Activist and barrister Chow Hang Tung of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China was arrested along with three others, the group said.
“I want to tell Hong Kongers that we need to continue to resist, don't surrender to the unreasonable power quickly and easily," Chow told media on Tuesday when she went to police headquarters to tell officers she would not provide information they had requested.
Police sent a letter to the alliance in August requesting information about its membership, finances and activities by Sep 7, according to a copy the group sent to reporters.
The letter accused the alliance of being "an agent of foreign forces". Failure to provide the information by the deadline could result in a HK$100,000 (US$12,800) fine and six months in jail, the letter said.
The National Security Department said it had arrested three men and one woman, aged 36 to 57, for failing to comply with national security law requirements. It did not identify them.
The department said investigations were ongoing and it did not rule out further arrests.
The national security law punishes what authorities broadly refer to as secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison.
