Hong Kong Issues Mass Arrest Warrants for Overseas Activists | JQJO

Hong Kong authorities issued arrest warrants for 19 overseas-based activists, the largest such action yet, accusing them of subversion under the national security law. The activists, including businessman Elmer Yuen and commentator Victor Ho, allegedly participated in the pro-democracy "Hong Kong Parliament." Authorities claim the group aimed to subvert state power, with some facing rewards up to HK$1 million. The UK and Australia condemned the move as transnational repression, while China defended its actions as upholding the rule of law. Police urged the wanted individuals to surrender, offering potential reduced sentences.
