(UPDATE) CANBERRA: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday criticized Hong Kong authorities over their pursuit of two pro-democracy activists who now live in Australia.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee said on Tuesday that eight pro-democracy activists who now lived in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia would be pursued for life for alleged national security offenses, dismissing criticism that the move to have them arrested was a dangerous precedent.
