2020

On 11 November 2020, 15 democratic lawmakers including Wu resigned en masse in protest of a decision made by the central government in Beijing the same day, authorizing the Hong Kong government to dismiss politicians who were deemed to be a threat under the

national security law promulgated in the city on 30 June 2020; the initial dismissal had concerned four democrats.

Wu said that the Beijing ruling was a declaration of the "official death" of the One country, two systems principle.

Wu was arrested on 1 November 2020, along with six other democratic councillors, in connection with a melee that broke out in the Legislative Council on 8 May 2020.

On that day, Starry Lee, the incumbent chair of the House Committee of the Legislative Council, had attempted to commence a meeting of the committee after extended stalling tactics of the pan-democratic camp over the previous months.

On 8 December 2020, Wu was arrested for allegedly inciting and participating in the unauthorized 1 July march that year.

Seven other democrats were arrested the same day on similar charges.

On 6 January 2021, Wu was among 53members of the pro-democratic camp who were arrested under the national security law, specifically its provision regarding subversion.

The group stood accused of organizing and/or participating in unofficial primary elections held by the camp in July 2020.

During the arrest, police allegedly found a BNO passport belonging to Wu, a breach of bail conditions for the illegal assembly charge, which included the surrender of all travel documents.

Wu was detained at a Correctional Services facility until a hearing on 8 January at West Kowloon Court.

At that hearing, Wu was found to have breached bail conditions, had his bail revoked, and was detained due to the magistrate seeing a substantial risk of Wu absconding.

On 7 May 2021, High Court judge Esther Toh granted Wu an emergency bail application to attend his father's funeral, in an appeal of the Correctional Services Department's earlier refusal.
