Hong Kong Strengthens Crackdown on Overseas Activists | JQJO

Hong Kong authorities intensified their crackdown on 16 overseas-based activists, previously targeted with bounties for alleged national security threats. Measures include banning financial support, canceling passports for 12, and prohibiting property dealings. These activists, accused of inciting hatred against Beijing and Hong Kong, are residing in various countries including the U.K., U.S., and Canada. The actions, taken under Hong Kong's national security law, risk up to seven years imprisonment for violators and have drawn criticism from several foreign governments.
