Hong Kong police issue arrest warrants for 8 overseas activists, offering rewards
NBCMAY 2023
Law enforcement authorities in Hong Kong are taking the necessary measures within the law to dissuade infamous anti-China disruptors from engaging in activities endangering national security both at home and overseas. Fugitives have been put on the wanted list to defend national sovereignty, and their financial backers have been identified and detained.
Once a stable jurisdiction that respected the rule of law, Hong Kong has become an authoritarian state that operates with few legal restraints when it comes to crushing dissent at home and abroad. The likely ineffective cash bounty scheme on self-exiled dissidents and these subsequent arrests are just the latest signs of the deterioration of freedoms in the territory since the National Security Law came into force.
