Hong Kong has issued arrest warrants for eight individuals accused of national security offences, including two in Australia.

In 2019, Ted Hui was heavily involved in pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

The former opposition MP fled to Australia after National Security Laws were passed, and has remained outspoken about the crackdown on freedoms in Hong Kong.

Now, Hong Kong Police have offered a $200,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
