Hong Kong activist Nathan Law’s mother evicted from public sector housing over rent arrears

People in public rented housing can also be evicted if they are found to have abused their tenancies by subletting.

Use of public sector housing for illegal activities or making a false declaration of income and assets are also grounds for eviction.

Law and five other opposition figures living in the UK are wanted by the Hong Kong police.

He was among eight opposition figures targeted last July with HK$1 million (US$128,000) bounties over alleged national security offences.

Chris Tang Ping-keung, the secretary for security, last week invoked powers granted under Hong Kong’s domestic national security law, which came into force in March, to cancel their passports.

He also warned that the government could prosecute people who financed six activists wanted on national security charges through any fundraising platforms.
