Hong Kong Authority Imposes #PropertyRestrainingOrder on Former Pro-democracy Legislator under #NationalSecurityLaw
#TedHui is a former pro-democracy legislator in Hong Kong wanted by the Hong Kong authority for violating the #NationalSecurityLaw. Hui is has been self exiled to Australia.
On April 8, 2022, he received notification from Hong Kong Police that the city's High Court has issued the Property Restraining Order to him, his wife and his mother under the Department of Justice. The Order is issued according to Clause 7 of Appendix 3 of National Security Law Chapter 43 to prohibit them from dealing with any assets in Hong Kong.
Hui said that the Order forbids them, in person or through agents, from selling, dealing or depreciating with any assets in Hong Kong. If they violate the Order, they can be sentenced for 5 years of imprisonment and a fine of $500,000, or assets be seized, for the ‘contempt of court’.
The Order also lists out their Hong Kong Bank Accounts and the balances; however, Hui said, the document announcing the Property Restraining Order, surprisingly, does not explain the grounds of imposing property restrain, the case nor the investigation involved.

National Security Department Offers Bounty for 8 Exiled Activists
Three years into the implementation of the National Security Law (#NSL), the National Security Department (#NSDepartment) announced that they are offering bounty for the arrest of eight exiled Hongkongers.
In a press conference on July 3, Chief Superintendent Li Kwai-wah said he has applied to the courts for an arrest warrant, with an award of up to 1 million dollars for information on the eight wanted Hongkongers. The eight are: lawyer #KevinYam News commentator #ElmerYuen, Director of Hong Kong Democratic Council (#HKDC) #AnnaKwok, #FinnLau, #MungSiuTat, Former LegCo member #DennisKwok, #TedHui, and #NathanLaw.
The police displayed black-and-white photos of the eight in the conference, announcing their offenses one by one, and criticising their threats to the national security.
Li also mentioned that some "Anti-China rioters" are exiled but continue endangering national security. He quoted the 37th and 38th Ordinance under NSL, emphasising the regulation has an extraterritorial effect, regardless of whether the person is a Hong Kong permanent resident.
