The South China Morning Post reported (December 27) that Hongkong Police is searching for nearly 30 people on suspicion of violating the national security law. They include self-exiled former lawmakers Ted Hui Chi-fung and Sixtus Baggio Leung Chung-hang. The force’s national security unit has so far arrested 40 people since the sweeping legislation was imposed by Beijing on June 30. It quoted a police insider as saying that “[Those on the wanted list] are Hongkongers, but they are not in the city. Most of them are now in Europe, the United States and Taiwan.”
