Human rights advocates in the UK condemned Hong Kong’s national security police on Monday after the force issued arrest warrants and bounties against eight exiled pro-democracy activists in the UK, the United States, and Australia.
Benedict Rogers, chief executive of Hong Kong Watch (HKW), and Mark Sabah, UK and EU Director of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, both condemned the targeting of activists and said it was “no coincidence” that the announcement came two days after the third anniversary of the imposition of the National Security Law in Hong Kong by Beijing.
