Hong Kong Cancels Passports of Six Exiled Activists Under New Security Law

Authorities target pro-democracy figures in the UK, imposing travel and financial restrictions as part of a broader crackdown.

The six activists, including Nathan Law and Finn Lau, are accused of endangering national security.
The new measures prohibit financial support, business dealings, and property leases involving the activists.
Hong Kong's Security Bureau emphasizes these actions are necessary to combat external collusion and protect national security.
Critics argue the new laws are a form of transnational repression and undermine freedoms.
The affected activists claim the passport cancellations are largely symbolic, as many hold other travel documents.
