HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong police say three missing booksellers will be freed on bail as mainland Chinese authorities continue their investigation.
The announcement late Wednesday is the latest wrinkle in a case that's stoked fears Beijing is reneging on its promise to give the special Chinese region a high degree of control over its own affairs.
Police said they were informed by the public security department in neighboring Guangdong province that Lui Por, Cheung Chi-ping and Lam Wing-kee will be "released on bail pending investigation in the coming few days."
The three vanished in October and then reappeared Sunday along with a fourth man, Gui Minhai, to make televised confessions about illegally selling books to mainland Chinese buyers.
A fifth man, Lee Bo, was interviewed by the channel on Monday.
