Hong Kong adds five more democracy activists to overseas wanted list

HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s national security police issued arrest warrants on Thursday for five democracy activists living overseas in an attempt to ramp up efforts to silence critics beyond its borders.

Simon Cheng, Frances Hui, Joey Siu, Johnny Fok and Tony Choi are accused of alleged subversion, foreign collusion and secession, all offenses under a sweeping national security law that critics say has eroded freedoms and rights in the city.
