<p>We will not tolerate any attempt by any foreign power to intimidate, harass or
harm individuals or communities in the UK. Officials in Hong Kong, Beijing and London
have raised the issuing of arrest warrants and bounties for these individuals with
the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities. As the Foreign Secretary said on 14 December,
the Hong Kong Police are deliberately targeting individuals for exercising their right
to freedom of expression. We have called for the repeal of the National Security Law
and continue to make clear our strong objections, including to its extraterritorial
reach. That extends to the decisions by the Hong Kong Police to issue arrest warrants
and bounties for activists. We call on Beijing to repeal the National Security Law
and end its persecution of political activists.</p>
