Wanted Hong Kong activists in Britain decry ‘harassment’The activists fear for themselves abroad and their families back homeAFP, LONDONA heightened fear for their safety, increased worry for their families, and a desperate search for international support — this is what dominates everyday life for two activists in Britain who are among Hong Kong’s most wanted. Australian lawyer Kevin Yam, who is among eight overseas-based Hong Kong activists who have bounties on them by Hong Kong authorities for alleged breaches of a Hong Kong national security law, poses last month for a photo in Sydney, Australia. ‘HARASSING’ FAMILIES, COLLEAGUESAnna Kwok, 26, a Washington DC-based Hong Kong activist, who has been designated by the Hong Kong police as a fugitive with a HK$1 million dollar bounty offered for her arrest, is photographed on July 11 near the White House in Washington, DC, US. “I will remind myself... the burden on us is still much less than what the people in Hong Kong are bearing,” he said. “We are here to speak out the truth and what is really happening in Hong Kong, and (urge) the global community to implement a more assertive policy towards China and towards Hong Kong,” Law said.
