Hong Kong Police Offer Large Bounties for Overseas Activists
• Hong Kong police have offered bounties up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of 5 overseas activists, including 1 American citizen, under China's national security law.
• The activists are accused of offenses like collusion with foreign powers and inciting secession for their pro-democracy activism.
• Over 260 people have been arrested under the national security law since 2020 when it was imposed by Beijing.
• Hong Kong authorities are seeking to cut access to the activists' finances by freezing and seizing their assets.
• The U.S. and UK strongly condemned Hong Kong's "bounty list" and threats against overseas dissidents as a disregard for human rights and international norms.
