Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists living overseas, accusing them of subversion under the national security law imposed by Beijing.
The police are offering rewards of up to HK$1 million for information leading to their capture, with 15 new bounties announced in addition to four previous ones. The targeted activists are accused of participating in the 'Hong Kong Parliament,' an unofficial group formed abroad to advocate for democratic reforms. This move marks the largest group yet to be targeted under the law and demonstrates Hong Kong's willingness to pursue dissidents beyond its borders.
Critics warn that the extra-territorial reach of these actions threatens free speech and political participation internationally.
