Hong Kong's national security police have issued arrest warrants for 19 overseas pro-democracy activists, accusing them of subversion under the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020. The individuals targeted are members of the so-called "Hong Kong Parliament," including American media figure Gong Xiaoxia. Among the 19, four activists—Yuen Kwong-yee, Ho Leung-mau, Fok Ka-chi, and Choi Ming-ta—were previously wanted for other national security offenses with bounties of HK$1 million (approximately US$127,000). The remaining 15 activists now have bounties of HK$200,000 each for information leading to their arrest. The announcement marks the largest number of overseas activists targeted under the law to date. The move has drawn condemnation from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, who criticized the issuance of rewards for the capture of pro-democracy activists living abroad, particularly those residing in their countries.
