［2023年7月4日］
保安局局長鄧炳強今日會見傳媒，就警方國安處昨日發出拘捕令，通緝8名身處海外人士，鄧炳強指，這些「通緝犯」認為離開香港便可逃離法律責任，繼續作出危害香港的行為，因此必需對他們嚴懲並依法追究。他續指，這次拘捕令除了要將他們通緝外，更要截斷他們的資金來源，凍結、沒收、充公他們的財產，繼而追查出他們在香港或海外的聯繫人。
鄧炳強亦提及基本法第23條立法，雖特區政府今年年度立法議程未見第23條立法，但他表示，如能趕及相關工作，第23條可以隨時放進立法議程，爭取今年內立法，但最遲於明年將會立法。
Hong Kong security chief says 8 overseas activists will be arrested, assets seized
Hong Kong's security chief vowed today to arrest eight pro-democracy activists overseas and seize their assets as part of a broad crackdown on those accused of threatening national security.
Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-Keing said the fugitives thought they could "evade legal responsibility" by fleeing Hong Kong, but they are continuing to endanger the city.
He said in addition to arresting the activists, the warrants issued by the police national security unit yesterday aim to cut off their funding sources by freezing, confiscating and seizing their assets, as well as tracing their contacts in Hong Kong and abroad.
Tang said they would be "sternly punished and held accountable according to law."
He also said legislation to implement Article 23 of Hong Kong's mini-constitution, which requires the city to pass its own laws against treason, secession and subversion, could be added to the government's legislative agenda "at any time."
Tang said passage of the controversial national security law, which has sparked mass protests in the past, remains a priority and he hopes to see it enacted this year or next year at the latest.
