Would you betray a neighbour for £100k? China wants to know

Melbourne residents have been sent a letter in the style of a police appeal as Beijing hunts for Kevin Lam, a pro-democracy Hong Kong lawyer who fled to the city

Kevin Yam was wanted on suspicion of “a range of national security-related offences”, the anonymous letter read.

The letter in the style of a police appeal was sent to residents in the suburbs of Melbourne, seeking the whereabouts of a dissident Hong Kong lawyer living in their midst.

“A reward of one million Hong Kong dollars is being offered by Hong Kong Police to any member of the public who can provide information on this wanted person and the related crime,” it added.
