Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists living abroad, accusing them of subversion and involvement with the unofficial 'Hong Kong Parliament.' The move, enabled by Hong Kong's stringent national security law, 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. The targeted activists, many of whom reside in Western countries, face cash rewards for information leading to their arrest. Critics argue this is an attempt to silence dissent and intimidate the global Hong Kong diaspora. The controversy has heightened tensions between China and Western governments, who vow to support the rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers abroad.
