The Hong Kong government has escalated its crackdown on pro-democracy activists by invoking a new national security law to cancel the passports of six activists living in exile, including prominent figure Nathan Law. This unprecedented move marks the first time the authorities have used the law to target dissidents outside its borders, labeling them as 'lawless wanted criminals' and barring them from any business dealings or financial transactions within Hong Kong. The affected activists, who are currently based in the UK, have been vocal critics of the Hong Kong government and the Chinese Communist Party's increasing encroachment on the city's freedoms and autonomy. This action has raised concerns about the extraterritorial reach of the national security law and its implications for Hong Kongers living abroad.
