Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and announced bounties for 19 overseas pro-democracy activists, accusing them of subversion under the national security law imposed by Beijing. The activists, many of whom are involved in the 'Hong Kong Parliament' group, are accused of organizing unofficial political activities abroad. Rewards of up to HK$200,000 are being offered for information leading to their arrest, marking the largest such action against exiled dissidents to date. The move has drawn strong condemnation from foreign governments, including the UK, who view it as an act of transnational repression and a threat to international legal norms. Critics argue that Hong Kong's actions are an attempt to silence dissent and intimidate activists even beyond its borders.
