Police notified Pavlou’s legal team on Friday that they had relaxed his bail conditions, pending further enquiries, for him to return on October 21.

“The past four weeks have been the lowest point of my life,” Pavlou told. “I am so glad I can get home because I just don’t feel safe here in London.”

He still faces the possibility of being charged for trespassing on diplomatic premises, criminal damage and communicating false information to make a bomb hoax – which carries a seven-year jail term. Pavlou’s pro bono barrister, Michael Polak, said it was clear to any right-minded person that the Chinese authorities have “watched him” and “kind of fitted him up”. He said the Chinese Ambassador to Australia’s decision to mention Pavlou’s circumstances, unsolicited, during a speech in Canberra last week showed they were “goading” his client.

Polak, who represented Uighur activists in a legal action challenge to the British government’s decision to grant Huawei a role in 5G networks, said if Pavlou was to be treated fairly by police then investigators needed to look at the Chinese Embassy computer networks.
