Hong Kong police have issued arrest warrants and bounties of $1 million Hong Kong dollars for six activists based overseas, accusing them of national security offences such as secession, subversion, and collusion with foreign forces. This latest move signals an ongoing crackdown on political dissent.
HONG KONG — Hong Kong police on Tuesday announced a fresh round of arrest warrants for six activists based overseas, with bounties set at $1 million Hong Kong dollars for information leading to their arrests.
The latest round of warrants signals that the Hong Kong government is targeting vocal critics based abroad. Chung, the former Studentlocalism leader, said in a story posted to Instagram that he was “honored” to be the first Hong Konger to be accused of violating the national security law twice. “How fragile, incompetent, and cowardly does a regime have to be to believe that I, a 19-year-old, ordinary Hongkonger, can 'endanger' and 'divide' the country? How panicked are they that they have to put a million-dollar bounty on me?” she asked.
