Hong Kong leader says 8 overseas activists will be ‘pursued for life’

Hong Kong chief executive John Lee said on Tuesday eight overseas-based Hong Kongactivists who were issued with arrest warrants for alleged national security offences, would be “pursued for life”.
“The only way to end their destiny of being an abscondee who will be pursued for life is to surrender,” Lee told reporters.
Hong Kong police issued arrest warrants for the eight overseas-based activists on Monday, accusing them of national security offences, including foreign collusion and incitement to secession, and offered rewards for information leading to their arrest.
The accused are activists Nathan Law, Anna Kwok and Finn Lau, former lawmakers Dennis Kwok and Ted Hui, lawyer and legal scholar Kevin Yam, unionist Mung Siu-tat, and online commentator Yuan Gong-yi
The police also offered rewards of HK$1 million ($127,656) for information leading to each possible arrest.
The activists are based in several countries, including the United States, Britain and Australia.
