Wanted Hong Kong activist’s relatives taken for questioning

Hong Kong national security police on Tuesday took away exiled activist Nathan Law’s parents and brother for questioning, one week after the police issued an arrest warrant and a bounty on Law..
Local media, citing unnamed sources, said Law’s relatives were taken away from their homes for questioning, then released.
The Hong Kong police gave no immediate response to a request for comment. Law declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
Law is among eight overseas-based activists who were issued with arrest warrants last week by the Hong Kong police for alleged offences under a national security law that China imposed in Hong Kong in 2020.
This was the first time that relatives of an activist have been questioned after the issuance of the warrants and a bounty of HK$1 million for information leading to any arrests.
Hong Kong’s leader John Lee said recently that the eight activists should be treated like “street rats” that people should avoid or report on. Law publicly severed ties with his family in Hong Kong in August 2020, and was granted political asylum in Britain two years ago.
