Early on the morning of Sept. 1, police arrested Ms. Ng at a subway station in Hong Kong after a night of violence. Protesters damaged transit infrastructure, and police responded with pepper spray, batons and the firing of live rounds.Over the next 48 hours, police brought Ms. Ng first to a hospital to treat her asthma, before taking her to the Kwai Chung Police Station and then the San Uk Ling Holding Centre, a facility near the border with mainland China.
Since making her allegations public on Oct. 10, she has been deluged with hundreds of calls and vicious messages – including a lengthy and detailed e-mail pledging, “You will be gang raped within a year” – and accused of inconsistencies in her account. Her personal details, including her phone number, are circulating on social media in mainland China.
The case has important implications for Canada, underscoring the degree to which long-standing ties with Hong Kong, where roughly 300,000 people are believed to hold Canadian passports, have made the city’s continuing unrest a matter of direct concern for Ottawa.Ms. Ng has never set foot in Canada; she was born to a mother with Canadian citizenship.
In August, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland called for “urgent steps [to be] taken to de-escalate the situation” in a joint statement with the European Union that drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing. Ms. Freeland has also said Ottawa has made “careful plans for all contingencies” in Hong Kong.
Police policy requires officers of the same gender as those arrested to take statements and conduct investigations, Chief Insp. Cheung said. “Any search that goes beyond a simple patting down has to have a justification. And the reason usually would be, for example, people who were arrested for suspected drug offences and there is a reasonable suspicion that they might be hiding drugs inside their undergarments,” said Randy Shek, a barrister who has helped co-ordinate some 200 lawyers offering pro bono legal services for protesters.

Ms Ng’s brave to stand up to her nightmare. We’re sad & angry to know what she’s gone through. Ottawa should extend a helping hand to protect her citizens. Ng was threatened after speaking up(news): Watch her sharing below:
Hong Kong has the right and ability to deport a person to Canada if you violate the law. Can use dual citizenship As a Canadian you must obey laws of country you are in regardless of your beliefs. The Embassy can help to work with the law or such. Canada does same to visitors
