Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and offered cash bounties for information leading to the capture of 19 pro-democracy activists living overseas.
The activists are accused of subversion and involvement in an unofficial 'Hong Kong Parliament' group, which held online votes and advocated for democratic reforms. The move has been widely condemned by the UK and other Western governments as an act of transnational repression and a violation of international legal norms. Critics argue that Hong Kong, under Beijing's influence, is extending its crackdown on dissent beyond its borders, threatening free speech and political participation abroad.
The controversy has heightened tensions between China and countries hosting Hong Kong exiles, with calls to protect activists from foreign interference.
