Hong Kong City Leader John Lee called on the public to assist police, adding that even the activists' 'relatives and friends' could be informants.
Police on Monday offered rewards of HK$1 million each for information leading to the arrests of eight prominent democracy activists based abroad, accusing them of crimes such as subversion and colluding with foreign forces.
All eight fled Hong Kong after Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on the financial hub in 2020 to quell dissent after huge, sometimes violent pro-democracy protests in 2019 were quashed. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller condemned the bounties as part of China's"transnational repression efforts" and called for them to be withdrawn.
"The UK will always defend the universal right to freedom of expression and stand up for those who are targeted." Meanwhile, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said her government was"deeply disappointed" by the bounties.
