Pro-democracy activists from Hong Kong, such as Finn Lau, continue to face violence, intimidation, and death threats even after seeking refuge in London. Despite escaping the oppressive regime that arrested them during the protests, they are subjected to harassment from groups aligned with Chinese authorities. Reports indicate a systematic effort to silence these activists, including financial sanctions on their families in Hong Kong and threats to their safety abroad. As the activism broadens, the safety of these individuals remains precarious.
"Fleeing from the violence of Hong Kong’s repression has not offered Hong Kong activists a safe haven in the UK; many face ongoing harassment and threats from Chinese authorities."
"Lau's experience highlights a worrying trend that even after fleeing to a new country, activists remain under the threat of violence and intimidation orchestrated by Beijing."
