A British consulate employee detained in China was arrested for soliciting prostitutes, the country's state-backed Global Times newspaper has said.
It reported Simon Cheng Man-Kit has had broken a"public security" law, which carries a penalty of detention for 10 to 15 days and a fine of 5,000 yuan . Local police referred journalists to the newspaper's story, which is published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily group.Mr Cheng Man-Kit has not been seen for 13 days, after he failed to return to work following a business trip on 8 August to Shenzhen, which links Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland.
The 28-year-old is a trade and investment officer in the Scottish Development International government agency, inside Britain's consulate in Hong Kong., where there have been mass anti-government protests. He was on his way back by train when he called his girlfriend, urging her to"pray for me", and told her he was approaching the border when he lost contact, according to news website HK01.
