HONG KONG - Hong Kong police on Monday accused eight overseas-based activists of serious national security offences including foreign collusion and incitement to secession, and offered rewards for information leading to any arrest.
Issuing wanted notices and rewards of HK$1 million each, police said the assets of the accused would be frozen where possible, and they warned the public not to support them financially or face the risk of violating the law. Some countries, including the US, say the law has been used to suppress the city’s pro-democracy movement and it has undermined rights and freedoms guaranteed under a “one country, two systems” formula, agreed when Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
“All they want to do is try to make a show of their view that the national security law has extra-territorial effect,” said Mr Yam, who police accused of meeting foreign officials to instigate sanctions against Hong Kong officials, judges and prosecutors.Hong Kong pro-democracy radio station closes in face of ‘dangerous’ pressurePolice told the press conference 260 people had been arrested the national security law, with 79 of them convicted of offences including subversion and terrorism.
