On Wednesday, the four men aged 26 to 28 were arrested by national security officials over suspicion of “conspiracy to collude with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security” and “conspiracy to doing acts with seditious intent,” a police statement said.
Hong Kong police arrested four men on Wednesday for allegedly supporting people living abroad who “endanger national security”, according to a statement.
The arrests came two days after authorities announced million-dollar bounties for the capture of eight prominent pro-democracy activists living overseas.
The eight include former pro-democracy lawmakers, activists and a unionist. They were put on a wanted list by Hong Kong police over various alleged national security crimes, sparking an international outcry.
The four men arrested Wednesday were accused of profiting from operating companies, social platforms and mobile applications to “support people who have fled overseas and continue to engage in activities that endanger national security”, the police statement said.
Authorities on Monday offered a HK$1 million (US$127,800) reward for each of the eight activists abroad to anyone providing information leading to their arrest or prosecution.
