Hong Kong national security police on Monday took in family members of businessman-turned-activist Elmer Yuen for questioning, one of the eight fugitives with bounties on their heads for allegedly breaching national security.

The city announced this month that eight pro-democracy activists, all of whom now live overseas, are wanted for national security crimes, and offered rewards of HK$1 million for each of them.

His daughter-in-law Eunice Yung, a pro-Beijing legislator in Hong Kong who has publicly severed ties with Yuen, told reporters that national security police arrived at her home early Monday with a search warrant. "I believe the police are determined to look for strong evidence from family members of the eight fugitives and to locate the eight people," she told reporters.

Still married to Yuen's son, the pro-Beijing legislator said being brought in on Monday "has not yet affected my relationship with Derek Yuen". Hong Kong's leader John Lee said during his visit to Singapore on Monday that the national security police would "meticulously follow up on every possible lead" to investigate the wanted activists and "the forces behind them".
