Hong Kong Police has announced bonuses on Friday for information that leads to the arrest of 19 activists abroad for their roles, while they called it a sabotage organization abroad, accusing them of violating the National Security Law imposed by Beijing.

“The targeted individuals yesterday (Friday) under the National Security Law imposed by Beijing in Hong Kong include Canadians and people with close relationships with Canada,” she said in the statement in the statement.

Among the 19 activists, the police already offered a million dollars from Hong Kong ($ 127,400) for information that leads to the arrest of Yuen, HO, FOK and Choi when the previous arrest orders were issued against them. For the remaining 15 people, bonuses of $ 200,000 were offered by Hong Kong ($ 25480), and urged residents to provide information about the case or people.

“The investigation is still ongoing. If necessary, the police will provide rewards to search for more suspects in the case,” the police said.

They also called on those who wanted to stop their behavior while they are still able, saying they hope that activists will take this opportunity to return to Hong Kong and hand over themselves, rather than making more mistakes. “

Yuen said in a broadcast on Facebook Live that the elections were not completely successful in drawing active participation, and that the police campaign will help the group support the resistance movement.

“It helps us a lot of ads,” Yuen said.

During direct chat with Yuen on Facebook, Sasha Gong, another person targeting bonuses, Hong Kong, accused a police state. She said that she is an American citizen and will report her case to American authorities and legislators.

The statement issued by Global Affairs Canada describes how Hong Kong authorities use digital means to infiltrate Chinese societies abroad and in Canada to publish the word published rewards.

The statement says: “The quick response mechanism was discovered Canada that these rewards are amplified in an unreliable and coordinated way, through an online network of accounts targeting Chinese -speaking societies.”

“The measures taken by Hong Kong threaten the sovereignty of Canada and the security of people in this country.”

UK Foreign Minister David Lami and Interior Minister Evit Cooper said in a joint statement that orders for people living in Britain are “another example of oppression across patriotism”, and that the law encourages reckless behavior on UK soil.

Over the past two years, the Hong Kong authorities have issued arrest orders for various activists abroad, including former lawmakers supporting democracy, Nathan Lu and Ted Hui. They also canceled the passports of some of them under a modern security law submitted in the city last year.

The moves against activists abroad have extracted foreign governments, especially given that the former British colony has promised that civil freedoms in Western style and semi -horse remain intact for at least 50 years when they returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

In March, the United States approved six Chinese officials and Hong Kong who claimed to be involved in “national repression” and actions that threaten the erosion of the city’s autonomy.

But Beijing and Hong Kong insist that national security laws are necessary for the stability of the city. Hong Kong police confirmed that the law imposed by Beijing applies to the permanent population of Hong Kong who violate it abroad.

Caring for the American move, China said in April that it would punish US, legislative officials and leaders of NGOs that say it is “bad performance” in Hong Kong issues.
