Hong Kong’s Security Bureau said it “severely condemns” Ho, Yuen and Leung, and police would “spare no efforts in pursuing the cases in accordance with the law in order to bring the offenders to justice.” Leung, who left Hong Kong on 2020, said the threat of arrest had made him more determined to make the parliament plan a reality, providing Hong Kongers around the world with a platform to be heard.
Ho said voting would be open to anyone who had lived in Hong Kong for at least seven years, and was over 16. Yuen said Toronto was also selected for having a large group of “financially more stable” Hong Kongers.
