin of the virus. But they have yet to conduct a detailed survey in Wuhan.
There has been concern from the international community about what seems to be China's uncooperative stance on exploring the cause of the virus.

Public health authorities in Taiwan's Kaohsiung have imposed a fine on a foreign worker for stepping out of his hotel room for 8 seconds during a coronavirus quarantine.
The authorities say the worker from the Philippines left his hotel room without permission on November 19 during his mandatory 14-day quarantine. They say he stepped out to give something to his friend in the adjacent room.
Security camera footage shows that the man was in the hallway for 8 seconds.
Public health officials say he knew he wasn't allowed to leave. They fined him 100,000 Taiwanese dollars, or about 3,600 US dollars.
Taiwan imposes a 14-day quarantine on travelers from abroad, including its citizens.
Penalties have been given to people who breached quarantine rules in 19 cases in Kaohsiung alone since last month.
Taiwanese authorities say no new domestic cases of coronavirus infection have been confirmed for nearly eight months, but cases among travelers from abroad are on the rise.
