Robert Chung told Reuters authorities arrived at his office late in the evening and he “negotiated” with police to try to understand the basis for the search warrant. He said police copied some information from computers but had not confiscated anything.“The police received a report from the public that the computer system of a polling organisation was suspected of being hacked and some personal information of the public was leaked,” they said in a statement.
The poll also showed support for the protest movement fading even as most people continued to voice support for its key demands, including universal suffrage and the resignation of Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam. Beijing imposed the national security legislation just before midnight on June 30, making crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces punishable with up to life in prison.
