HONG KONG, JUL 25 – Hong Kong national security police accuse 19 overseas activists of subversion for holding a 2022 unlawful election and virtual swearing-in, offering bounties up to HK$1 million.
- Hong Kong's national security police have issued arrest warrants for 19 overseas activists and offered bounties of up to HK$1 million for their alleged involvement in a pro-democracy group called Hong Kong Parliament, which the authorities accused of violating the Beijing-imposed security law.

- Political dissent in Hong Kong has been quashed since Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law in 2020 after huge pro-democracy protests the year before, with many opposition figures fleeing abroad or being arrested and sentenced to years in jail.
