Hong Kong Offers Bounty for Wanted Activists

News summary

The Hong Kong government has intensified its crackdown on pro-democracy activists by placing bounties of HKD 1 million on six individuals accused of national security violations, including inciting secession and collusion with foreign forces. The newly targeted activists include Carmen Lau, Tony Chung, and Joseph Tay, among others, as part of the government's ongoing efforts to suppress dissent since the national security law was implemented in 2020. Additionally, seven absconders in exile, primarily in the United States and Australia, have been identified, and measures such as the cancellation of passports and prohibitions on financial dealings have been enacted against them. Critics argue that these actions represent a continued erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong, with the government justifying the measures as necessary for national security. This recent escalation raises the total number of wanted individuals to 19, amid global concerns over the repression of dissent in Hong Kong. Activists have vowed to continue their fight for democracy despite the threats posed by these bounties and warrants.
