HK police issue arrest warrants for eight overseas-based activists

 

The Hong Kong police have reportedly issued arrest warrants for eight overseas-based activists. The individuals are accused of violating the national security law imposed by Beijing. 

The authorities claim that these activists have been promoting or advocating for Hong Kong independence, which is deemed a violation of the law. The move by the Hong Kong police is likely to further fuel concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and freedom of expression in the region.
