Chief Secretary Eric Chan condemns countries for granting asylum to activists and vows to pursue justice for national security offenders
Hong Kong’s No 2 official has summoned the Australian and British consuls general to express strong opposition to their countries “harbouring criminals” after both granted asylum to two activists allegedly endangering national security who have absconded overseas.
The government announced in the early hours of Tuesday that Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki summoned Australian Consul General Gareth Williams and British Consul General Brian Davidson respectively on Monday afternoon. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung also attended the meeting.
The meeting took place days after fugitive former lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung, who lives in Adelaide, and activist Tony Chung Hon-lam, based in London, announced separately on their social media accounts last weekend that they had been granted asylum by the governments of Australia and the UK.
