The Hong Kong Security Bureau has canceled the passports of 12 activists living overseas in a crackdown over their alleged involvement in an unofficial parliament. Authorities have also barred financial support and property leasing for 16 activists. The activists, including Chongyi Feng and Sasha Gong, are accused of subversion under the national security law due to their roles in a advocacy group.
