Australian PM calls HK bounty on activists ‘unacceptable’ FMTNews FMTWorld
SYDNEY: Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday it was “unacceptable” that Hong Kong has put bounties on two Australian residents who are among eight overseas democracy activists wanted under a national security law.
Hong Kong police have offered rewards of HK$1 million for information leading to the arrest of the eight, including Melbourne lawyer and Australian citizen Kevin Yam, and former Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui, who has lived in Australia since 2021. The Hong Kong activists are accused of asking foreign powers to impose sanctions on Hong Kong and China, and are wanted under a national security law that Beijing imposed on the former British colony in 2020.
