Hong Kong is increasing its crackdown on political dissent. It is offering a reward of 1 million Hong Kong dollars (110,000 Euros) each for information that leads to the arrest of eight exiled pro-democracy activists. Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee warned the prominent activists on Tuesday that they would “live in fear” unless they hand themselves in. They would be pursued even in the foreign countries where they have found refuge, he said. The Chinese government, too, is accusing the seven men and one woman of anti-China activities and of seeking to destabilize Hong Kong. Why are Hong Kong authorities issuing these warrants now?
