UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly Said : " We call on Beijing to remove the National Security law and for the Hong Kong authorities to end their targeting of those who stand up for freedom and democracy. "

Under The Law , hundreds of pro-democracy campaigners have been arrested and convicted in Hong Kong .

Mr Law , one of The Most prominent figures in the pro-democracy movement, Said that while he felt his situation was " relatively safe" in the UK, he would have to be more vigilant about divulging his whereabouts or when transiting through certain Countries .

" All these things may put My Life in to dangerous situations if I'm not careful enough of who I meet or where I go. It makes me have To Live in a more careful life. "

One of The Other exiled activists - Anna Kwok, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Democracy Council - Said The Bounty was aimed at intimidating her and her fellow activists.

She Said in a statement they were all " united in our fight for freedom and democracy in Our Home , Hong Kong ".

She told The Bbc 's Newshour programme she had felt initial shock on hearing of the bounties but wanted to speak out.

" That's exactly the kind of thing the Hong Kong government and the Chinese Communist party would do - which is to intimidate people into not doing anything, silencing them.

" And that's why immediately I thought OK, I should make this a big thing and I should definitely talk about the transnational repression that's going on here and also the Scare Tactics - as well as how the Hong Kong government is just trying to see by which point would The International community smack their hands and tell them to back off. "

Australia 's Foreign Minister Penny Wong Said her government was " deeply disappointed" by The Announcement and Said Australia " remains deeply concerned by the continuing erosion of Hong Kong 's rights, freedoms and autonomy".

The US State Department Said The Move sets " a dangerous precedent that threatens the Human Rights and fundamental freedoms of people all over the world".
