Former Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmaker Ted Hui said he and his family no longer have access to their bank accounts in the city after he fled to self-imposed exile in the U.K., the South China Morning Post reported.

Five accounts belonging to Hui, his wife and parents have been inaccessible since Saturday, he said in an interview with the newspaper. Police visited HSBC Holdings Plc, Hang Seng Bank and Bank of China with search warrants and told the lenders to suspend some banking services for Hui and his family, the Post said in a separate report.
