Police’s National Security Department today announced that 19 people suspected of committing offences under the National Security Law have been put on the wanted list, with a reward in respect of each wanted person being offered.

These individuals are suspected of being involved in organising, establishing or participating in, outside Hong Kong, a subversive organisation named the “Hong Kong Parliament”, Police explained.

Among them, nine people, including male Yuan Gong-yi, male Victor Ho, male Fok Ka-chi, male Choi Ming-da, female Chan Lai-chun, male Feng Chongyi, female Gong Sasha, male Ng Man-yan and male Tsang Wai-fan allegedly organised, outside the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, a “Hong Kong Parliament” election to establish a so-called “Hong Kong Parliament”.

The other 10 people, including female Chin Po-fun, male Paul Ha, male Hau Chung-yu, male Ho Wing-yau, male Keung Ka-wai, male Tony Lam, female Agnes Ng, male Wong Chun-wah, male Wong Sau-wo and female Zhang Xinyan, are alleged to have participated as candidates in the “Hong Kong Parliament” election and, upon being elected, taken an oath to serve as so-called “members of the Hong Kong Parliament”.

Police said the “Hong Kong Parliament” aims to subvert state power - its objectives include promoting “self-determination”, promulgating a so-called “Hong Kong Constitution”, and overthrowing or undermining the basic system of the People’s Republic of China or overthrowing the body of the central power of the People’s Republic of China or the body of power of the Hong Kong SAR with unlawful means.

The 19 individuals are thereby suspected of committing the offence of subversion, contrary to Article 22 of the National Security Law, Police pointed out.

The force applied to the court for arrest warrants in accordance with the law and put the 19 people on the wanted list. The court then issued arrest warrants against the suspects.

Police remarked that Yuan Gong-yi, Victor Ho, Fok Ka-chi and Choi Ming-da, also suspected of committing offences endangering national security, have already been put on the wanted list with a reward of $1 million each. Exercising powers conferred by section 89 of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, the Secretary for Security, in June and December 2024, specified in the Gazette Yuan Gong-yi, Fok Ka-chi and Choi Ming-da as absconders, as well as the measures to be applied against them. Police stressed that they will continue to make every effort to bring all the wanted individuals to justice.

For the remaining 15 people, a reward of $200,000 in respect of each of them is being offered by Police to any member of the public who can provide information on the wanted people or related cases.

The investigation is ongoing, and more people will be put on the wanted list with rewards offered if necessary, Police added.

The force further noted that if an offender voluntarily discontinues the commission of the offence; voluntarily surrenders himself or herself and gives a truthful account of the offence; or reports on the offence committed by other persons or provides material information which assists in solving other criminal cases, a lighter penalty may be imposed, or the penalty may be reduced.

The above wanted individuals are urged to surrender to Hong Kong Police, so as to rectify their mistakes.

It is illegal for anyone, no matter in what ways, including through the Internet, to aid, abet or financially assist other people for participating in any illegal activities related to the “Hong Kong Parliament” or to commit other offences endangering national security, Police added.
