  • Sexually explicit letters and posters targeting exiled Hong Kong activists, including Carmen Lau and Ted Hui, have been sent to addresses in the UK and Australia, reflecting an increase in harassment against critics of the Chinese Communist Party. The letters, featuring deepfake images of Lau as a sex worker, were dispatched to her former neighbors in Maidenhead, UK.
  • This development highlights the escalating risks faced by pro-democracy activists in exile, as it underscores the lengths to which the Chinese Communist Party may go to intimidate dissenters and undermine their credibility internationally.
