Hong Kong police searched the family home of exiled pro-democracy activist Nathan Law on Tuesday morning, taking relatives away for questioning, the city’s public broadcaster RTHK reported, citing sources

It came just a week after police placed HK$1 million bounties on information leading to the arrest of Law and seven other prominent activists in self-imposed exile, in a move strongly condemned by rights groups and Western governments. National security police visited the Tung Chung housing estate where Law’s family live, and took away his parents and elder brother for questioning to find out whether they provided financial assistance to Law, RTHK reported, citing police sources.

Speaking to reporters last week, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee said the eight activists would be pursued by the city’s authorities for life and anyone with information on them, including their families, should hand it over to police, according to RTHK. The only way the eight can escape living in fear of arrest every day of their lives is to turn themselves in, added Lee, a former police officer and security chief.
