ai generated text
The Hong Kong police have announced rewards of HK$1 million for information leading to the arrests of six pro-democracy activists living in the UK and Canada. The accused individuals include Tony Chung, the former leader of a pro-independence group who fled to the UK last year, and several others accused of violating the city's national security law. According to security secretary Chris Tang, the accused activists are accused of inciting secession and collaborating with foreign forces.
Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law and no one has extrajudicial privileges.
We call on the UK and Canadian governments to act immediately to push back against the Hong Kong government's attempts to threaten Hongkongers living in their countries.
I knew this day would come. From the moment I decided to leave Hong Kong, I was fully aware that I would not be able to return for a long time.
As a staunch advocate of Hong Kong nationalism, today's bounty arrest warrants are a recognition of my cause. I will continue to promote self-determination for Hong Kong residents, fearless and unwavering.
It is an honor to become the first Hongkonger to be charged twice under the National Security Law.
I just learned that I am now a wanted Hong Konger.
