The Canadian government has strongly condemned Hong Kong authorities for issuing arrest warrants targeting pro-democracy activists residing overseas. The crackdown affects individuals, including Canadians and those connected to Canada, prompting a stern response from Canadian officials.
Hong Kong, under Beijing's National Security Law, has broadened its reach by issuing warrants for 19 overseas activists, accusing them of subversion. This marks the largest number of such warrants issued, heightening international criticism.
Canada has declared these actions, perceived as transnational repression, unacceptable. The statement underscores Canada's unwavering opposition to any form of threats or coercion against Canadians or individuals within Canada.
