Hong Kong police have issued arrest warrants for eight overseas activists, accusing them of contravening the city’s national security law and offering a reward of HK$1m (£100,700) per person.
Supt Steve Li Kwai-wah, a police officer, told a press conference on Monday that Nathan Law, Anna Kwok, Finn Lau, Dennis Kwok, Ted Hui, Kevin Yam, Mung Siu-tat and Yuan Gong-yi, high-profile pro-democracy activists, former lawmakers and legal scholars, “have encouraged sanctions … to destroy Hong Kong”, according to Reuters.
