SYDNEY: An Australian lawyer with a bounty on his head from the Hong Kong authorities, said on Thursday (Jul 6) he was being pursued for 'exercising my democratic rights' in a crackdown on free speech. Kevin Yam, 47, is one of
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday that Yam and the seven others were"fugitives" who had urged sanctions on Hong Kong and"long been engaged in anti-China activities".
Western government and activists say the law has been used to crush dissent in the former British colony. China and Hong Kong say it was necessary to restore stability in the financial hub. The Law Society of Hong Kong said in a statement it was investigating a national security complaint about a member as a result of the eight arrest warrants, a reference that Yam said was to him.
Yam said he started speaking out about the rule of law in Hong Kong and the crackdown because his friends were in jail.
