Hong Kong national security law: opposition groups moving funds overseas, digitising historical records ahead of impending legislation

The incident claimed to be “colluding with foreign forces” involved Demosisto lobbying for the passage of the US’ Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act sponsored by Marco Rubio.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Pro-democracy activist Agnes Chow, who left Hong Kong for Canada and won’t return to meet her bail conditions, said Thursday she felt still under the watch of the Chinese territory’s police even after moving to Toronto.

Chow, 27, is one of Hong Kong’s most prominent young activists and was arrested in 2020 under a Beijing-imposed national security law that was enacted following 2019 anti-government protests.

While she was not charged and was released on bail, police confiscated her passport before returning it to her this year under certain conditions, including a visit to mainland China with authorities.

Chow said in an interview with The Associated Press that Hong Kong’s national security police called her twice to ask her about her status after she left the city to pursue further studies in September.

The intimidation of Hong Kong dissidents like Chow reflected the severe erosion of the freedoms promised to the former British colony when it returned to China in 1997.

She said her trip showed the Hong Kong police were adopting more of the style of mainland Chinese authorities to “control” and “intimidate” political dissidents.

Not surprised she’s afraid, since India just had someone assassinated there.
