Chinese authorities surveil remote student activists

A new report finds that Chinese and Hong Kong authorities are retaliating against Chinese student activists in Europe and North America in numerous ways: they are being surveilled both online and offline, and their families in China are being threatened by local police. The 32 students interviewed say that as a result they are afraid on their university campuses, spread across eight countries. Amnesty International calls these efforts "a strategy to curb students' human rights wherever they are in the world".
