Hong Kong police issue arrest warrant to 8 actvists

Hong Kong police on Monday accused eight overseas-based activists of serious national security offences including foreign collusion and incitement to secession and offered rewards for information leading to any 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
Issuing wanted notices and rewards of $127,656 each, police said the assets of the accused would be frozen where possible and they warned the public not to support them financially or face the risk of violating the law.
The activists are based in various places including the United States, Britain and Australia. They have been charged under a national security law that Beijing imposed on the former British colony in 2020, after the financial hub was rocked by protracted anti-China protests the previous year.
