Hong Kong’s Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) has apparently removed several dramas starring former entertainer Joe Tay King-kei from its online platforms after the city’s authorities placed a bounty on his head, accusing him of inciting secession and colluding with foreign forces.
The 62-year-old Tay is one of six overseas pro-democracy Hong Kong activists wanted on charges of “inciting secession,” “subversion of state power,” and “collusion with foreign countries or overseas forces endangering national security” under the Beijing-imposed National Security Law (NSL). The Hong Kong authorities issued arrest warrants on Dec. 24, and a bounty of HK$1 million (US$129,000) offered for information leading to their arrests.
