Speech therapists behind three children's books have been arrested on suspicion of inciting a backlash against Beijing. The five were paraded hooded and handcuffed in Hong Kong yesterday and face the prospect of years behind bars. Published by trade union the General Association of Hong Kong Speech Therapists, the books pit pro-democracy activists as sheep against wolves, said to represent China. 'Janitors of Sheep Village' explains to readers that action against litter-bug wolves refers to a medical workers' strike last year. In 'The 12 Braves of Sheep Village', sheep flee by boat, a reference to 12 Hong Kongers jailed for trying to escape by speedboat to Taiwan last year.
