Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists living overseas, accusing them of subversion and national security crimes for their involvement in the unofficial 'Hong Kong Parliament.' The move has sparked strong condemnation from the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, who accuse Hong Kong and Beijing of transnational repression and undermining international legal norms. Several of the targeted activists are citizens or residents of these Western countries, raising concerns about state sovereignty and the safety of exiled dissidents. Hong Kong officials defend the action as necessary for national security, while critics argue it is an attempt to silence dissent and intimidate the global pro-democracy movement. The controversy highlights escalating tensions between China and Western nations over human rights and political freedoms in Hong Kong.
