Hong Kong Issues Arrest Warrants for Activists Abroad

Hong Kong police have issued new arrest warrants for six pro-democracy activists living abroad, including two Canadians, offering a bounty of one million Hong Kong dollars for information leading to their capture. The charges against them include secession, subversion, and collusion with foreign entities, as part of an ongoing crackdown on dissent under the national security law. The wanted activists include notable figures such as Tony Chung, Carmen Lau, and Chloe Cheung, who have vowed to continue their fight for democracy despite the threats. The UK government has condemned Hong Kong's actions, emphasizing its commitment to protecting the rights of Hong Kongers abroad and calling for the repeal of the national security law. This latest development raises the total number of individuals wanted by Hong Kong authorities to 19, as they continue to target exiled activists. Critics argue that these measures exemplify the Hong Kong government's efforts to intimidate and suppress dissent globally.
