Activists gather outside the British Consulate-General building in Hong Kong on Aug. 21, 2019, following reports that Simon Cheng, a Hong Kong consulate employee had been detained by mainland Chinese authorities on his way back to the city.A former employee of the British Consulate in Hong Kong says he was detained and tortured by Chinese secret police trying to extract information about massive anti-government protests in the territory.
Chinese police in August announced Cheng’s release after 15 days of administrative detention but gave no details of the reasons behind his detention. “The Chinese ambassador to the U.K. will lodge the complaints with the U.K. to express our strong opposition and indignation to the U.K.’s wrong words and deeds on Hong Kong in these days,” Geng said.
China says it doesn’t allow suspects to be tortured or make false confessions, although both practices are believed to be common. Cheng wrote that while being held he was shuttled between detention and interrogation centres while hooded and handcuffed. In addition to being shackled to the frame, he wrote he was ordered to assume stress positions for “countless hours,” and was beaten with what felt like “sharpened batons” and poked in the knee if he faltered. He was also punished for dozing off during the sessions by being forced to sing the Chinese national anthem, he wrote.

chinazi 's legal system is the tool of achieving political objective. So that's why HKers needs to say no to the extradition law. However, the protest has disclosed the dark side of HKGov and HKPoliceTerrorism so the protest has become the movement of fighting fot freedom
He shouldn’t be the only one under CCP governance. God bless them! SOSHK
