Hong Kong police order arrest of exiled activists: China state media

Source: france 24

Hong Kong police have ordered the arrest of six pro-democracy activists living in exile on suspicion of violating the national security law, Chinese state media reported late Friday, but the city's force refused to comment.

The six included prominent young campaigner Nathan Law, 27, who recently relocated to Britain after fleeing Hong Kong.

Besides Law, the other activists sought include former British consulate staffer Simon Cheng, pro-independence activists Ray Wong, Wayne Chan, Honcques Laus, and Samuel Chu, according to CCTV.

Just these six? Why not include Jacinda Ardern, Boris Johnson and Dalai Lama for violation of "National Security Law"?

On a side note, Samuel Chu is one of the “wanted” activist - an US citizen advocating better lives for other US citizens.

This should mark the first time an US citizen has been “wanted” by Hong Kong police due to the security law.
