Seven Hong Kong policemen have been arrested in connection with the beating of a pro-democracy protester. A police statement said the officers, who had already been suspended, were detained on suspicion of "assault resulting in grievous body harm". The incident took place on 15 October during clashes when police cleared an underpass by the Admiralty camp. Civic Party protester Ken Tsang was filmed being led away in handcuffs and beaten for several minutes. Local TV network TVB later aired footage of his assault, and Mr Tsang's lawyer said that the beatings had continued after he was taken to a police station. The authorities suspended the officers and launched an investigation shortly after the clip was aired.
