Hong Kong police have offered a reward of up to 1 million Hong Kong dollars ($127,000) for information that would bring about the arrest of the prominent activists who fled the city’s expanding clampdown on dissent.
“I am an Australian citizen exercising my freedom of speech as an Australian in Australia to speak about a city that gave me everything, which I still love,” said Yam, a nonresident senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Asian Law.
. The legislation also explicitly stipulates that it applies to Hong Kong residents based outside of the region.The alleged violations, detailed on a police website, focus on advocacy by the activists from late 2020 to 2023, after they had left Chinese soil. The rewards were offered after the Hong Kong High Court recently approved search warrants.
“I am just a Hongkonger who speaks out for Hongkongers. I hope that all friends on the list are well, and I ask Hongkongers not to cooperate with any related pursuit or bounty actions. We should not limit ourselves, self-censor, be intimidated, or live in fear,” he said on Twitter. Such language will exacerbate tensions among overseas Hong Kongers and is “likely to precipitate unacceptable infringements of sovereignty,” said the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, an international group of lawmakers, in a statement.
