Millions offered for information on protesters

The website, established by Leung Chun-ying, lists specific incidents it wants information on, and offers rewards of up to HK$1 million.

A website linked to former Chief Executive CY Leung is offering rewards of up to HK$1 million for information leading to the prosecution of people linked to specific anti-government protests over the past two months.



In all, up to HK$8m – which the site says will be raised in future through crowd-funding – are on offer.



The name of the site, 803.hk, refers to an incident on August 3 when a national flag was taken down from a pole outside Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, and thrown into the Victoria Harbour.



Leung had personally offered a reward of HK$1m for useful information leading to the prosecution of those responsible.



And that's still the reward listed on the website – which was established on August 12 under the name Leung Chun-ying – Leung’s full name.



That's not the only reward, though – smaller sums of at least HK$200,000 are listed for info on around 30 specific incidents, including the storming of the Legislative Council Building and the cutting-down of a smart lamppost in Kowloon Bay.



The desecration of the national emblem at the Beijing Liaison Office carries a HK$1m reward.



The website also says all rewards will come from the community, and a crowd-funding drive will be launched later.



Leung didn't immediately respond to RTHK’s request for confirmation that he had set up the website. But on his personal facebook page, he has posted a photo of the site, and asked his followers to spread the news.
