Authorities in Hong Kong on Aug. 4 canceled the passports of 12 activists based overseas, 10 days after arrest warrants were issued, accusing them of subversion under a national security law.

On July 25, a total of 19 activists were accused of organizing, establishing, or taking part in a group called the “Hong Kong Parliament.”
