Activist Nathan Law flees Hong Kong

Young democracy activist Nathan Law announced on Thursday that he fled overseas in response to a sweeping security law imposed by Beijing. "I have already left Hong Kong and continue the advocacy work on the international level," Law said on Facebook. "Based on risk assessment, I shall not reveal too much about my personal whereabouts and situation now." The security law, which took effect Tuesday night, targets secessionist, subversive or terrorist acts, as well as collusion with foreign forces intervening in the city's affairs.
