Sum Wan-wah

Sum Wan-wah is a Hong Kong bookseller who was among five individuals arrested by national security police on suspicion of sedition. The arrests followed raids on two independent bookshops, including 'Have a Nice Stay' in Prince Edward. Sum, aged between 30 and 59, was released on bail two days after the arrests, pending further investigation. The bookstore 'Have a Nice Stay' subsequently closed six weeks after the police raid, having operated for four years. The closure drew significant public attention, with long queues of customers visiting on its final day. This situation highlights the impact of national security measures on independent businesses and freedom of expression in Hong Kong.
