TL;DR Summary

Four men have been arrested in Hong Kong for allegedly supporting individuals abroad who "endanger national security," just two days after bounties were offered for eight pro-democracy activists living overseas. The arrests come in the wake of the controversial national security law imposed by Beijing. The individuals targeted by the bounties are based in countries without an extradition treaty with China, including the UK, the US, and Australia. The four arrested men face charges that could result in life imprisonment under the national security law.
