Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the UK “will not tolerate” the Chinese regime’s attempts to silence overseas dissidents after Hong Kong national security police put out arrest warrants and bounties against eight pro-democracy activists in exile.

The Chinese embassy accused the UK of “sheltering wanted criminals” and interfering with “the rule of law” and China’s internal politics.
