A Hong Kong-born democracy advocate and Adelaide lawyer has been targeted by a bounty letter offering a six-figure reward for his capture, in what appears to be an escalating campaign of intimidation against exiled dissidents.

Ted Hui received a letter at his Australian office claiming that he was wanted for national security offences and advocating for the independence of both Taiwan and Hong Kong.
