He was accused of "disturbing social order by gathering people". Sun Tingting, who graduated from Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2016 and then worked as a social worker in Panyu University City, Guangzhou, was also apprehended by public security authorities for talking about the '4 June incident'.
