Hong Kong activist detained after reportedly planning to claim asylum from US

Hong Kong A 19-year-old Hong Kong activist facing secession charges under the city's national security law was detained Tuesday amid reports he planned to attempt to claim asylum at the United States consulate.

Police said two men and one woman -- aged between 17 and 21 -- were arrested Tuesday in relation to allegedly secessionist comments on social media. Studentlocalism, a onetime pro-independence group, identified the three on Facebook as its former convenor Tony Chung, and former members William Chan and Yanni Ho.

The chilling effect of the nsl is clear in four months. Teens who have barely finished high school are arrested for the crime they are not able to commit, and the ‘evidence’ is a few messages on the social media. save12hkyouths

Seriously, why can't we trade Democrat protestors for Hong Kong protestors? Win win.

CrookedJoeBiden Buyden TuckerCarlson Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski: 'I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying how are you guys getting away with this? Aren't you concerned? He looked at me, and he laughed a little bit, and said 'PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.''

...thereby proving that he does in fact need asylum.

'he planned to attempt to claim asylum at the United States consulate.' Why don't you report that he has been refused by US consulate for a while?

CCP China is using the NationalSecurityLaw to kidnap student activists in Hong Kong and suppress freedom of speech. The world must sanction CCP for destroying the freedoms, human rights and even personal security in HK. StandWithHongKong FreeHK Chinazi FreeTonyChung

Holahist. Họ không biết phải Hồng chuyên Hồng lên và phải kỏng kông kênh A, L,E gốc và truyền thừa kế lại nghe lời dụ ngọt của Cộng Sản thường dạy nó sẽ Bá chủ thế giới này. Những ai tin dụ có muộn nhưng họ hợp tính chung bầy liên cuội như vậy.

Any sovereign country does not tolerate separatists. Ask the MPs in prison in Catalonia.

EGO - kill it LOVE - value it SMILE - keep it GOSSIP - ignore it SUCCESS - achieve it GROWTH - embrace it JEALOUSY - drop it KNOWLEDGE - acquire it CONFIDENCE- exude it

This generation is telling us something. They try so hard to oppress the young voices.

Crying about so many young brave people who only want to have democracy and freedom of speech! In Germany (where they have it all) there are people who deny it and go against this democracy! Wish we could send them to China and let them have the experience of dictatorship!

He is so young plz let him go! 🙏🏻

He is not Black, doesn't matter , dont care

Oh wait!!!!! It realDonaldTrump fault!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like everything that has happened for the past 4 years!!!!!

He must be a superhero like Magneto so that he can overthrow a 2nd strongest country with 1.4b ppl in the world. The saddest truth is: He is just 19yo youth who was abandoned by his family becoz of different political view. CCP_is_terrorist

What about American activists in Philadelphia?

Such traitor deserves it, he was so stupid to believe that America could help. Hong Kong government should teach him a lesson that he never forgotten, no mercy to this kind of idiot.

How about we make a trade? The fascist communists in Antifa for the pro-democracy people of Hong Kong?

We stand with HONG KONG!!!!
