Hong Kong police said the men were detained on 'suspicion of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and commit acts with seditious intent.'
. In a statement, Hong Kong police said the men were detained on"suspicion of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and commit acts with seditious intent."
On Tuesday, Hong Kong police had put out massive bounties - $1 million Hong Kong dollars, or about $128,000 U.S. dollars - for information leading to the arrest of those eight pro-democracy voices - including Finn Lau himself, Nathan Law, also in London, and former pro-democracy lawmakers Ted Hui and Dennis Kwok. Hong Kong's leader said they would all be"pursued for life," emphasizing the National Security Law's extraterritorial reach.
Shortly after Hong Kong's bounties were announced, Cleverly released a statement saying"We will not tolerate any attempts by China to intimidate and silence individuals in the UK and overseas. The UK will always defend the universal right to freedom of expression and stand up for those who are targeted."
